2008 Audi A3 2.0t Ibis White Premium Package on 2040-cars

Year:2008 Mileage:61500
Location:

United States

United States

This has been my wife’s car (she is a VERY conservative driver) and is driven very little; we moved her into a larger vehicle (2001 Sequoia) since we had out little girl and I have been wanting her to drive a giant SUV - yes, I'm a little over protective - so we are selling the Audi, which we have loved very much. We have had the vehicle for 3 years and have put less than 10,000 per year on the car, and it has been maintained and cared for very well. The transmission and drivetrain are is excellent condition. I have pushed the car to it's limits ONCE just to see how it performs and I was very very impressed. Other than my ONE speed test, the vehicle has been driven very conservatively and gently (again, this has been my wife's car and she is a MUCH more conservative driver than the average man). This car is GARAGE KEPT and has been out of the sun and elements. This A3 is priced well below both Kelley Blue Book and ­­­­NADA value.  This has always been a non-smoking vehicle. The "new leather" smell is actually still present when you sit in the car! We have diligently cleaned and cared for this vehicle and believe the next owner will be very very happy with the condition. 

This vehicle is being sold AS IS; please contact me to ask any and all questions BEFORE you purchase. I will provide you with ALL the information I have.

Please note, I have already received several inquiries, and the pricing/reserve is firm.  You will not find ANY other A3’s for lower than this price at this year (2008) with this few miles (under 65k). This vehicle is very reasonably priced. There will be no owner financing or installment plans. The reserve is FIRM; we do have an offer on the vehicle already and can sell it at a price we are happy with, but we want to put it up for auction to see if the national market would be a little better than the local Texas market. 

The Deposit ($500.00) is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction, and the Balance (Final Payment) is due in full within 72 hours of the end of the auction and after the deposit is collected (deposit is counted toward final price of the vehicle). Payment (cashier’s check or cash in person) must CLEAR before releasing vehicle/title.  

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK UP/SHIPPING. I will certainly assist however I can with any shipping accommodations, but will ultimately rely on the buyer to be responsible for shipping. I cannot be responsible in any way for claims arising from shipping damage - all shipping arrangements are made via 3rd Party Licensed Broker. These brokers can be found online or through ebay resources.

Out of state buyers are responsible for all state, county, city taxes and fees, as well as title service fees in the state that the vehicle will be registered. Again, I can assist as much is reasonably needed with information, but these taxes and fees are solely the buyer's responsibility.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.

Audi revising own history in light of 'shocking' study of Nazi-era activities

Fri, 30 May 2014

Daimler opened up its archives for research into its Nazi affiliations for one book published in 1990 and another in 1998. The Quandt family behind BMW had its public catharsis in 2007. The ties between the National Socialists and the Porsche and Piech families have almost rendered the Volkswagen Beetle some kind of cult tchotchke of the Third Reich. And it's not just automakers called in for cleansing: Deutsche Bank credit helped build Auschwitz, Hugo Boss made Nazi uniforms, patriarch of food and frozen pizza giant Dr. Oetker volunteered for the Waffen-SS. As one historian said, for any business that wanted to stay in business during the war, "no company was really clean. Everyone had to resort to slave labor when their own workers were fighting at the front."
Audi is the latest to go public with findings from an in-depth study of the Nazi-affiliated past of Auto Union, its predecessor company, and the "Father of Auto Union" Dr. Richard Bruhn, the man who headed it pre- and post-war. Commissioned by Audi, written by Audi's history department head Martin Kukowski and University of Chemnitz historian Rudolf Boch, its findings are just as severe as those already heard so often over the past 20 years. Among other discoveries, the study found that not only did Brun manage the use of more than 3,700 forced labor camp workers from seven SS-run camps, 16,500 forced laborers that didn't live in camps worked in two more factories; Bruhn wanted even more laborers but couldn't get them because of the battlefield situation; and that Auto Union had "moral responsibility" for roughly 4,500 workers killed at the Flossenbürg concentration camp. The study found that disabled workers were routinely sent to the camp and executed there.
Audi works council head Peter Mosch said, "I'm very shocked by the scale of the involvement of the former Auto Union leadership in the system of forced and slave labor. I was not aware of the extent." The company is figuring out how it will respond to the findings, so far working on changing the online profile of Dr. Bruhn on its history pages on Audi sites around the world, and considering stripping Brun's name from the street that bears it and from company offerings like pension plans. If you can read German or can work Google Translate, Wirtschaftswoche has a long piece on the study and its conclusions.

Audi TT Sportback Concept evolves the five-door breed

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

One week after a leaked sketch ran on these very pages, Audi has introduced the latest member of a "potential TT family," according to Audi board member Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg. This is the TT Sportback Concept, a five-door, 400-horsepower version of the brand's stylish sports car and at this point, it looks darn likely to herald the debut of a third body style for Audi's design icon.
Unveiled at the expansive Volkswagen group night celebration ahead of the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the TT Sportback Concept is the most evolved version of a form factor that's seen a slow striptease throughout 2014, first with the Allroad Shooting Brake Concept in Detroit and, more recently, in the Offroad Concept from the Beijing Motor Show.
For Paris, the car being shown by Audi is absent traditional concept car traits like oversized wheels, miniscule mirrors and bizarre interior treatments, giving it a far more production ready appearance than either of the previous TT-based concepts. The exterior, meanwhile, is clearly reminiscent of the third-generation car (that roofline is pure TT), although there are a number of styling decisions that remind us of the compact A3, particularly in regards to the taillights.
