Audi Club Auction Watch: 08.20.2026
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 four new auction listings end today: a 2009 A4 Cabriolet, a 2020 SQ5, a 2012 R8 V10 Coupe with a 6-speed, and a 2014 RS 5 Coupe. Let’s highlight the fast, roomy segments of Audi’s model range starting with a 631-horsepower 2025 RS Q8 Performance model. Who needs an Urus? Then there’s a 2023 RS Q8 and a 2021 RS 6 Avant packing just a touch less go-power. Then there’s my pick of the week, the very tastefully and extensively modified 2008 A4 Avant pictured above. Another ten four-door models are listed along with one lonely TT Roadster relist below. This week’s import is also a relist—a 2000 RS 4 Avant that was bought off BaT while still in France. Be sure to check out all this week’s 20 listings because there won’t be an Auction Watch next week. We’re off to drive with the Georgia Chapter in their HelenBack event. Auction Watch will be back on September 3rd. Happy motoring!
This week’s relists are:
Here’s a 2018 RS 3 that bid to $42.5k on C&B in early June. Its 2.5L I5 was rebuilt with JE pistons, FCP X-beam connecting rods, ARP hardware, and a lot more very high-performance goodies. Please read the listing for all the details. It’s Daytona Gray over black and has 57.5k miles. Carfax reports four previous owners and no accidents or damage. This auction ends 08.24.2026 at 2:41 PM EDT.

It’s Silver with a black top over Ebony leather, still has 91.1k miles, and is a 5-speed, front-wheel drive car. It’s got wear in the usual places and a dirty Carfax.
