I’m back from TT West 2022 which was epic! A huge thanks to Larry Brickner for planning and leading a great driving experience. While we were driving, summer vacation must have ended because I saw a lot of nice cars come to auction. And there are a lot of really nice cars listed this week as well, check them out below.
2012 Audi S4 (107,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.08.2022 1:38 PM EDT
Act quickly if you like it! Cool Ice Silver Metallic over a Spectral Silver and black interior, this is a hot package. The 3.0L supercharged V6 mated to a 6-speed manual and chassis are significantly enhanced. Mod highlights: CTS Turbo Stage 2 supercharger pulley, a Eurodyne tune, ECS Tuning carbon fiber air intake, 19-inch Neuspeed wheels, coilovers, and EuroCode front and rear sway bars. Please read the listing for all the details. Carfax reports minor front end damage which occurred in May 2017.
2009 Audi R8 V8 Coupe (8,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.08.2022 3:05 PM EDT
Bid fast on this low mileage car! The mid-mounted V8 is factory rated at 420HP/317 lb-ft and it’s mated to the highly desirable 6-speed manual. Finished in Phantom Black pearl over a full black leather interior, it also comes with a radar detector (that just might come in handy) and a car cover. The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage.
2006 Audi S4 Cabriolet (42,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.08.2022 5:53 PM EDT
Another ending today listing! An apparently very well cared for car, the Brilliant Black paint, black leather seats with silver piping, and power black soft top all look great in the pictures. The 4.2L V8 (340HP/302 lb-ft) connects to a 6-speed manual. Drop the top to better hear the Milltek Sport exhaust. The Carfax report is as clean as the car.
2001 Audi TT Roadster 225 (42,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.08.2022 6:00 PM EDT
Another black droptop listing ending today! Batter-up! Yes, it’s the baseball-stitched Amber Red leather seats, this time contrasting a black interior and Brilliant Black exterior. The 1.8L I4 is factory rated at 225 HP/207 lb-ft and it’s mated to a 6-speed manual for optimum driver engagement. Please read the listing’s comment section for some concerns. The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage.
2020 Audi SQ8 (18,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.09.2022 3:24 PM EDT
This Prestige package is piled high with options: Sport, Luxury, Black Optic, B&O Advanced 3D sound, and Towing packages. Classy Daytona Gray pearl (fully protected by XPEL ppf and Ceramic Pro coating) over an Arras Red/black/Carbon vector inlay interior kept cool by tinted windows. The 4.0L twin-turbo V8, factory rated at 500HP/568 lb-ft, connects to an 8-speed Tiptronic. All this and a clean Carfax report too!
2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder (16,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.09.2022 2:20 PM EDT
Another low-mileage drop top! The 5.2L V10 is factory rated at 525HP/391 lb-ft and it’s mated to a 6-speed R-Tronic. The Brilliant Red paint contrasts the black soft top and black leather interior with carbon sigma trim. Carfax reports no accidents or other damage.
2015 Audi RS 7 (26,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.10.2022 1:31 PM EDT
No Reserve. Striking Sepang Blue pearl offset by the Carbon Optic package outside and black leather seats with contrasting stitching, carbon fiber trim, and WeatherTech floor mats inside. The twin-turbo 4.0L V8 (560HP/516 lb-ft) drives an 8-speed Tiptronic. Options: Driver Assistance and Media packages, power closing doors, Sport exhaust, and 21” gloss black wheels. The Carfax report is clean.
2008 Audi A8 L (8,600 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.10.2022 3:15 PM EDT
No Reserve. One owner and this car has barely been driven! The 4.2L V8 is factory rated at 350HP/325 lb-ft and mated to a 6-speed automatic for luxury cruising. That’s Savana Beige pearl over seating upholstered in Espresso Brown leather, contrasting black dash, and door panels with Amber Sycamore wood trim. Carfax does report an accident in September 2009 that damaged the right rear.
2008 Audi RS 4 (227,000 Km/141,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.11.2022 4:49 PM EDT
A Canadian-spec, Ontario resident. The drivetrain: 4.2L V8 (420HP/317 lb-ft), a 6-speed manual, and quattro AWD. Mods include STaSIS Motor Sport coilovers with Ohlins dampers, removed exhaust resonator, and an aftermarket x-pipe. The Recaro seats in black leather with piano-black trim are complimented by a Phantom Black pearl exterior with gold-finished 19″ split-spoke wheels. The Carfax report is clean.
2003 Audi RS 6 (28,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.12.2022 2:03 PM EDT
Caveat emptor, again. No Reserve. This car listed on Bring a Trailer in March 2022 and bid to $26,250 but didn’t sell. Next, it listed on Cars & Bids in June where bidding only went to $19,000. This is now its fifth auction listing since June 2016. The Carfax report has a confusing ownership history but it’s accident-free.
2007 Audi S8 (131,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.12.2022 3:46 PM EDT
No Reserve. A study in contrast: Phantom Black pearl outside, Silver and Light Gray with carbon fiber trim inside. A 5.2L V10 (450HP/398 lb-ft) under the bonnet is mated to a 6-speed automatic. Mods are limited to lowering links for the factory air suspension, blacked-out exterior trim, and window tint. Carfax reports two accidents: minor right front damage in December 2008 and front/side impact damage with airbag deployment in September 2011.
2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet (30,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.13.2022 2:02 PM EDT
No Reserve. Low mileage, two owner, and a clean Carfax report. The 3.0L supercharged V6, factory numbers 333HP/325 lb-ft, and 7-speed s-tronic are unmodified as is the rest of the car, but the black soft top was replaced in July 2022. It’s finished in what looks like Monsoon Gray over a black interior that features ventilated seats. One notable flaw is a blurry back-up camera image; and note, the Service Due light is on.
2005 Audi Allroad (163,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.13.2022 2:59 PM EDT
No Reserve. That’s Cobalt Blue Metallic over a black and grey interior with Recaro leather seats. It came from Audi with a 2.7L twin-turbocharged V6 but forget the factory rating, the engine, tranny, and chassis are all significantly enhanced. Please read the listing for the long list of mods. Carfax reports no accident or damage.
2011 Audi R8 V10 Spyder (18,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.14.2022 1:30 PM EDT
Yet another low mileage R8 Spyder, this time in Ibis White over an enhanced black leather package with carbon sigma trim and black top. The 5.2L V10 (525HP/391 lb-ft) is mated to a 6-speed R-tronic transmission. No accidents or damage are reported by Carfax.
2003 Audi RS 6 (117,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 09.14.2022 2:02 PM EDT
No Reserve. A twin-turbocharged 4.2L V8, factory rated at 450HP/415 lb-ft, may be slightly enhanced by Milltek Sport catted downpipes. It connects to a Level 10-upgraded 5-speed automatic. Finished in Mugello Blue pearl over a black interior with silver-piped leather seats and wood trim. Please read the listing for the Recent Service History and details on the Carfax-reported accident in September 2014.
