Words: Steve Johnson
Greetings and salutations Audi enthusiasts. Thank you for checking out 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. 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. Without further ado, here is this week’s listing overview.
Two weeks ago a 2019 TT Roadster 20th Anniversary Edition listed on cars & bids, bid to $35,090, but that didn’t meet the reserve. So the owner tried again using Pcarmarket this past week. That auction ended yesterday and the bidding went to $39,000 and the car sold. So it paid to try again.
Now, on to this week’s colorful listings. There’s an eye-popping Dragon Orange RS Q8, a Sepang Blue RS 7, and a stealthy Daytona Gray matte RS 7, all of whom have auctions ending today. The elder statesman this week is a significantly enhanced 1995.5, Tornado Red S6. My pick this week is the Ibis White 2011 S4 which, when you step on the loud pedal, you’d better be pointed in the direction you want to go. Please read that listing to see what I mean, then please check out the rest this week’s 14 listings to see what your pick would be. Thanks again for reading!

2023 Audi RS 7 (700 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.21.2024 2:59 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM! If a 2016 RS 7 is too dated for you, how about an essentially new one? This sportback was enhanced to the tune of about $70K. Please read listing for all the details on the look, the enhanced sound coming from the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 is courtesy of an Eventuri carbon-fiber air intake, an ECU modified with a RENNtech Power Module, and an Akrapovič exhaust. Of course the Carfax is clean.
2002 Audi S6 Avant (181,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 03.22.2024 2:19 PM EDT
No Reserve. A classic long roof with a surprise: gone is the automatic gearbox, a 6-speed manual now handles the power emanating from the 4.2L V8 that has an (unnamed) ECU tune. There are more mods too like those 18” Rota Rundfahren wheels, please read the listing for the details. The exterior is Brilliant Black, the interior black, and both have a few flaws noted. Carfax reports very minor damage to the rear in September 2016 and damage to the front following an accident with another vehicle in July 2004 after which it was sold as a CPO vehicle.
2003 Audi A4 Cabriolet (66,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.22.2024 2:28 PM EDT

2014 Audi A6 TDI (72,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 03.22.2024 3:50 PM EDT

2011 Audi S4 (85,000 Miles)

cars & bids – 03.25.2024 4:25 PM EDT
A lot of Nardo Gray paint covers this Sportback’s body. The options include Executive and Drivers Assistance packages, Carbon Twill inlays, B&O 3D Advanced sound, 22” wheels that cover red brake calipers, sport exhaust, and an Audi Guard Protection kit. Also in the roomy cabin are Cognac seats and trim bits. Under the hood lies a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that Audi rates at 591HP/590 lb ft and it pairs with an 8-speed Tiptronic. From reading the clean Carfax, I suspect the Sales staff drove this car before John Doe bought it as a CPO vehicle.
2005 Audi A4 STaSIS Competition Package (79,000 Miles)
Pcarmarket – 03.26.2024 2:00 PM EDT
The seller states this Brilliant Red is one of five 2005 A4s fitted with a STaSIS Competition Package, note the badge on the right rear. That package is very comprehensive, you really need to read the listing for all the details but the highlight is a claimed 380HP from the 2.0L I4, thanks to APR tuning who equipped this car to their Stage 3+ spec.) And I thought the S4 above was a racecar in disguise.) The black interior has leather seats, aluminum trim, an optional Bose stereo, and the Ultrasport Package adds a perforated leather 3-spoke steering wheel. Carfax reports no accidents or damage but you can see the car’s usage in the pictures of the undercarriage.
2007 Audi RS 4 (73,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 03.26.2024 4:03 PM EDT
Auction Watch wouldn’t be complete without an RS 4 and this one looks like a nice example. The exterior is Avus Silver pearl; the interior has white-piped black Nappa leather seats, carbon fiber trim, and a Premium package. The 4.2L V8 (420HP/317 lb-ft) is fitted with a JH Motorsports lightweight pulley and a 034Motorsport billet intake manifold arm. The 6-speed manual is held in place by a 034Motorsport Street Density mount. Please read the listing for additional mods and service.

cars & bids – 03.27.2024 2:12 PM EDT
The N/A 4.2L V8 (450HP/317 lb-ft) under the hood of this Daytona Gray pearl coupe had its timing chain and associated equipment replaced in January this year. It’s mated to a 7-speed S tronic and a Sport diff is standard. The black cabin features leather/Alcantara seats, carbon fiber trim, and an MMI Navigation Plus system. The only mod is tinted windows. Carfax reports minor damage to the rear in October 2018.
2022 Audi RS Q8 (42,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 03.27.2024 3:43 PM EDT
And speaking of eye-popping colors, I think an Audi Exclusive Java Green qualifies. The SUV is optioned with Carbon Optic, Black Optic, Luxury, Executive, and Towing packages; the Audi Exclusive brings Iguana Green stitching into the black cabin’s heated/ventilated RS sport front seats, etc. The drivetrain is a 4.0L twin-turbo V8, Audi rated at 591HP/590 lb-ft, an 8-speed Tiptronic and a Sport diff. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
