Audi Club Auction Watch: 05.14.2026
Words: Steve Johnson
Greetings Audi aficionados! Thank you for clicking on 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, include a few pictures, and a helpful link. Our goal is to help you find that certain Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
The first three new listings end today: a 2006 S4 Avant, a 2025 RS 6 Avant Performance, and a 2016 S4, so check them out fast. There are two elder statesmen this week that deserve a good look, The first is a 1985 quattro in Lhasa Metallic that is a bit of a restoration project and the second is a 1997 S6 Avant imported from Germany that also needs some TLC. There are also two hot SUVs to consider, an RS Q8 and an SQ5, both with low-mileage. Unique listings this week are a safari custom build of a Mk 2 TTS Coupe that’s still to be tested off-road and a two-piece luggage set tailor made by Audi to fit behind the seats of an R8. Please check out all 24 listings below, click on the smaller pictures for a better view, and as always thanks for reading!

2006 Audi S4 Avant (88,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.14.2026 2:00 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM! The tow hook should be your first clue that this long roof has some track-oriented tweaks. The mod list is very long so please read the listing for details. Looking at the many receipts in the listing’s gallery, a lot work was done in the 2012 timeframe. This is its third BaT listing and it last sold there in February 2021 for $24,500. The black paint on the front end shows the mileage/years and inside the black interior the Silk Nappa leather Recaro seats and carbon fiber inlays look good but the A/C isn’t cold. The car hasn’t been driven much in the past 5 years. Carfax reports five previous owners and no accidents/damage.
2025 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance (1,700 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.14.2026 3:00 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends mid-PM today! This halo long roof is essentially new and the second bid was $110k. The Glacier White metallic exterior wears paint protection film on the front bumper, headlights, front fenders, hood, rocker panels, door sills, A- and B-pillars, and the rear bumper cover. The black interior has a Red RS Design package. In this spec the twin-turbo 4.0L V8 and 48-volt mild-hybrid system are factory rated at 621HP/627 lb-ft and drive an 8-speed ZF-source Tiptronic and Sport rear diff. The Carfax report is accident-free but does have an open recall #90TV for the Rearview Camera Software.

This fixed head coupe is finished in Panther Black crystal effect with carbon fiber Sigma side blades and purple brake calipers. The black interior has Fine Nappa leather seats with diamond stitching that extends to the door panels, and an HVAC system that only functions “intermittently”. The 5.2L V10, Audi rated at 525HP/391 lb-ft, exhales into an aftermarket exhaust and powers a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports five previous owners and minor damage to the front and right rear in August 2016, and minor damage to the front and left rear in February 2019 after which the car was towed.

Bring a Trailer – 05.15.2026 2:00 PM EDT
No Reserve. Here’s a Monsoon Gray metallic long roof with black cladding. The black interior has leather seats, brushed aluminum trim, and an Audi Concert CD stereo. The turbocharged 2.0L I4 (211HP/258 lb-ft) bolts to an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports this is a one-owner car before dealer acquisition and an accident with another vehicle in May 2013 but no further details.
2017 Audi S8 Plus (37,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.15.2026 2:07 PM EDT
This full-size sporty sedan is Florett Silver metallic with Black Optics and a carbon fiber rear spoiler. The black interior has Valcona leather seats (heated and ventilated up front and heated rear), Driver Assistance and Cold Weather packages, and Night Vision Assistant. The up-spec twin-turbo 4.0L V8 is factory rated at 605HP/553 lb-ft and sends that power to an 8-speed Tiptronic and Sport rear diff. Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents/damage.
2018 Audi A4 allroad (47,500 Miles)

2014 Audi A8 L (94,400 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.15.2026 2:20 PM EDT
No Reserve. This Glacier White metallic limo is well-equipped with Premium, Sport Plus, and Driver Assistance packages, Panoramic sunroof, and 20” wheels. The Velvet Beige interior has Valetta leather seats and an extended leather package, Dark Brown Walnut wood trim, power-operated rear sunshades, and B&O sound.

2013 Audi S5 Cabriolet (108,300 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.15.2026 3:38 PM EDT
No Reserve. This drop head coupe is finished in Estoril Blue crystal effect but that paint’s best days are behind it as the hood was repainted to address faded clear coat. The black soft top covers a black interior with a Comfort package, and B&O sound. The listing says the only mod is aftermarket wheels but pictured are OEM 5-spoke rotors. Please see the listing’s Recent Service History for work done on the supercharged 3.0L V6 (333HP/325 lb-ft) which pairs with a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports that the car was towed following an accident in March 2015. The seller states that the passenger-side quarter panel was repainted after being scuffed in a parking lot. Doesn’t sound like the same incident to me.
2009 Audi TTS Coupe Safari Custom Build (74,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.16.2026 1:10 PM EDT
No Reserve. As seen in this past Tuesday’s Find of the Day, there was clearly a lot of time and money put into this Sprint Blue, decal covered, off-road oriented RV that hasn’t even “been driven off road or driven in dirt” yet. Please read the listing for the extensive modifications that hopefully make this Mk 2 TT a worthy rally car. Carfax reports this car spent its life in CA.
1997 Audi S6 Avant 4.2 (165,000 Kilometers)
Bring a Trailer – 05.16.2026 2:27 PM EDT
Attention Eastern Canada Chapter members, this German-market import long roof in in your area. The exterior is Amethyst Gray pearl, the interior features striped Jacquard upholstery, and both reflect the years and distance driven. Also inside are a Pioneer head unit linked to aftermarket speakers, multiple cracked carbon fiber trim pieces, and a headliner secured with thumb tacks. The 4.2L AEC code 32-valve V8, factory rated at 286HP when new, had its timing belt serviced just prior to the seller’s purchase in 2018, the catalytic converters are removed and the engine leaks oil. A 4-speed automatic transaxle and quattro complete the drivetrain. The seller notes that occasionally the shift lever needs to be moved to start the car.
2022 Audi SQ5 (27,800 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.16.2026 2:40 PM EDT
Per the listing’s first comment, here’s a sporty SUV that was only driven by the proverbial little old lady (a senior citizen wife). The colors are Glacier White metallic outside and black inside with leather/Dinamica S Sport seats, carbon fiber trim, and Convenience package. The turbocharged 3.0L V6 is factory rated at 354HP/369 lb-ft and powers an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports this is a one-owner car with no accidents/damage.
2019 Audi RS 5 Coupe (20,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.17.2026 1:52 PM EDT
This coupe is finished in popular Nardo Gray with a Black Optic package. The black interior has Nappa leather seats with Crescendo Red stitching (massaging up front), RS carbon fiber trim, and the heated steering wheel option. The twin-turbo 2.9L V6 is factory rated at 444HP/443 lb-ft and teams with a ZF 8-speed Tiptronic, Sport diff, and quattro to get you down a curvy road without breaking rule #1. Carfax reports minor damage to the left rear in December 2021 which the seller attributes to being bumped in a parking lot and that a ding above the rear bumper cover near the left-rear wheel was pulled to address the damage.
Audi R8 Luggage Set and Chronograph
Bring a Trailer – 05.18.2026 3:16 PM EDT
No Reserve. Designed to fit behind an R8’s seats, Audi offered a two-piece luggage set that were made to order. This two-piece set is cream Nappa leather and gray stitching. The bags have dual zippers with leather pulls and are lined with black suede. The interiors have leather straps and zippered pockets. Each bag measures about 18.5 by 15 inches. The chronograph was produced by the German Watch Company in collaboration with Audi design and is powered by a Valjoux 7750 automatic movement. The white dial is also marked with quattro branding.
2007 Audi RS 4 (107,400 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.18.2026 3:26 PM EDT
This Daytona Gray pearl fast sedan wears a Maxton Design front splitter on the nose. The black interior has Silk Nappa leather seats, a Premium package, brushed aluminum trim, Kenwood DMX9706S head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay capability, and a JH Motorsports short-throw shifter to work the 6-speed manual. The 4.2L V8 has a concerning service technician note about an oil leak with an expensive estimated repair (see photo #128). Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents/damage. The seller reports that the front bumper of this Audi was repainted and that paintless dent repair has been performed to repair “minor dings”, see the listings gallery for noted exterior flaws.
2025 Audi RS Q8 (4,900 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.18.2026 3:26 PM EDT
Who needs an Urus when you could have this Mythos Black metallic beast? The 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with 48-volt hybrid system is Audi rated at 631HP/627 lb-ft and powers an 8-speed Tiptronic and Sport rear diff. It’s well-equipped with Matte Carbon, Executive, and Luxury packages, Night vision assistant, and RS Sport exhaust, 23” wheels, ceramic brakes with red calipers, B&O 3D Advanced sound, and a trailer hitch for an MSRP of over $159k. The black interior features heated/ventilated Sport seats plus with red stitching. It even comes with a transferable Audi Care Plan contract and a Dealer General Max Protection warranty. The Carfax report is clean.
2007 Audi RS 4 (99,300 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.18.2026 3:34 PM EDT
No Reserve. This fast sedan is Phantom Black pearl and is a bit unusual. A lot of money was spent on it in 2021-2022 and then it was essentially parked “other than the occasional drives or for service.” The seller states the 4.2L V8 consumes around one quart of oil over 5k miles. It still has its Dynamic Ride Control suspension. Mods are limited to a Euro-spec RS 4 steering wheel and Milltek Sport cat-back exhaust. Carfax reports four previous owners and no accidents/damage.
1985 Audi quattro (120,000 Miles Shown)
Bring a Trailer – 05.19.2026 3:07 PM EDT
This Ur quattro is 1 of 73 delivered to the US market for MY 1985 and I’m calling it a restoration project. The Lhasa Metallic exterior has taken a beating from the sun and many bits in the Platinum interior also need work. It has the leather heated front seats, a lift-out sunroof panel, power windows, inoperative cruise control, and a few more issues. Please read the listing for all the work that needs to be done to bring this classic Audi back to the condition it deserves. The turbocharged 2.1L I5 spins a 5-speed manual transaxle but the vacuum-operated center and rear differentials do not currently activate. A set of 15″ multi-spoke Ronal alloy wheels accompany the car along with a collection of spare parts.
2004 Audi S4 Avant (117,200 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.20.2026 2:39 PM EDT
Let’s end on a high-performance note with a color popular with Audi aficionados—the Nogaro Blue pearl that covers this long roof. The performance comes from numerous 034Motorsport and JH Motorsports parts, see the listing’s Modification section for details. It rolls on 18” OZ Superleggera III wheels. The blue is carried inside with the black leather/blue Alcantara Recaro sports seats along with an Alcantara headliner, rear window sunshades, and Bose sound. Carfax reports minor damage to the left rear and left side in June 2013 and minor damage in January 2015. The seller states that the vehicle was keyed in 2013 and that the rear end was damaged in 2015 which may be the reason for the European-market rear hatch conversion. The seller also notes that there is an oil leak that leaves a “couple of drops over a week” and that the upper control arm bushings need replacement. Also, read the listing comments for the warning lights and timing chain questions.
