Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

NOTE: I have 7 videos of the car uploaded on YouTube but eBay won't allow me to list them in this description, please email me at iancu_b@yahoo.com or text me at 267-984-3579 and I will send you the links to them.
This was my wife's car, we bought it a bit over a year ago with 159,xxx miles and just turned 170,000. The timing belt/water pump/thermostat/tensioners and rollers were replaced at 115,000 miles and will be due again at 220,000. I replaced the valve cover gaskets, cam plugs, complete PCV system, injectors(4 holes updated red tops), fuel, air and pollen filter, spark plugs(NGK Iridiums good for 100,000 miles), a front axle, brakes, Interstate battery, vacuum lines,coolant flush, brake flush, transmission fluid and filter replaced,etc. I swapped a complete two-tone Allroad interior including door panels with the rear window shades....original interior was brown, I didn't like that very much. I also replaced front shocks, lower and upper control arms, I mounted an S4 thicker sway bar and end links, the rear sway bar is from a Sport model A6 with the V8 4.2. The car was very reliable and dependable, we had zero issues with it. Very safe (6 airbags) and fits a car seat in the back easily. Baby stroller, pack'n'play, you name it....it fits. Back rest folds down to increase cargo space. BOSE stereo, heated seats(front and rear), power everything.....this car was $46,000 in 1999, you get the idea. Recently the transmission started making noise, it drives fine, has forward and reverse but sounds like a bad power steering pump. It shifts fine and does not slip yet but I do not recommend driving it. If the transmission is still salvageable please consider towing it. I drove it around the block to shoot some videos and once in a while I'll drive it a mile or two just to get the fluids running and charge the battery but I do not recommend driving it long distance. I did not take it on the highway nor do I recommend that. The car has been pretty much sitting since winter, I bought an S6 Avant and an Allroad for my wife so needless to say we won't be fixing the A6 but rather part with it and move on. The car had PA inspection until the end of February 2014 and (assuming the transmission doesn't quit completely or gets fixed) it will need a new windshield to pass again, current one did not survive this winter. UnionAutoGlass quoted me $190 installed and they come to your house, other quotes were in the $200 range. There are no warning lights on the dash, no check engine light and no codes in the systems. The brakes are rusty from sitting and the headliner is starting to sag. KBB for this car in FAIR condition is $3,393.....I have a whole lot more into the car and willing to take a reasonable loss on it. You could part it out for twice as much money then my asking price, I have no space or time to do so plus I think it would be a shame, the car has a lot of life left in it. The Allroad interior(seats and door panels) was close to $1,000 by itself, it's a lot of car for the money. Please let me know if you have any questions. The car can be seen in Port Richmond (19134) section of Philadelphia. Thank you for reading this ad. Best regards, John 267-984-3579 |

Audi reveals updated RS7 Sportback in Europe
Mon, 02 Jun 2014It was just a couple of weeks ago that Audi revealed a few mild updates to its A7. It even ported those changes over to the warmed-up S7 performance version. All that was missing was the full-steam RS7, and that's precisely what we have here.
Now before you get all excited, note that the new RS7 packs the same powertrain as the model it succeeds, but then again, the existing RS7 hardly lacked in the power department. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 still churns out 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, transmitted to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. Revealed initially for the European market (with US details presumably to follow), the 0-62 kilometers per hour time is quoted at 3.9 seconds, so the 0-60 mph time ought to match the 3.7 seconds of the preceding model.
What has changed are the subtle tweaks Audi has made to the exterior and equipment upgrades inside. The grille now features has a horizontal section at the bottom with the Quattro logo emblazoned across like all other recently revised RS models, flanked by new headlights (Matrix LED units for the European market). Inside the cabin the air-con vents and shift paddles have been reshaped, and the new MMI system ports over from the new A7 and S7 with 4G LTE connectivity and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models.
