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. 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.
If you’re looking for an RS 5 you’re in luck, there are four this week: two B8.5 and two B9 generation models. Perhaps a TT is on your wish list. There are two Mark I models and a modified Mark II TT RS. The more utilitarian vehicles this week are two A4 Allroads and a Q7. The elder statesmen this week are a refurbished C2 generation 1983 5000 Turbo Diesel and a C4 generation 1993 S4 that needs some TLC. Check these out and the other nine car listings below.
I say car listing because if you’re looking for the coolest coffee table ever, scroll down to the second to last entry. As always, thanks for reading!

No Reserve. This C4 generation sedan needs some TLC but definitely looks worth the effort.

2004 Audi TT Coupe (94,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 07.19.2024 3:45 PM EDT

The Ebony interior has leather seats, a CD player, Bose sound, failing pixels in the center display, and latch-less rear storage cubbies. Please read the listing’s Known Flaws section for other items. The 1.8L I4 runs an APR Stage 1 tune and is way past time for timing chain and water pump replacement.

2013 Audi RS 5 Coupe (47,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.19.2024 4:16 PM EDT
This listing is worth looking at for the pictures alone, quite the model shoot and deservingly so. The Daytona Gray pearl is complemented by a Titanium package and the right-rear quarter panel and right rocker panel were repaired and resprayed in March 2016. The black interior has Nappa leather seats, carbon fiber trim, Audi MMI Navigation Plus and Driver Assist packages, and B&O sound.

Bring a Trailer – 07.20.2024 1:42 PM EDT
A black on black sportback here. The Mythos Black metallic is covered in XPEL ppf and the windshield by ClearPlex protection film.

2015 Audi A4 Allroad (101,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 07.22.2024 1:30 PM EDT

1983 Audi 5000 Turbo Diesel (115,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.23.2024 5:47 PM EDT
No Reserve. The paint color on this rare blast from the past is called Night Black. The black and Sierra Beige interior has leather seats, cruise control, a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, some replacement switches, and A/C converted to R134a refrigerant. Per the seller, the C2 generation turbo diesel was only offered in 1983 and only in the US. The turbo bumped the power output of the 2.0L I5 from 67HP to 84HP, a 25% increase. That ‘power’ flows to the front wheels through a three-speed automatic. Please see the listing for description and pictures of the engine rebuild and the work done on the body and chassis.
Audi Inline-Five Coffee Table
Bring a Trailer – 07.24.2024 1:48 PM EDT
No Reserve. And now for something completely different, a table with five cylinders. Clearly the perfect addition to any Audi aficionado’s home. The 1/2″ thick tempered glass tabletop measures about 33″ in diameter and just over 29″ high. Etchings on the glass are a period Audi logo, quattro script, a four ring Audi logo, and “rallye-meister der gruppe b 1982, 1984” text. The engine block is attached to a black metal frame riding on four lockable casters. The valve cover is finished in white with black, silver, and red rhombus stripes and an oval Audi logo. It has a KKK turbocharger, dipstick, ignition components, pulleys, and an oil filter; however, the engine lacks internal components which no doubt reduces weight but it still comes in at 300 lbs.
2007 Audi RS 4 (42,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 07.24.2024 2:40 PM EDT
The fast sedan is finished in Daytona Gray pearl.
