You are looking at (and possibly bidding on) an absolute time capsule. I will try to give an exhaustive description of the car to encompass all that I would want to know if I were perhaps considering the purchase of a car sight unseen. Here goes: I own an operate a premier German repair shop in Denver. Look us up on the internet--we are Paddock Imports. We predominantly work on German cars, with a special interest in BMW, Porsche, and Audi. This Quattro has been under our care since 2007, when the second owner bought it. Roger was a meticulous owner, and attended to everything we ever recommended on this car. He brought this car to us twice yearly and let us know that it was an "open credit card" situation. As such, we took meticulous care of his beloved Quattro. The mileage on this car is low because Roger also owns a Porsche, an E39 BMW M5, and a Ford F250. This Quattro was a little hobby car for him, and as such, it got driven sparingly. Eight months ago, Roger told me he was selling the car to make room for a collector Saab he bought. After I got over the shock of him buying a Swedish car (better him than me) I jumped on the opportunity to buy this Audi for my son. Caleb turned 16 last year and I had been looking for a reliable car for him to drive to school and hockey. I therefore bought the car and went through every single nook and cranny to make it mechanically perfect. Heres the list of what we did to it 8 months ago: timing belt, spark plugs, distributor cap, distributor rotor, drive belt, timing belt roller, water pump, water pump seal, brake master cylinder, brake proportioning valve, expansion tank, expansion tank cap, camshaft seal, drive belt, coolant antifreeze, new door handles, all new fluids, and new battery. Parts alone (I did the labor myself) totaled almost $2000. Suffice it to say, the mechanical condition of the car is virtually flawless. I would get in this car and drive it to Connecticut tomorrow. The only reason we are selling it is that Caleb has to drive himself and two of his teammates from school to hockey, and quite honestly, the car isn't big enough for these boys and their gear…not even close. We therefore bought Caleb a BMW 528 wagon. So the Audi goes to the next steward. Here are some bullet notes: Mechanical: Absolutely flawless--it doesn't leak a drop of anything. not a single spec. starts in the bitter cold and runs flawlessly. Glass: perfect--not a scratch or chip in any of the original Audi glass. Clutch: plenty of life left in it--engages low and has great feel. Body: not a single spec of rust anywhere on this car. It has been a Colorado car it's whole life and we do not use salt here--hence no corrosion. The paint has tiny chips here and there commensurate with its age, but you have to look hard to find them. I drive a brand new BMW M5 and this car honestly gets more thumbs up. Interior: Indistinguishable from new!! The dash is perfect with no warping or cracks, the old school felt seats are perfect with no tears, the seats are firm and supportive, the door cards look new, the headliner is perfect, and the original floor mats still look amazing!! Interior is by far and away the most amazing part of the car---a true time capsule. Tires: 85% and balanced perfectly…I know because I did it myself. Electrical: absolutely everything works--even the sunroof. the passenger front window is going up and down slowly, but I will attend to that before the auction closes. Heat: blows very warm and strong Radio: my son had me install an Alpine deck with Pandora and iPod hookups. I also installed Fosgate speakers for him. Sounds really nice. I am sure I forgot many things, so if you have questions, please feel free to call me on my cell phone. Doug Paddock at 303-807-1863. Bottom line, you are bidding on a super low mileage, pedigreed Audi, that looks and runs perfectly. It will give some lucky buyer years of faithful service. I am positive that I will never get all they money out of it that I put into it, but you know the old saying: One man's dream…another man's bargain. My family now officially has 4 cars and a 3 car garage, so the Audi is now at my shop. I am therefore selling the car at NO RESERVE. That's right. High bid takes her home. I will be happy to help with shipping arrangements. On Dec-15-13 at 05:51:54 PST, seller added the following information: The old girl made Bring a Trailer! I enjoyed all of the comments, most of which were spot on. --Doug On Dec-16-13 at 17:09:16 PST, seller added the following information: Ok fellas-- I was bored today at the shop, so the Quattro got a 12 hour detail!! I washed it with Chemical Guys citrus wash, clay barred it with Griot's speedshine and clay (two hours work), polished with Menzerna power gloss (first pass) and fine finish (2nd pass), and then waxed it with Wolfgang carnuba. The result is a flawless Audi Quattro with no spider webs, holograms, or orange peel. Check out the final pictures--Ebay would only let me upload two more pictures so I picked a few on my phone. She is ready for your garage on X-mas. Good luck and happy bidding! Doug
