Attention mechanics, Audi lovers, dreamers, grease monkeys, artisans, miscreants! Selling my BEAUTIFUL (NOT RUNNING) 2005.5 Audi S4. I would prefer NOT TO but have a couple things standing in my way: 1.) It needs work and I don't have the time to do it. 2.) Wife says no "project" cars for daddy. Initially, I'd purchased this car from Windy City Motorsports in Lombard, IL. Their ad said there might be a timing chain/tensioner issue. I brought it out West, had a go and my super-mechanic buddy found that a timing chain had given out and that I was looking at a bent valve I think. So we could either wrench on it OR swap if for a $4k to $5k engine. Which is fine by me, it's an awesome (originally almost $50k), car that I'd be HAPPY to work on and get back on the road. My wife, however, differs with me on this point. Also, I was JUST offered a new job that will have me away from home more often. Soooo.... Here it is: *Ext / Int Color Brilliant Black with Ebony Full Leather Interior *Luxury Features Air Conditioning Climate Control System Dual Zone Electronic Climate Control System Telescoping Steering Wheel Homelink System Steering Wheel Radio Controls Digital Information Center Cruise Control Moon roof Sunroof Tilt Steering Wheel Clock Tachometer Heated Seat Tinted Windows *Power Equipment Power Steering Power Windows Power Locks Power Mirrors Power Driver's Seat Power Passenger Seat Memory Seat Position *Safety Features Security System Key-less Entry Anti-Lock Brakes Traction Control System Driver's Air Bag Passenger Air Bag Side Air Bags Fog Lights Intermittent Wipers Dynamic Stability Control All-Wheel Drive Rear Defogger *Interior Wood Trim Leather Steering Wheel Leather Gear Shifter Audio / Video Bose System AM/FM CD Player CD Changer MP3 Navigation System Premium Sound Satellite Radio Separate Tweeters *Additional Features 12v Power Outlet Adaptive headlights Body Side Moldings Center Arm Rest Center Console Child Proof Door Locks Chrome Exhaust Tips Compass And Temperature Display Cup Holders Daytime Running Lights Front Heated Seats Head-Protection System Heated Mirrors HID Headlamps Luxury Seats Premium Alloy Wheels Rear Fog Lamps Remote Trunk Lid Front AND Rear RECARO Sport Seats Vanity Mirrors Xenon ***Copy and paste this link for original Windy City Motorsports ad and 70+ pictures: (EBAY won't allow a link here: you can check out the original ad at the "Windy City Motorsports" - in Lombard, IL- website...SORRY!) The car is beautiful. It got dusty in transit. I've washed, parked and covered it. I have some video of the car when it first arrived and some pix too. I'll try to figure out how to transfer the pix from my video camera to the computer but for now I have the pix you see here. ALSO There are a few scratches on those pretty black wheels (made by shipper). Not too bad and it's Plasti Dip which can be easily covered or peeled and re-applied, a SUPER easy fix. I'll work on getting some pix up. The front, right tire was flat, I replaced it with a new one. I THINK that's everything. A lovely 05.5 Audi S4 in need of some TLC from the right person. Email Christo anytime... Cheers! ***MAKE AN OFFER!*** The worst thing that can happen is I say no. ***MAKE AN OFFER!*** ***P.S.*** As a footnote to those who are unfamiliar. THEY ALL BREAK. No matter how well a person claims to have maintained their AUDI, they ALL have timing chain and timing belt issues. The best thing to look for when purchasing a used Audi (if you don't want to be working on it yourself), is to find someone who's had the timing belts OR chains changed/examined/maintained approximately every 80k miles. Tensioners, Ternsioner Guides...all need to be INTENTIONALLY managed in order for an Audi (engine), to have a long, happy life. Otherwise, you buy the car, it's running, then, BLAMO...it stops and you've just bought yourself an EXPENSIVE fixer (which was probably not your intension). This one here...an IN-expensive fixer ready for the right home. ***All offers considered. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY HUNTING!
