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.
The theme this week is long-term one owner cars as there are four of them. There’s also an essentially new 2023 R8 Performance Coupe with only one owner but you’d expect that. In the same model line there are two Type 42 R8s this week in both coupe and spyder body styles. One car, a 2003 RS 6, is making its fourth appearance in seven years on BaT. This week’s most unstock offering is a 2007 RS 4 followed by a 2005 S4 Avant. Please scroll on down to learn more about these and the other six cars on offer this week. And thanks for reading!
2003 Audi RS 6 (40,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.13.2024 2:10 PM EDT
No Reserve. This fast sedan has listed three times on BaT, the last in February 2023 when it bid to $21,000. The Mugello Blue pearl paint has a few touch-ups. The silver interior has leather seats, burl wood trim, Bose sound for its Audi Symphony CD/cassette stereo, and a few flaws. The Dynamic Ride Control was replaced with Koni coilovers under previous ownership. The twin-turbo 4.2L V8, factory rated at 450HP/415 lb-ft, had a lot of items serviced in November 2022 and in March 2023, please read the listing for details. A thermostat fault is noted in a February 2024 service record shown in the pictures. A 5-speed Tiptronic completes the drivetrain. The Carfax report is clean.
2009 Audi A4 Cabriolet CVT Special Edition (40,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 09.13.2024 3:32 PM EDT
No Reserve. One owner. The window sticker for this Ibis White droptop with a black soft top (whose control module, and motor were replaced in May 2024) is included in the listing and from what I read it must be the Multitronic continuously variable transmission that makes it a “special edition”. The black interior has leather seats (with a few tears), aluminum trim, and an Audi Symphony CD stereo with Bose sound. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0L I4 Audi rated at 200HP/207 lb-ft. Carfax reports minor damage in November 2021 but no further details. The selling dealer notes that the right rocker panel has been repainted.

A 6-speed R tronic and quattro complete the drivetrain. The black Audi Exclusive interior has leather seats, Carbon Sigma and body-color trim on the center console and door panels, a Passport radar detector, an infotainment system with Audi Navigation Plus, CD stereo and B&O sound.

2013 Audi S4 (36,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 09.16.2024 2:06 PM EDT
One owner. A popular combo of Moonlight Blue metallic over a black interior with Nappa leather Chestnut Brown seat inserts for you here. And that paint wears ppf on the side mirrors, trunk lid, and half of hood. The unmodified drivetrain is a 3.0L supercharged V6, Audi rated at 333HP/325 lb-ft, a 7-speed S tronic, and an optional Sport diff.

Yes, this is essentially a new car. The only thing missing is the window sticker. The Ibis White exterior and all the windows were given the full XPEL treatment: PPF, ceramic coating, and tinting. Even the Pastel Silver Nappa leather interior bits were given “Leather Coating”. In Performance-spec the 5.2L V10 is factory rated at 602HP/413 lb-ft and mates to a 7-speed S tronic.
