I am selling my beautiful Audi. I have cared for this care extensively and have done any and all repairs to it that these cars are known to need. I have kept this car in great condition inside and out. While I can safely say that it is in great condition, I cannot say it is in excellent condition because it does have some small chips and some scratches as any car of this age and mileage has. The only noticeable scratches I want to point out are those on some of the wheels that I assume the original owner did by brushing against curbs while parking. I have had the wheels checked for straightness and all but one of them are fine. The one with the slight bend is on the spare tire in the trunk and is definitely runnable. The interior is complete and everything functions just like it did when it was new. Please note, however, that a few buttons on the climate control and the headlight switch do have some minute scratches from use. They do not look bad, though. The leather, headliner, carpet and floor mats are all in great condition. The current Kelly Blue Book value of this car is $13,585. The A6 is in great condition. It is silver with black leather interior. It has 94,800 miles on it currently at the time of this posting (these will change as this is my daily driver). Everything functions on this car. Here is a list of the features this car has... -2.7T Twin turbo engine - Tiptronic 5 Speed Automatic Transmission - Quattro All Wheel Drive - ESP Active Traction Control - Power Front Seats Both - Cold Climate Package (heated seats front and back) - Factory Rear Sun Shades - Tinted Windows ( 35% all sides/20% back window) - Michilin OEM tires (75% tread life) - Front & Rear side airbags - Xenon headlights (self leveling) - In-dash 6 disc changer -Sirius Satellite radio (OEM) - Bose Speaker system - On Star Package - Sun Roof - OEM Fog Lights - 17" OEM Alloy Wheels - Trunk Spoiler - Power/Heated mirrors - Self Dimming Rear View mirror - High pressure Headlight washers - Power Windows and locks - Keless Entry (2 remotes) *To anyone who is interested in purchasing an Audi such as this one, take a few moments to browse forums on the internet to find out what some of the problems these cars are known to have, as all cars have their common fail items. Here is a list of everything I could find and what all I have done to address such issues. What you should ask yourself is if any other car you are looking at like this one has had all the common fail items replaced/repaired and done so with OE parts. These repairs could quickly add up to $10,000+ if done as they failed. Please know that the parts that were put on this car were of OE specification and not high performance parts like I see so many other cars have. I have kept all the maintenance and repair records since I have owned the car. They will go with the car as proof of care. - Torque Converter Failure. This car did suffer from this failure. I had the torque converter replaced by the professionals (not by some guy in his garage). This was done just a few thousand miles ago. The new torque converter is the updated style but function at OEM spec. This is not some racing spec part. This part is a factory replacement part. - Turbo Failure. Turbos commonly fail around the 100,00 mile mark of a gasoline powered car. Both turbos on this car were replaced while the engine and transmission were removed to install the toque converter. I really did not want to spend this extra money (to the tune of $1600) but I also was aware that replacing the turbos alone takes 22 hours from start to finish if the engine is in the car, and, the original turbos were beginning to leak oil into the intake tubes. The new turbos are warrantied. The new turbos are built to the stock K03 specification. They are not racing parts. - Spider Hose (PCV Hose) plugs up/breaks. The PCV hose on the 2.7T engine is known to plug up with engine oil deposits which in turn blocks the crank case vents and then causes other gaskets and seals to fail. The hose also gets very brittle and cracks or breaks. This hose was not clogged on this engine, but it was brittle and it did break when the engine was removed to replace the torque converter. The hose was replaced with a new one. - Valve Cover gaskets and seals get brittle and leak. This car did suffer from leaky valve cover gaskets and seals. They were all replaced (on both sides) while the engine was removed for the torque converter replacement. While the covers where off, the valve seals were checked (good!) and the came chain was inspected for wear (good!). - Timing belt replacement at 80k miles. This job alone can be very expensive. The timing belt was replaced while the engine was removed for replacement of the torque converter. The front crank seal was replaced while the belt was removed. The hydraulic tensioner for the timing belt, which is a common wear item, was replaced as well at this point. - Water Pump failure. The water pump was replaced on this engine along with the thermostat. This job was done while the timing belt was off. A OEM thermostat was installed that was set at factory temp. The complete coolant system was flushed for this job. The radiator pressure checked good and had no signs of leaks at the end tanks. The system was filled with the OEM Audi coolant. Audi says this is necessary to protect the gaskets and seals of the system and parts. - Starter. The starter was removed and rebuilt whith OEM parts while the engine was out to replace the torque converter. The starter worked fine, but I felt that this wast the opportune time to get it done while everything else was apart. It did have some wear, so I am glad I did it. - Alternator. The alternator was replaced with a new OEM one. This is the original Audi alternator, not some generic one. It was rediculously expensive compared to what I was expecting. I originally thought I would have the alternator inspected while the engine was removed for the replacement of the torque converter. I am very glad I did. first, this is a big job to do if the engine is in the car. Second, the rectifiers in the alternator were still working, but they were cracked and would surely have failed soon. So, I replaced it with an Audi alternator. I did not go the cheap route because I know from experience that the local autoparts store alternators have a high failure rate and I do not want to have to pay someone to replace this alternator again just because I tried to save a few bucks initially. - Throttle Body. The throttle bodies on these engines are known to get carboned up and cause running issues. This throttle body was proffessionally dissasembled and cleaned up and checked to be in specification. - A/C Compressor. The A/C compressor was faulty on this car when I purchased it. It was locked up. I installed a new one, not a remanufactured one. I had the complete system flushed and a new receiver dryer and orifice installed to complete the job. The system is very cold and had no leaks and makes no noises. - CV Axles. I replaced both CV axles with brand new ones. These are not remanufactured units. They are brand new with a full warranty. I replaced these because I felt that they would need done soon since the car was coming up on 100k miles and I had the old ones out during the replacement of the torque converter. - Tie Rod Ends. These are a common wear item on these C5 body A6. I had them replaced while the car was apart because I was aware of their high failure rate. The new parts are genuine German parts, not cheap ones from the local auto parts store. The car did get a full four wheel alignment after the car was finally reassembled from the replacement of the torque converter. - Ignition Coils. All six ignition coil packs were replaced on this car. These were all replaced by Audi as a factory recall. This was done when the car had around 82k miles on it. Please take a few moments to look over the pictures. I can provide more pictures upon request. Just let me know what you would like to see a picture of. I also want to make sure you are aware that there is a CARFAX accident history on this vehicle. It was in a small front end collision that was not structural and did not render it undriveable. The damage was repaired at a bodyshop and the proper new parts were used. There is nothing left that needs repaired from the accident. It was brought back to 100%. Please be aware of this. The car does have a current Pennsylvania state inspection sticker on it. * I would like to mention that while I do ensure that everything I have mentioned has been done (and I can back up with paperwork), I cannot offer a warranty on this car. I am an individual and not a dealership. I do, however, feel safe in saying that you will be hard pressed to find any dealership anywhere that will deliver a car for sale that is as cosmetically AND mechanically sound as this car is. Also, a non refundable deposit of $500.00 dollars must be made via Paypal within 24 hours of the auction ending date and time. All bidders with negative feedback or no feedback must contact me first before bidding to receive specific authorization to bid. *To those who it matters to...The Air Force Plate and License frame do NOT go with the car! On Apr-19-11 at 13:17:56 PDT, seller added the following information: To those who are interested... I have just uploaded 4 more pictures as per the request of one interested bidder. I took several detailed pictures of the engine with the engine covers removed. I also took a picture of the exposed under carriage. I hope this helps! -Jon
