You are bidding on a 2003 Audi TT Quattro Roadster AWD Manual Transmission, 225 HP Turbo

Interior color: Baseball Optic Tan

Color: Arctic White

Miles: 58,916

FEATURES

Among other features, highlights include:

Bose audio system with 10 disc CD changer

Automatic Climate Control System

Heated leather stitched seats

19” alloy wheels


The car is all wheel drive 225 hp turbo. Four cylinder turbo strikes a perfect balance between underpowered 195 hp, 4 cylinder engine and heavy, gas guzzling 250 hp, 6 cylinder model. With it's all wheel drive and manual transmission, this model is comparable to an Audi TT RS roadster that starts at 66K.

CONDITION

This car has been in my possession for about seven years and it's in immaculate condition. It was maintained and serviced on regular basis. Only synthetic oil and premium gas were used- records available.

It's my third car. Me and my wife used this car for our trips to Napa, every other weekend. It was always garaged. Never used for city commute. As a result,- not a single dent on it's doors and fenders; bumpers that never been re-painted and still look new.

The leather seats are in perfect condition,- no tears, cracks or scratches.

Windshield is free of cracks and chips.

The carpeted floor is free of stains and cigarette burns.

This car never been smoked in,- neither by the owner, nor passengers.

Driven by an adult. No engine alterations of any kind where done.

Transmission, clutch and shifting work like Swiss clock.

CLEAN TITLE

Note: not all clean titles are the same. This car was never even in the small fender-bender.(important, since those are not always reported to insurance companies).

CONVERTIBLE TOP

The car was always parked in a heated garage. You can polish an old car to perfection, but the faded, worn out top, will give it's age away. This TT's top is in like new condition.

EXTRAS

TT is a wonderful car with robust, precise transmission, but like any model of any make it has it's own weak spot. TT's flaw is it's transmission selector fork (a weak rivet, to be exact). Tiny part that fails regardless of your driving style. It's a common and a very expensive problem (Google Audi TT selector fork), fixing which may cost you anywhere from 4k-7k, depending on your negotiations skills and whether you have any friends working at Audi service station.

A new selector fork with reinforced rivet were installed on this TT, so you wouldn't have to.

As well as:

A new clutch 7700 miles back. ($3,500)

New spark plugs and engine coils ($500)

And a new set of tires. ($800)


I feel sorry to part with it, but have to make room for expanding family and other vehicles. Flexible on the price as long as it ends up in good hands.

P.S.

Since everyone's mastery of stick shift is different, and due to precise nature of Audi's German engineered transmission, test drives will only be offered to buyers who are comfortable with the price and ready to buy. I'll be happy to give a ride to all others.

VW CEO lost his job over buggy software that delayed new models

Mon, Jul 25 2022

It says a lot about the state of the auto industry and where it's going that software problems have cost the CEO of a carmaker his job. Volkswagen ousted Herbert Diess as chief executive officer after severe software-development delays set back the scheduled launch of new Porsches, Audis and Bentleys. This was untenable considering buggy software postponed the debut of VW’s initial rollout of ID models, and customers are still having to drop off their cars at the dealer for updates the company has struggled to make over the air. Sure, Diess also didnÂ’t do enough to make allies and became increasingly isolated due to his hard-nosed leadership style. In his push to transform the company into an electric-vehicle leader, he repeatedly clashed with labor leaders by warning VW was losing out to Tesla and needed to cut thousands of jobs. But failures at the carmakerÂ’s software unit Cariad ultimately eroded DiessÂ’s support from the powerful Porsche and Piech family that calls the shots. Back in December, VW overhauled its management board, stripping Diess of some responsibilities while tasking him to turn around Cariad. While thereÂ’s been a lot of re-arranging since then, Diess didnÂ’t manage to make the issues go away. Discord at Cariad has pushed back the rollout of important new models including the electric Porsche Macan, a high-volume sport utility vehicle for the division thatÂ’s planning an initial public offering in the fourth quarter. AudiÂ’s new line of Artemis EVs has been delayed by around two years to 2027. And VWÂ’s ultra-luxury brand Bentley may not be able to go all-electric by the end of this decade as planned because of the software issues, Automobilwoche reported earlier this month. “Taking over the ship at Cariad seems to have been DiessÂ’s downfall,” said Matthias Schmidt, an independent auto analyst based in Berlin. VWÂ’s solutions to challenges tend to reflect its status as an industrial behemoth: itÂ’s able to throw lots of money and people at its problems. But modernizing the company for the digital age is going to take bringing in talent and building skillsets outside its traditional zones of expertise. Drivers increasingly demand intuitive user interfaces and services that could create new revenue streams, if done correctly. “Software is the key to the future,” TeslaÂ’s Elon Musk tweeted when one of his followers asked about VW switching CEOs. Diess certainly didnÂ’t lack ambition.

2015 Audi Q3 is ready to woo America's young and upwardly mobile

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

You can hardly blame Audi for its decision to finally bring its Q3 compact crossover to America, even though it's been on sale in other global markets since 2012. CUVs of all stripes are red hot, and the number of players in the US entry-level premium segment is mushrooming. Rapidly growing Audi simply can't afford to be left out of the discussion in favor of vehicles like the BMW X1, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, and even small near-luxury entries like the Buick Encore, if only because capturing these customers could result in subsequent sales of more profitable models down the road.
Audi evidently intends to attract these new, younger customers by spoiling them in decidedly unGermanic fashion: by offering lots of standard equipment. Peruse the spec sheet on base models from rivals and you'll see things like manually adjusted faux leather seats, conventional projector headlamps, and little in the way of frills. By comparison, the 2015 Q3 comes with an embarrassment of standard features, including heated and power-articulated leather seats, panoramic moonroof, Xenon headlamps with LED accents and keyless start.
First impressions of the four-cylinder, 200-horsepower Q3 revealed here at the Detroit Auto Show are very positive, with a rakish (if overly familiar) shape and a fair amount of utility with up to 48.2 cubic feet of storage with the rear seats folded. If Audi can price the Q3 similarly to the entry-level BMW X1 sDrive28i ($31,825 delivered) when it arrives this fall, we think it'll sell like hotcakes - just like its Q5 big brother.

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
