1985 Audi 5000s Wagon In Very Good Condition For Sale! on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
I’ve been restoring this gem. Unfortunately, I’m now in the process of
relocating overseas with my job and there isn’t an easy way to take it with me.
So, up for sale it goes, along with
pretty much everything else I own. This is everything I can think to tell you about it: GENERAL 1.
It was purchased in May of 2012 on eBay from someone
who specializes in one-owner cars and it was shipped to Phoenix. The single owner before me was in San Diego,
CA which is where the car came from so the body is in very good condition with
no visible rust 2.
It has been waxed by hand twice a year since
I’ve owned it 3.
The interior and all rubber/plastic exterior
parts have been treated with Armor All twice at least twice a year since I’ve
owned it 4.
All repairs that have been recommended were
performed with the exception of the items in the Condition section below 5.
The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles, by
the Audi dealer, with full synthetic oil (important to know because it will
require synthetic oil from now on) CONDITION 6.
Numerous repairs have been made to it since I’ve
owned it (see the section(s) below outlining not only the repairs that have
made but also the condition of everything I can think of including all the
options and their respective functionality).
It also outlines everything included in the sale including
documentation, parts and accessories. 7.
Overall it is in very good condition 8.
It has the 2.2L 5-cylinder engine which was one
of Audi’s best engines of all time 9.
It is my daily driver so as of the time of the listing
it has 93,851 miles (there will be more miles on it before the auction ends but
I travel 100% for business so it’s usually parked in covered parking at the
airport for days at a time so it doesn’t get driven a whole lot) 10. It
has no visible 11. I’m
not a lead-footed driver and have enjoyed pretty good gas mileage which,
according to the trip computer, is approximately 25 in the city and 34 on the
highway (when cruise control is used) 12. It
has passed every annual smog test, including the most recent one on 6.16.14 13. All
of the repairs have been done by Chandler Audi since I’ve owned it until I
recently moved more than an hour away from the dealer at which time I took it
to a mechanic that specializes in vintage cars and did all the repairs the one
time it was there. If you’d like to
speak with my vintage mechanic I’ll be happy to provide his name/phone number
(just send me a note through eBay) 14. There
are no leaks, noises, or other engine/transmission issues me or my mechanic are
aware of as of the time of this listing (the dealer said the
engine/transmission were in excellent condition the first time they saw it) 15. I’ve
driven it on a several long trips (250 miles each way) through the Arizona
mountains, with the AC on, loaded with people and stuff, cruise control set at
80 (AZ speed limits are mostly 75 on highways) and never had any issues 16. Things
I know need to be repaired: v. It needs an AC to heater core hose for the AC to blow cold (until that hose is replaced it will only blow cool) INCLUDED IN THE SALE 17. Included

INFORMATION
LOGISTICS/SHIPPING 50. Since
I’m in the process of relocating overseas, I don’t care what it sells for as
long as it goes to a good home 51. I’m
happy to work directly with a shipper should you choose to use one (I’ll
provide all my contact information following the conclusion of the auction) and
all costs/responsibility/damage related to shipping are the responsibility of
the buyer. The eBay shipping option(s)
looks pretty good and was not available when I purchased this car 52. The
car must be picked up by the buyer/shipper/designated agent within five business
days following the conclusion of the auction unless my travel schedule requires
it to be longer, in which case I will let the buyer know as soon as I know,
because I do not want to be responsible for anything that could happen to it
while it’s still in my possession 53. I
travel 100% for business so I apologize in advance as my responses to inquiries
may be slow 54. Also
because I travel 100% for business it may take a bit of effort to arrange
pick-up/shipping logistics and I apologize for that in advance as well. However, my intention is to make the process
as simple as possible. With this in mind, I am recommending using a shipper unless you live in Phoenix because I am often only home long enough to do laundry, unpack, re-pack, and go right back to the airport. We can also arrange for the keys, title, etc. to be mailed once payment(s) have cleared and the buyer can come at his/her leisure to pick it up and I do not have to be here (if you think of any other way to arrange pick-up/delivery, let me know. I'm happy to consider things I have not thought of) 55. Unless my schedule changes, I will be out of town until the day after the auction ends 56. My
license plate(s) will be removed prior to releasing it to the buyer/shipper 57. The
car is for sale locally so the eBay listing may be ended at any time PAYMENT 58. Payment
is via cashier’s check or cash in-person (cashier’s check may be mailed or
given to the shipper). I’m also willing
to accept a wire transfer. If this
option is desired, the information needed to facilitate this type of
transaction will be provided following the conclusion of the auction (I'm guessing this will be the easiest option and I'm willing to allow extra time for processing as I had to do this once and if I remember correctly, it took a week for the money to reach the seller's account and be cleared) 59. Payment
in full must be received within seven business days (same timeframe as pick-up)
following the conclusion of the auction and the $500.00 deposit be
cleared/approved through PayPal prior to release to the buyer/shipper/designated
agent 60. Should
a fail-to-pay situation arise, in order to have my eBay/PayPal commission fees
refunded, an unpaid case must be opened which will result in an automatic
negative mark on the buyers account from eBay ADDITIONAL PHOTOS Here is a link to additional photos and documents (by clicking one of the photos, the descriptions will appear, where I've documented everything I'm pointing to as well as things that may not be obvious): http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t531/seville3/1985%20Audi%205000S%20Wagon/107_zps7bf60783.jpg 61. I’m
not sure what people may want photos of so if there is something you’d like a
photo of and isn’t included in the current photos, let me know. I’ll take the photos if it’s something I’m
able to capture in a photo and upload it to the photos link above (the night
time photos are to show the functioning of the lights, both interior and
exterior) DISCLAIMER 62. It
is being sold as-is and where-is 63. Also,
keep in mind that any car can have something stop working, especially vintage
cars and I’m guessing if you’re looking at this type of car you are more than
likely already aware of that QUESTIONS 64. If
there are any questions not already answered, by all means let me know. Happy bidding! On Jun-21-14 at 06:45:04 PDT, seller added the following information: The person who bought the other car I had listed figured out a way to send the entire payment via PayPal. When I set up the auction ebay indicated PayPal could only be used for a deposit. I'm not sure how he was able to use PayPal for the entire payment but if you are able to figure out how to do it, PayPal is preferable over all other forms of payment. |

Audi already teasing, testing next R18 e-tron quattro
Mon, 09 Dec 2013You can't debate Audi's record in endurance racing. With 12 victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it comes second only to Porsche in the history books of the famous endurance race - only in Audi's case, all of those victories have come in the last 14 years, losing only twice: once to its partner team Bentley in 2003 and once to rival Peugeot in 2009. It's won the FIA World Endurance Championship in both of the seasons it's run so far, and has won championships in the European and American Le Mans Series, too.
That's quite a record to defend, and defend it Audi will with an evolved LMP1 racer next year. Only a week after tying up its second consecutive world championship, the German outfit is already back at Sebring this weekend testing the successor to the all-conquering R18 e-tron Quattro. Unfortunately as the new United SportsCar Championship doesn't include LMP1s, the only chance we may have to see it competing here in the United States will be at the 6 Hours of the Circuit of the Americas in September.
Audi is keeping mum on the details for the time being, releasing only this one photo and promising to reveal further details before the end of the month, but we can already discern a more streamlined shape, revised aero and reprofiled headlamps among the changes from the outgoing R18. One way or another, with Toyota upping its game and Porsche returning to top-level competition next season, Audi may be in for its toughest challenge yet - but you can bet it won't take it lying down. Scope out the press release below and watch this space for more.
2014 Audi SQ5
Thu, 03 Oct 2013No Diesel? No Problem
With the exception of a handful of markets (including the US), the Audi SQ5 was a pioneer for the company's S/RS performance line as it was the first model to wear the badge and also get diesel power. Our general "everything is better with a diesel" mentality was put to the test when we first heard we would be getting a non-diesel SQ5 in the US (despite the availability of the diesel-powered Q5 TDI here already), but as usual we can only blame our federal emissions standards. As Audi tells it, the SQ5 TDI engine would require AdBlue to meet US emissions regulations, and the packaging of such a system just wasn't possible, so the global SQ5's diesel engine was replaced by a gasoline-powered V6 borrowed from the Audi S4/S5. To show that little, if anything, was lost in translation from diesel to gas, we headed to southwestern Colorado to spend an afternoon with the all-new 2014 Audi SQ5.
Our drive program had us taking the SQ5 from Durango, CO to the city of Gateway, before heading to Grand Junction the next morning. There's nothing like spending five hours strapped into a seat, traversing hill and mountain, to truly test a vehicle's comfort and driving dynamics. From the first touch of the SQ5's push-button starter, we knew this was no ordinary Q5. As the engine came to life with a deep burble and raspy pops, and we spent the rest of the day trying to come to terms with the fact that not everything needs a diesel. Wait. What?!
Subaru WRX STI vs. Audi S3 in compact AWD dustup
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's not every day that a Subaru and an Audi can be reasonably compared head-to-head; the two brands tend not to compete directly in their respective segments. However, the latest WRX STI and the S3 Sedan offer the perfect chance to find out if the working-class Scooby can beat its upper-crust competitor.
The UK's Auto Express gets behind the wheel of these two all-wheel drive performance sedans, or saloons as the Brits call them. Across the pond, both of them are rated at an identical 296 horsepower, but the Subaru edges out the Four Rings on torque. Like in the US, British buyers have to pay a little more to get the Audi, but it comes with a nicer interior and more brand cachet, if that means anything to you.
The video starts out with a fairly standard road test comparing the two of them back-to-back - all fairly subjective. But then Auto Express takes the trip to the drag strip, and the results there are much more conclusive. There's a definite winner when they cross the line, but you have to scroll down to see which of these turbocharged models with rallying heritage wins out.
