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. 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.
After a break, Auction Watch is back and there’s something a bit special this week, no? If you’re looking for an RS 2 Avant imported from Spain you’re in luck, it’s the third car below. If you want a long roof but that’s a bit too exotic for you, there are two mid-2000s S4 Avants. From the Audi Sport side of the garage, a second generation R8 GT is up for auction as well as a tastefully-modified 2009 R8 Coupe and a twin-turbo modified 2017 R8 Plus Coupe. But since it is summertime, maybe you’re looking for a convertible—there are four this week to choose from. Please check-out these listings and the other seven cars below. Again, welcome back and thanks for reading!

cars & bids – 07.11.2024 2:36 PM EDT

2009 Audi R8 Coupe (63,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.14.2024 2:01 PM EDT
Sorry to disappoint, but this coupe is Daytona Gray pearl under an orange 3M vinyl wrap, not OEM Samoa Orange. It does have carbon fiber side blades, KW V3 coilovers, and 19″ Variant wheels to complete the look though. The 4.2L V8 is modified with aftermarket engine management software and exhales into a Rev9 Autosport stainless exhaust. And you will get a 6-speed manual if you enter the winning bid. Other mods include paint protection film on the nose and Scrape Armor bumper protection on the underside of the front bumper cover. The Carfax is clean.
2016 Audi A4 Allroad (86,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.15.2024 2:48 PM EDT
No Reserve. This long roof is listed as black (probably Brilliant) with silver roof rails and lower-body accents. The black interior has leather Sport seats thanks to the Sport Package, woodgrain trim, Audi MMI Navigation Plus infotainment with a rearview camera, and B&O sound.

2005 Audi S4 Avant (140,000** Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.15.2024 5:04 PM EDT
This long roof was given an amped-up heart transplant, the 4.2L V8 is a remanufactured long block** that now runs a Revo Stage 2 ECU tune. Please read the listing for the details. The 6-speed manual had its clutch disc, flywheel, and slave cylinder replaced in 2020. The exterior is Arctic White, the black interior has Recaro front seats in black leather/beige (or silver?) Alcantara, brushed aluminum and carbon fiber trim, and a Pioneer head unit with Bose sound. Carfax reports the instrument panel was repaired in 2005 but no accidents or damage. The seller reports a warning light related to the headlamps is illuminated.
2023 Audi RS 5 Coupe (11,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.16.2024 2:35 PM EDT
The best part of this Glacier White metallic over black coupe isn’t the clean Carfax or clean title, it’s the key option: a Competition package. That alone is a $16,100 item, and it also has Navigation and Side Assist packages. See the window sticker included in the listing’s picture for all the details. With the Competition package, the twin-turbocharged 2.9L V6 (444HP/443 ft-lb) is allowed to propel the car to a higher top speed…please only attempt this on a track.
2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus Coupe (58,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 07.16.2024 2:30 PM EDT
Here’s another wrapped R8 hiding its true color, Florett Silver metallic this time. The sheep head graphics on the doors are a clue that the 5.2L V10 is now equipped with a SHEEPEYRACE Twin Turbo Kit. To handle the power increase, the 7-speed S tronic is modified with a Colab Garage Dodson Motorsport DL800 Stage 2 Transmission build. What can’t hide are those Express Red seats, door panels and center console in an otherwise black cabin trimmed with matte carbon fiber. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
2007 Audi RS 4 (101,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 07.16.2024 4:00 PM EDT
This Daytona Gray pearl fast sedan was imported from Canada in 2019. The interior has silver leather seats, aftermarket rear-view camera, and a Premium package adds a lot of nice to have stuff. As commonly done on these, coilovers have replaced the Dynamic Ride Control. It now rides on 20” Flow One wheels. The 4.2L V8 and 6-speed manual are unmodified. The Carfax report has some gaps but lists no accidents or mileage discrepancies for the given time period.
2017 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (26,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.17.2024 1:44 PM EDT
The 5.2L V10 now runs APR Stage 1 ECU tune, exhales into a Fabspeed exhaust and mates to a 7-speed S tronic.

Options are Carbon exterior and Diamond stitch leather with contrast stitching packages, dynamic steering, and red calipers. It rolls on BC Forged 20″ wheels. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
2018 Audi SQ5 (91,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 07.17.2024 2:30 PM EDT
No Reserve. This Mythos Black metallic SUV is a fast family hauler thanks to a 3.0L turbocharged V6, Audi rated at 354HP/369 lb-ft and an 8-speed Tiptronic. Inside the black interior are Fine Nappa leather seats, Carbon Atlas inlays, Navigation package, and B&O sound. Carfax does report minor damage to the front, right front, and right side following an impact with another vehicle in May 2024. And the front bumper is still misaligned and shows flaws on the left side.
2010 Audi TTS Roadster (81,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.17.2024 3:58 PM EDT
This Brilliant Red pocket rocket is just that now thanks to Audi Club sponsor Integrated Engineering’s Stage 1 ECU tune, carbon fiber intake, and transmission tune for the 6-speed S tronic. Please read the listing for engine work done when the mods were added in June 2023 and chassis mods. The new in June 2024 black soft top covers a black cabin with Black/Magma Red Silk Nappa leather seats and door cards, Audi Navigation Plus, Bose sound, a Bovee Tune2Air Bluetooth adapter and a ProClip phone mount with wireless charging. The Carfax is clean but the tires have 2017 date codes.
