I purchased this Silver on Black Leather A3 from Circle Audi in Long Beach in August of 2012 as a Certified Pre-Owned auto. I am the second owner. This car is in CPO/excellent condition with 28K miles. The new owner will enjoy nearly two more years of the transferrable Audi CPO Warranty, through August of 2015. All major services have been done at an Audi dealer; first Audi of Santa Monica, then Circle Audi. I recently had the 25K mile service performed, as well as having the tires rotated. This car is rock-solid and in showroom condition. The only damage is on one wheel, which has slight curb rash (passenger rear; pic attached so you can see it). The rest of the wheels are in excellent condition.

It has the premium and cold weather packages; also the panoramic roof option (sunroof+). Basically, it is loaded with just about everything; bluetooth phone, sat radio, aux jack for playing music, leather seats, power driver seat, heated seats, cruise control, daytime running lights, power everything, etc. Upgrades from stock include an Audi S-line shifter knob w/ white stitching on shift boot (looks so much nicer than stock), slightly tinted side windows (30%), and an Audi custom fitted sunshade for the windshield. This car has never been marred with weird upgrades or engine tuning, which can be a concern with this model. It is completely stock with the exception of the S-Line shifter knob, which is an Audi part.

I am a mature driver who keeps cars meticulously. I am selling A3 because my employer made a special lease offer that I cannot refuse. I have to say, it has been the most fun car I've had where there were no compromises to utility (4 door, plenty of storage, split-row rear seats, etc.). I have priced the car to sell quickly, since my new car is coming in soon. To save you the research, KBB shows $20,827 CPO and $18,375 person-to-person (non-CPO). Give me a call to see or discuss the car. Ryan 310-279-3467.

Audi releases quartet of A3 commercials, likely headed for Super Bowl

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

With the announcement from Audi that it's new A3 would be the star of this year's Super Bowl advertising efforts still relatively fresh, it comes as a bit of a shock that what may be game-bound ads for the new small car are already starting to show up.
A3forums found four ads for the new A3, all of which are currently unlisted on YouTube, that play on the idea of young drivers saving themselves for the right luxury car. The spots are amusing, although we'll admit that we've seen better from Audi. Each spot plays like a clip from a documentary, with owners of cars from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus talking about their regrets when it came to buying a luxury car, rather than waiting for the A3.
We've got all four videos below, so take a look now, as we're betting they'll be pulled before too long.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

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.
