Audi Club Auction Watch: 03.05.2026
Words: Steve Johnson
Hello again Audi aficionados! Thank you for reading another Auction Watch where we’ve done the internet searching for you. We’ve checked multiple online 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 that certain Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
Again this week there are five listings to consider quickly as their auctions end early today. The first two have Audi’s biggest engines: a 2008 A8 L with the 6.0L W12 and a 2007 S8 with a 5.2L V10. The next three are a 2022 A6 Allroad, a high-mileage 2008 RS 4, and a 2019 Q7. Not as urgent are this week’s colorful cars. Pictured above is an Audi Exclusive Aventurine Orange Mica R8 that took Best of Show at the Gilmore Car Museum’s DeutscheMarques German car show. Then there’s Aerosmith’s drummer Joey Kramer’s Kyalami Green RS 3 also seen in yesterday’s Find of the Day. Next, how about a 2021 Turbo Blue S5 Sportback or a 2019 Ara Blue RS 3? Those colors really pop in the sunlight. The elder statesman this week is a Special Build 1987.5 Coupe GT that needs some TLC. My pick of the week is the first car I’ve called a custom in Auction Watch. It’s listed as a 2002 S6 Avant but it is so much more now, you really need to read the listing to appreciate the many hours that must have gone into this build. As for the rest of this week’s 13 listings, please skim through them all, there are more great cars to consider. As always, thanks for reading!
This week’s relists are:
This 2013 Q5 Hybrid had its listing withdrawn from BaT in late January 2026 to address concerns with the high-voltage battery pack and HVAC system. Both issues were addressed. It’s listed as white over black, has 123k miles, and is a Prestige trim-level SUV. Powertrain is a 2.0L I4 and 1.3-kWh lithium-ion battery pack factory rated at 245HP/354 lb-ft. This no reserve auction ends 03.06.2026 at 2:18 PM EST.
Here’s a 2010 S5 Cabriolet that last sold at auction in late January 2026. It’s Brilliant Black with a black top over black/Pearl Silver leather seats, has 37k miles, and is powered by a supercharged 3.0L V6 (333HP/325 lb-ft) with an 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports five previous owners, damage with no details in August 2015, and it has been looking for a good home since November 2024. This auction ends 03.06.2026 at 2:25 PM EST.
This 2001 TT Roadster last sold at auction in late December 2025. It’s Nimbus Gray with a black top over the Baseball Optic Amber Red leather seats and a wind deflector doesn’t fully roll down. The 180HP/173 lb-ft I4 had its timing belt and water pump replaced in February 2026. A 5-speed manual transfers the power to the front wheels only. There are 90k miles and the center display only has a few dead pixels. The clean Carfax says this was a one-owner car before dealer acquisition. This no reserve auction ends 03.10.2026 at 1:48 PM EDT.
Here’s a 2013 A4 Allroad that’s Glacier White over Titanium Gray/Black long. It last sold at auction in late July 2025 and hasn’t found a good home since. It has 130k miles, Prestige and Audi MMI Navigation Plus packages, and a 2.0L I4 (211HP/258 lb-ft) with an 8-speed Tiptronic. The clean Carfax reports two previous owners and the Service Due message is present. This no reserve auction ends 03.11.2026 at 1:46 PM EDT.
This 2013 S4 Premium Plus sold on C&B in late February 2026 for $8,703 but the winning bidder failed to follow through with the buy. It’s Ice Silver over black, has 181k miles, and the 3.0L supercharged V6 spins a 6-speed manual. The only notable mod is Audi Club sponsor Integrated Engineering’s cold air intake. This no reserve auction ends 03.11.2026 at 3:02 PM EDT.
2008 Audi A8 L W12 (19,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.05.2026 1:34 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this afternoon! This Audi flagship has the wow factor! 1. A Northern Blue pearl paint color that the pictures taken inside don’t do justice. 2. An interior featuring the Leather Appointment Upgrade package’s Amaretto ventilated and massaging seats and Alcantara headliner, gorgeous wood inlays and steering wheel, a personal refrigerator, and B&O Advanced sound. 3. The big 6.0L W12 under the hood that Audi rated at 450HP/428 lb-ft. It powers a 6-speed Tiptronic and was given a comprehensive service in April 2023. The clean Carfax report lists three owners but there may have only been two.
2007 Audi S8 (120,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.05.2026 2:10 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this afternoon! No Reserve. This is the sportier version of an Audi flagship and it’s also equipped with a big engine—the 5.2L V10 rated by Audi at 450HP/398 lb-ft in this installation. A 6-speed Tiptronic and quattro complete the drivetrain. The exterior is Daytona Gray pearl, the interior black with Valcona leather seats, brushed aluminum and carbon fiber trim, a black Alcantara headliner, and an aftermarket head unit with Bose Surround sound. Please read the listing’s Known Flaws section for a few items that reflect the years, mileage, and Canadian winters. Carfax reports no accidents/damage.
2022 Audi A6 Allroad (27,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.05.2026 2:18 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this afternoon! Here’s a loaded long roof that’s Glacier White metallic outside and Sarder Brown (a very dark brown) inside. It’s equipped with Prestige and Luxury packages, and the cladding is also painted body color, a $1,000 option. Click on the window sticker below for the details. The 3.0L turbocharged V6 (335HP/369 lb-ft) pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic; the chassis has air suspension and rolls on 20” Voxx Lago wheels. Carfax reports this is a one-owner vehicle with no accidents or damage.
2008 Audi RS 4 (181,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.05.2026 2:23 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this afternoon! This fast sedan may have the most mileage of any previous one we’ve had in Auction Watch. It has it’s pros though: a Black and Crimson Red leather Audi Exclusive interior, Premium and Titanium packages, a Jackal ECU tune, Zinram and Scorpion exhaust components, KW coilovers, and 034Motorsport sway bars. The current owner has done some good service work on the 4.2L V8 and other drivetrain components, see listing for all the mods and details. To top it off, the Daytona Gray pearl paint still shines. Carfax reports four previous owners and minor damage to the front in May 2019.
2019 Audi Q7 (94,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.05.2026 2:52 PM EST

It’s a Prestige trim-level vehicle with a supercharged 3.0L V6, factory rated at 329HP/325 lb-ft, under the hood. An 8-speed Tiptronic and quattro complete the drivetrain.

2021 Audi RS 6 Avant (22,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.06.2026 2:41 PM EST
Here’s an Audi Sport long roof in Sebring Black with Black Optics over an interior with contrasting Cognac seats and trim. Also inside are Executive and Driver Assistance packages and B&O 3D sound. The twin-turbo 4.0L V8 with 48-volt mild-hybrid system is factory rated at 591HP/590 lb-ft and powers an 8-speed Tiptronic.

There’s also a recall, #90VC, for the Virtual Cockpit Instrument Cluster. While it was listed the left rear quarter panel was damaged. See listing comments and photos 116-118.
2002 Audi S6 Avant Custom (147,000 Miles Shown)
Bring a Trailer – 03.06.2026 2:51 PM EST
I’m calling this build a custom and I’ll start with the drivetrain. The engine is from a 2003 RS 6 (twin-turbo 4.2L BCY V8) and it’s paired with a 6-speed 01E manual transaxle from a TDi and an 850 strapped twin-disc clutch kit from Ringer Racing. If you understand all that, you must read the listing. Ok, read the listing anyway because the list of mods is long and impressive. The Carfax is unimportant because this build looks great!
2017 Audi Q7 (76,500 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.06.2026 3:00 PM EST
No Reserve. This black looking SUV is Ink Blue metallic, see the close-ups for the blue hue. The black interior features Nougat Brown leather seats and door panel inserts, layered oak (I think) trim, an aftermarket dash cam, a surround-view camera, and Bose 3D Surround sound. The supercharged 3.0L V6 (333HP/325 lb-ft) pairs with an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports three previous owners, an accident in October 2016 with damage but no further details, and damage to the rear in May 2018 but no further details.
2021 Audi S5 Sportback (26,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.06.2026 3:10 PM EST
This Turbo Blue paint color really pops in the sunlight, the photos don’t do it justice. The exterior also has a Black Optic package and paint protection film and ceramic coating (see photo #89). It’s also equipped with Premium Plus and S Sport packages, black Nappa leather seats, carbon fiber trim, and front and rear dashcams. The car comes with a transferable warranty valid until January 2029 (see photo #88). The 3.0 turbocharged V6, Audi rated at 349HP/369 lb-ft, bolts to an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports two previous owners and no accidents/damage.
2025 Audi RS 3 (800 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.06.2026 3:42 PM EST
This car is a rock star, by association, because its owner is Aerosmith’s drummer Joey Kramer. A set of Joey Kramer-signed drumsticks come with the car. The colors are Kyalami Green outside, black inside with an RS Design package in Micrommata Green that adds green stitching to the leather seats. The brake calipers were painted to match the exterior. It’s also equipped with Carbon and RS Technology packages, and a black roof. The 2.5L I5 is Audi rated at 401HP/369 lb-ft, exhales into a Sport exhaust, and drives a 7-speed S tronic with the new high-tech rear differential. Of course the Carfax report is clean.
2016 Audi S6 (72,500 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.07.2026 2:22 PM EST
Here’s an Ibis White full-size sportster that has an Arras Red Audi Design selection interior and a black Alcantara headliner. The listing’s photos do not do this interior justice. The Prestige package adds loads of goodies inside and the S6 Sport package aids handling with dynamic steering and a Sport rear diff. To make it even better, the 4.0L twin-turbo and 7-speed S tronic now run Audi Club sponsor APR’s Stage 1 ECU and TCU tunes. Carfax reports one-owner and no accidents/damage; however, the selling dealer states the coolant outlet flange will need to be replaced. Also, the check engine light is illuminated and a digital readout of the diagnostic trouble codes is in the listing photo #130. Per the listing’s comments it’s an O2 sensor issue.
2021 Audi RS 6 Avant (17,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.09.2026 1:25 PM EDT
The current owner bought this Nardo Gray long roof off BaT for $110k in February 2024. There’s a Carbon Optic package, full-body clear paint-protection film, and gold-finished 22″ ANRKY wheels on the outside with Executive and Driver Assistance packages, B&O 3D Advanced sound, and Carbon twill inlays for the black interior. Also a Sport exhaust for the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (591HP/590 lb-ft) and ceramic brakes to arrest all that power. A car cover and the OEM wheels come with the sale. Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents or damage, but the hood was repaired and repainted in 2023 to correct damage caused by a rock.
2012 Audi A4 Avant S Line (91,500 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.09.2026 2:14 PM EDT
No Reserve. The cool part about this Glacier White metallic over black long roof are the STaSIS Touring Edition Package mods, see the listing for details. The less-than-cool part is the wear and need of refreshment inherent with the age and mileage. Please read the listing’s Known Flaws section for details. The enhanced 2.0L I4 powers an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports no accidents but the seller states the front passenger side was repaired following a parking lot incident.
2020 Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe (16,000 Miles)
SBX Cars – 03.09.2026 2:30 PM EDT
The 5.2L V10 in Performance-spec is Audi rated at 602HP/413 lb-ft and it pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic. But fear not, there are ceramic-composite brakes to slow you down. The Audi halo car is also equipped with Extended Leather, Sport, and Full Carbon Fiber packages, dynamic steering and a carbon fiber front sway bar. That exterior color is Audi Exclusive Aventurine Orange Mica and the black interior has red-stitched seats, doors, and trim. The listing states this coupe won Best in Show at DeutscheMarques, the German car show held at the Gilmore Museum in Michigan. Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents/damage.
2015 Audi A8 L 3.0 (71,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.09.2026 2:36 PM EDT
No Reserve. Here’s a Monsoon Gray metallic Audi flagship equipped with the supercharged 3.0L V6 (333HP/325 lb-ft) that turns an 8-speed Tiptronic. The interior is listed as black (probably Anthracite) and has heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, wood trim, and a surround-view camera system. Carfax reports four previous owners and no accident/damage; however, the right-rear wheel arch has a small dent (see listing photo #54). The Carfax is also very thin on service history for the 43k miles after owner #2.
2013 Audi RS 5 Coupe (62,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.09.2026 2:38 PM EDT
This fast coupe isn’t white, it’s Suzuka Gray metallic with a Titanium package. The black interior has Nappa leather seats, trim, B&O sound, and a WeatherTech cargo mat in the trunk. The 4.2L V8, Audi rated at 450HP/317 lb-ft, has a service invoice note that states it misfires on cold starts and recommends an intake valve carbon cleaning. A 7-speed S tronic, sport diff, and quattro compete the drivetrain. Carfax reports minor damage in June 2021, minor damage in January 2022, and minor damage to the front in March 2023. The seller states that the driver’s window was smashed in 2021, that curb rash was repaired in 2022, and that the front bumper was replaced following a parking incident in 2023. And see the listing’s Known Flaws section for existing issues.
2024 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance Bronze edition (12,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.10.2026 1:51 PM EDT
Here’s one of the 75 Bronze Editions produced for the US market for MY24. It’s Sebring Black Crystal Effect over black. LLumar paint protection film and a ceramic coating cover the exterior. The interior has Executive and Drivers Assistance packages. In this spec, the twin-turbo 4.0L V8 is factory rated at 621HP/627 lb-ft, exhales into a sport exhaust, and turns an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports one-owner and no accidents/damage, however, the seller states it received bodywork in November 2025 as a result of damage from a tree branch. An invoice specifying the work performed is in the listing photos #209-213.
2019 Audi RS 3 (42,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 03.10.2026 3:06 PM EDT
This Ara Blue Crystal Effect fast sedan came from the factory with Technology, Driver Assistance, Dynamic, and Black Optic packages plus a red RS Design selection interior and Audi Sport carbon fiber inlays. Then it was enhanced with a host of Audi Club sponsor Unitronic’s parts to take it to a Stage 3 build. The 2.5L I5 also has an Iroz Motorsport IMS750HS turbocharger and the chassis has 034Motorsport kit. Please read the listing for all the details. Carfax reports minor damage to the front and left front in January 2023. The seller reports there was a low-speed parking garage incident and the front bumper and one headlight were replaced.
1987.5 Audi Coupe GT Special Build Project (211,000 Miles Shown)
Bring a Trailer – 03.10.2026 2:12 PM EDT
No Reserve. The listing’s title includes the word “project” and from the description you will need to bring a trailer if you win the bid. But we’ve seen far less complete project cars on Auction Watch. This is one of about 850 “Special Build” coupes for the U.S. market. It’s Black over an interior featuring Gray velour seats and door panel inserts, and a gray headliner. The main issue seems to be that the 2.3L I5 (130HP/140 lb-ft when new) doesn’t run properly, even though the selling dealer replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, it requires further injection system diagnosis and repair. Please read the listing for additional work required. This car is worth saving, a trip to 2Bennett Audimotive should do the trick.
