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....

(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!

Audi gets into tablet market with Android-powered Smart Display

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Relatively small in newsworthiness compared with laser-equipped hybrids and all-new cockpit concepts, Audi has also announced a branded, Android-powered tablet called Smart Display at CES this week.
Audi has partnered with Google for its in-car computing software for years now, so it's hardly surprising to hear that its first foray into the world of tablets runs a Google OS (which one is still unclear), and has Android guts. Sorry, iPad users. The 10.2-inch tablet wears a lovely aluminum chassis that seems right in line with Audi's typical industrial design, and is packed with Nvidia's Tegra T40 processor.
Smart Display is meant to highlight the upcoming cleverness of Audi's newly announced in-car LTE connectivity (by way of continued partnership with AT&T). Users can, in theory, access the Google Play store while on the go, and then download and fiddle with Android-based apps until their very hearts are content. By "users" we mean "passengers" here, and so does Audi, though we're not exactly sure if there are measures in place to keep a driver from tableting while driving.

Audi celebrates 500k TT models with new TTS Competition

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

The stylish Audi TT first debuted in 1998, and while we've only seen two generations of the car over the course of 15 years, some 500,000 examples have been sold. To mark the occasion, Audi has created this special TTS Competition model, available as either a coupe or a roadster and limited to just 500 units.
Competition models are set apart from the rest of the TTS range by their unique paint colors - Imola Yellow and Nimbus Gray. Additionally, the limited-run TTS wears new five-spoke, 19-inch alloy wheels and features a fixed rear wing (like the one on the TT RS).
Leather upholstery is found inside the cabin, done up in steel gray with yellow accents. Of course, there are special numbered plaques on the door trims, simply saying "1 of 500."

Audi pits S3 against Ur-Quattro on gravel

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

If you had to pick a winner between the latest Audi S3 and the original Audi Sport Quattro, which would it be? Both hot hatches pack around 300 horsepower and all-wheel drive, but they're separated by a good thirty years of development.
To find out, Audi took both to the old rally circuit in San Remo. Behind the wheel of the Ur-Quattro they put none other than The Stig himself - no, not the Top Gear test bot, but Stig Blomqvist, the Swedish former rally driver who drove the Quattro to the World Rally Championship in the mid-80s. In the S3 they put someone named Hermann Müller, who as best we can tell was one of Auto Union's original Silver Arrow drivers - but he died in 1975, so it's probably the guy who writes for the Audi magazine. Regardless, the contest was pretty close, so it's worth checking out in the 2:26 video clip below.
