We're the original owners of this 2002 Audi S6 Avant. I purchased this car for my wife the year our daughter was born and it's been her kid transporter for the past 12 years. The only notable event in the car's history was a minor accident (doesn't even show up on Autocheck) several years ago where the passenger front quarter panel was damaged (no other damage). It was cosmetic only and the panel was replaced with an OEM aluminum front quarter panel by a top quality shop and you'd never know it happened. The car has never been smoked in and has never been driven hard or modified in any way.

The vehicle exterior is in pretty good shape considering it's age, the exception being the driver front quarter panel where someone left a nice dent in a parking lot (please see pic)... a paint-less dent repair person could probably improve the look quite a bit since the paint isn't chipped or cracked. There are some scratches on the rear bumper (inevitable in all the school parking lots) and a couple of minor door dings. I tried to capture the flaws in pics as best I could. This S6 has been garaged all its life so the paint looks great.

The interior shows very typical wear on the rubber surfaces (around the headlight switch and the hvac buttons) but everything works as it should including heated seats, 6-disc cd changer, a/c, power seats, sunroof, power windows, central locks, etc. with the only exception being the navigation (one of the kids stepped on the controller when they were smaller)... it could be fixed quite easily by replacing the console controller but it's such an archaic system my wife didn't use it anyway (still have all the navigation discs though). The leather is in very good condition with no rips or tears or excessive wear (treated regularly with a good quality conditioner).

Mechanically the car is in excellent condition. All service has been done at Danbury Audi for the past 7 years or so since we moved to CT and no expense was spared. All 4 rotors and pads were replaced (as well as some suspension bushings) within the past year and the radiator was replaced a few months ago due to a slow leak. Other items that have been replaced recently due to age include the oil cooler and pipe, the coolant expansion tank, turn signal stalk, engine air filter, cabin pollen filter, coolant temperature sensor and thermostat. Major service was done on time (belts/water pump). Continental tires have good tread remaining. New battery last fall. Engine is strong and transmission shifts as smoothly as it did 12 years ago.

Includes both keys and original books and even the window sticker. Happy to send specific high res pics on request.

CARB found another emissions-defeating device, this time from Audi

Mon, Nov 7 2016

The California Air Resources Board has discovered another emissions-cheating device on an Audi earlier this summer, reports German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. The device is different from the software found in the VW Group's diesel-powered engines, as it alters the way the cars' automatic transmission shifts. The latest device, according to Bild am Sonntag, measures how far the cars' steering wheel is being turned. If the wheel is turned less than 15 degrees, indicating that the vehicle is being tested in laboratory conditions, a program in cars with certain automatic transmissions changes the way the gearbox shifts. The change in the transmission allows the engine to produce less carbon dioxide than when driving in normal conditions. When the wheel is turned more than 15 degrees, the program automatically turns off, claims Bild am Sonntag. The paper reports that Audi took the software out of its vehicles, which was used in both diesel- and gasoline-powered vehicles in Europe and the US, earlier this May after CARB discovered the program on one of the automaker's older cars. Several engineers that were connected with the emissions-cheating device have already been suspended, reports Bild am Sonntag. As the German newspaper points out, the device, which is fitted to certain Audis with an automatic transmission, is different from the cheat devices found on the automaker's 3.0-liter TDI turbodiesel V6 engine and Volkswagen's 2.0-liter turbodiesel motor, even those were also designed to beat emissions tests. The 3.0-liter engine is found in the Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne models. Audi didn't immediately respond to our request for a comment.

Audi spotted testing new S4 at the Nurburgring

Tue, Apr 21 2015

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Only in this case, the smoke is the upcoming new Audi A4, and the fire is the S4 spotted undergoing testing in this latest batch of spy shots. Snapped in both sedan and Avant wagon forms while undergoing testing on and around the Nurburgring – where else? Â– the next-generation Audi S4 will of course be based on the new A4 that's anticipated to debut in Frankfurt this September. That means MLB Evo architecture and styling that takes a page out of the new TT's playbook. But in S4 trim, it'll be altogether more performance oriented. Expect an even more powerful version of the outgoing model's 3.0-liter supercharged V6, pumping out a good 340-350 horsepower to all four of its driven wheels. That power will help it keep pace with the new Mercedes C450 AMG Sport. It won't have to take on the new C63 AMG directly, though, as that'll be the job of the next RS4 that will slot above it. But since that model may never make it to US showrooms, this will stand as the flagship of the new A4 family as far as the American market is concerned. Related Video:

2016 Audi A6

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

After dodging light traffic for more than 10 miles at speeds never exceeding 85 miles per hour, the left lane of the derestricted autobahn ahead of us finally opens wide. This is the opportunity we've been waiting for, and we bury the accelerator against its stop and hold it there. The transmission attached to the turbocharged four-cylinder of our 2016 Audi A6 drops a couple gears and begins an arduous battle against aerodynamic drag.
The sleek sedan cuts through the wind effortlessly up until about 125 mph, after which the speedometer needle slows noticeably as the outside world continues to blur. By 145 mph, there's no longer a discernible feeling of acceleration, yet the bright-orange speedometer needle continues its climb. Finally, the speedometer nearly reaches 160 before we are forced to firmly brake and return to saner speeds because of traffic looming ahead.
Automakers routinely host us in Europe and elsewhere to sample their wares in a much less restrictive driving environment. Which explains why we find ourselves standing in Dresden, Germany, a stunningly beautiful 800-year-old city along the Elbe River, overlooking Audi's latest executive express.
