1987 Audi 5000s Front Wheel Drive With Spare Engine/transmission/parts/books on 2040-cars
Bethalto, Illinois, United States
|
1987 Audi 5000S. 2nd odometer shows 284,000. total miles on car around 484,000. 2nd owner, I have had this car since 1991. Runs, drives. Power brakes disconnected, power steering disconnected. Steering rack seals leak therefore power steering disconnected. I have driven this car daily for years with manual steering and manual brakes. I do not recommend that for anyone else though. Sometimes cold starting is difficult to keep running until warms up. Paint is basically gone with the rust free galvanized steel exposed. Has some oil leaks, could be made reliable by the right mechanic. 4 wheel disc brakes. Extra engine and transmission from car with 220,000 on it. Ran when I removed it. Spare body parts, computers, some lenses, Bentley manuals. Distributor on spare engine pickup is no good. Ice/snow tires on the car are excellent, around 25,000 miles on them. Basically a project if an Audi enthusiast has some skills and time. Rear leather seat is great. front seats are cracked/worn. passenger seat heater works, wipers work, horn works, e-brake works, heat and blower works, A/C leaked down about 10 years ago and obviously does not work. rear defrost works, sunroof works. Catalytic converter has been removed and exhaust pieced together but is intact. various spare body panels from donor car, hood, window regulators, sunroof mechanism, couple of doors Must be picked up locally unless truck transport can be arranged. I will help if possible.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
US diesel model count to double for 2014?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013While diesel cars are popular on most other continents, these less-complex alternative to hybrid-electric vehicles have yet to gain major traction in the US. As an increasing number of light cars and trucks start to offer these fuel-efficient engines, though, sales are expected to climb as well. While BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche) continue to lead the way, more non-German automakers like Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler and General Motors are starting to get serious about diesel in America.
TheDetroitBureau.com reports that the 2014 model year will see the number of diesel vehicles offered in the US double to about 40 nameplates, but the news gets even better for fans of these torquey and efficient powerplants. LMC Automotive has released data about future expectations of diesel cars in the US, and it predicts that sales should be very close to one million units in 2015 (up from an expected 600,000 units this year). By 2018, LMC's calculations suggest that sales will more than double from this year's expected totals accounting for almost 8 percent of new light-vehicle sales.
Audi claims World Endurance Championship at Fuji
Mon, 21 Oct 2013It's been a successful racing season for Audi so far this year. After claiming the drivers' title in the DTM series, the German automaker has successfully defended both its titles in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The decision came after heavy rain ended the 6 Hours of Fuji after only 16 laps, virtually the entire race having been run behind the safety car. Although Alexander Wurz, Nicolas Lapierre and Kazuki Nakajima won the race for Toyota - the Japanese automaker's first this season - the second-place finish achieved by Allan McNish, Tom Kristensen and Loïc Duval propelled Audi Sport Team Joest out of its challengers' reach.
While the actual drivers' title still remains in contention, the battle now comes down exclusively to the two leading Audi trios: McNish, Kristensen and Duval hold the lead with 147 points ahead of André Lotterer, Marcel Fässler and Benoît Tréluyer, who hold 106.25 points in the standings. Either way, Audi will be awarded both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles in the series with two races still to go in Shanghai and Bahrain.
