Audi Club Auction Watch: 06.05.2025
Words: Steve Johnson
Hello again Audi aficionados! Thank you for clicking on another edition of Auction Watch where we’ve done the internet searching for you. We’ve checked multiple car auction sites looking for Audi models worthy of your bids. Typically each Thursday we post those listings calling out a car’s highlights and include a few pictures and a link to the listing. Our goal is to help you find the Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
This week’s listings get off to a fast start with four that end today including a 1 of 25 R8 V10 plus Coupe Exclusive Edition whose start in ownership life left it branded. Also in the limited edition club is #30 of 333, a 2012 R8 GT Spyder with only 7,000 miles. There are eight 4-series cars from multiple generations and each of them has a story to tell about their mods, their travels, etc. If you’re a fan of the B8.5 RS 5 there is a coupe (just below) and a low-mileage cabriolet to choose from. My picks of the week involve the colors Nogaro Blue and Samoa Orange. Naturally, there’s also a Mark I TT, joined by an S5 Cabriolet, a B9 RS 5 Coupe, an S6, a Q7, and an S8 plus to round out this week’s 20 offerings. Please check them all out below and thanks for reading!
2013 Audi RS 5 Coupe (28,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.05.2025 3:17 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends mid-PM today! This Ibis White coupe was purchased by the seller off BaT in May 2022 for $52k when it only had 8k miles on the clock. Since then it has been fitted with Bilstein B8 Performance Plus shocks and replacement upper control arm bushings. The black interior has leather/Alcantara seats, carbon fiber trim, an Audi Navigation Plus package, and B&O sound. The N/A 4.2L V8, Audi rated at 450HP/317 lb-ft, had its ECU “upgraded” in February 2025 and connects to a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports two owners and no accidents or damage but the seller states the rear bumper cover was replaced after the car was backed into a wall under current ownership and there are paint chips on the front end.
2016 Audi S6 (91,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.05.2025 3:54 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends late-mid-PM today! The combo of Daytona Gray pearl with Black Optics over an interior with an Arras Red Audi Design Selection package looks great. Please read the listing for what’s in that package, but wait, there’s more. The car is also equipped with S Sport, Cold Weather, and Driver Assistance packages. The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (450HP/406 lb-ft) now fires with Audi Club North America sponsor APR’s ignition coils and drives a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports four owners and unspecified damage to the undercarriage in August 2018. The Lemon Squad inspection report notes “the underside cover at the front is hanging”.
2017 Audi R8 V10 plus Coupe (18,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.05.2025 4:27 PM EDT
Bid cautiously and quickly, auction ends late-PM today! This is the second one of these 1 of 25 Exclusive Editions we’ve seen on Auction Watch. But this one is tainted by a branded title. I typically don’t include cars in this situation but this one has an explanation and documentation (see photo #91). Check with your insurance company to ensure they will cover this car before bidding. Exterior highlights: Quantum Gray with Glut Orange stripes on the B-pillar trim, Carbon Sigma side blades, carbon fiber rear wing, front splitter, and mirror caps. Interior highlights: black/Signal Orange leather seats, Carbon Sigma matte trim, an Alcantara headliner, Audi MMI navigation, and B&O sound. In plus spec the 5.2L V10 is Audi rated at 610HP/413 lb-ft and pairs with a 7-speed S tronic.
2006 Audi S4 Avant (134,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.05.2025 6:02 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends early evening today! No Reserve. This B7 generation long roof is painted Dolphin Gray metallic. The Ebony interior has leather Recaro front seats, wood trim, an Alpine infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, and Bose sound. Please read the listing for the many items serviced/replaced over the past 5 years. The 4.2L 40V V8, factory rated at 340HP/302 lb-ft, connects to a 6-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports six owners and minor damage to the rear and left rear in January 2016 and minor damage to the left front in November 2020.
2019 Audi S4 (36,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.06.2025 1:42 PM EDT
This color is the desirable Nogaro Blue and it’s on a sedan loaded with Prestige, S Sport, Black Optic, and Cold Weather packages. But wait, there’s much more, its loaded with Integrated Engineering, 034Motorsport, and other maker’s aftermarket parts. Please read the listing for the many details. The highlight is the Stage 3 tunes for the turbocharged 3.0L V6 and the 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports three previous owners, an open recall, #74E3 for the Passenger Occupant Detection System, and minor damage to the front in October 2023 but no further details. The seller states that the front bumper was hit in a parking lot (see photo #85).
2021 Audi A4 Allroad (64,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.06.2025 2:14 PM EDT
This Mythos Black metallic, Premium Plus trim-level long roof has gotten around America during its ownership. The black interior has leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, and B&O sound. The turbocharged 2.0L I4 (252HP/273 lb-ft) pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports two previous owners, an open recall, #91DZ, for the Rearview Camera Software, and no accidents/damage. But the selling dealer notes that the front bumper was repainted.
2001 Audi S4 (177,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.06.2025 2:53 PM EDT
No Reserve. This B5 gen sedan is part show-off but mostly ready for some track time due to the numerous mods. Think stage 2 and 3 for engine and transmission mods, respectively, for a start. I’ll let you read the listing to decide if it’s for you. Carfax reports two accidents resulting in damage but the potential odometer rollback looks very much like a clerical error.
2003 Audi TT Coupe (44,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.06.2025 3:03 PM EDT
No Reserve. This Dolomite Gray pearl coupe hasn’t done very many miles since 2018 (per the Carfax). The Ebony interior has Nappa leather seats and an Audi Concert CD stereo with Bose sound. Sadly, the center display has more dead pixels than live. The selling dealer tells us that front stabilizer links have been replaced (May 2025) and the Carfax shows the axles were repaired/replaced in August 2023. The 1.8L I4 (180HP/173 lb-ft) sends its power to a 6-speed automatic. Carfax reports only two owners and no accidents or damage. It looks like the tires have 2015 date codes.
2008 Audi S4 Avant (132,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.06.2025 3:46 PM EDT
I did a double-take when I saw this car, a second Dolphin Gray B7 long roof. It’s two years newer than the one above but has almost the same mileage. The chassis is modified with 19” BBS CH-R wheels, H&R lowering springs, front and rear sway bars, and a Thor aluminum skid plate. The interior differs with silver Silk Nappa leather seats and Carbon Atlas inlays. And Carfax reports it’s had three more owners (nine!) but only one report of minor damage to the front in June 2016. The drivetrain is the same but this one’s 4.2L V8 had significant service in October 2023. Read both listings and make your pick!
2014 Audi R8 Coupe (17,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.06.2025 4:14 PM EDT
Samoa Orange over black is a great color combo. The exterior has carbon Sigma side blades and the interior has matching carbon Sigma inlays to go with its Convenience and Full Fine Nappa Leather packages and B&O sound. Mod are limited to an F1-style brake light and an aftermarket exhaust. The 4.2L V8 is Audi rated at 430HP/317 lb-ft and pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic. A Carismo Sport steering wheel with airbag and INVERY Bluetooth audio adapter come with the car. The Carfax is clean but it does have 2017 date coded tires.
2014 Audi R8 Spyder (41,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.06.2025 4:27 PM EDT
I actually saw this car when it was for sale at Tysinger Audi, now Audi Hampton in VA. Since then it’s traveled far and wide with its seven owners. The exterior is Phantom Black pearl with a black soft top. The interior has contrasting red leather seats and door panel trim, carbon Sigma inlays, a back-up camera, and an infotainment system with Audi navigation. The 4.2L V8, factory rated at 430HP/317 lb-ft, connects to a 7-speed S tronic. The Carfax report is still clean too.
2007 Audi RS 4 (92,000 Miles**)
Bring a Trailer – 06.07.2025 2:50 PM EDT
This Daytona Gray pearl fast sedan had a heart transplant (an OEM 4.2L V8) about 20k miles** ago done by the surgeons at Rusnak/Westlake Audi (see photos 133-135). The black interior has Nappa leather Recaro front seats, a Premium Package, an aftermarket flat-bottom steering wheel, heated rear seats, a JHM short-throw shifter, Memphis Audio sound, and a Sony infotainment screen with smartphone integration and a rearview camera. The chassis has Ohlins coilovers, a Brembo big brake kit, and 19″ HRE wheels. Please read the listing for more details/ mods. Carfax reports minor damage in October 2021, the seller states its due to a professional repaint of the rear bumper. If interested, ask the seller about the sagging headliner in photos 102 and 103 which isn’t mentioned in the write-up.
2014 Audi RS 5 Cabriolet (8,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.08.2025 1:58 PM EDT
The Daytona Gray pearl paint is covered by a white vinyl wrap applied in November 2022; the soft top is black and it has a Black Optic package. The black interior has Nappa leather seats, carbon fiber trim, Audi MMI Navigation plus and Driver Assistance packages, and B&O sound. It also has a “plug and play” wireless car play adapted installed behind the factory screen so you can wirelessly use Apple CarPlay (see listing’s comments). The N/A 4.2L V8, Audi rated at 450HP/317 lb-ft, exhales into an optional Sport exhaust and powers a 7-speed S tronic. The clean Carfax reports just two owners.
2017 Audi Q7 (97,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.08.2025 2:46 PM EDT
No Reserve. This Prestige trim-level SUV has something I’ve never seen before, three rows of Cedar Brown Valcona leather seats. The fronts seats are heated, ventilated, and massaging, the headliner is black Alcantara, and there’s Bose sound. The supercharged 3.0L V6 (333HP/325 lb-ft) bolts to an 8-speed Tiptronic in this installation. Carfax reports minor damage in July 2021 but no further details, also an accident with another motor vehicle in March 2024 but no damage. A warning light related to the fog lamps is noted in the listing.
2001 Audi S4 (122,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.09.2025 1:34 PM EDT
No Reserve. Another Nogaro Blue pearl S4 but a B5 generation that is unmodified. How rare is that? The interior has silver leather seats, wood trim, and an Audi Symphony stereo with Bose sound. With age you expect some flaws, please read the listings Known Flaws section for details. The 2.7L twin-turbo V6, rated at 250HP/258 lb-ft when new, connects to a 5-speed automatic. Carfax reports only three owners, the first long-term, an open recall #69CJ for the Driver Front Airbag Inflator, but no accidents/damage.

There’s also a report of minor damage in January 2025 with no further details.
