Words: Steve Johnson
Greetings fellow Audi enthusiasts! Do you find yourself searching through the internet’s multiple car auction sites looking for a specific model? While it can be fun, it does consume valuable time. So let us do some of the work for you. Auction Watch monitors online auction sites 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 you’re looking for in time to bid on it.
I said last week it’s not exactly convertible shopping season, and this week there are five more to bid on! And three of them are some of Audi Sport’s finest. There’s a classic quattro to start things out, one B5 and two B7 gen S4s, and another ten listings to consider bidding on. Please check them all out below, and as always, thanks for reading!
1985 Audi quattro (110,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 11.09.2023 1:41 PM EST
Bid quickly, this listing ends early PM! This Ur-quattro is powered by a turbocharged 2.1L I5, rated at 160HP/170 lb-ft when new, that had its timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket replaced in 2023. It’s mated to a 5-speed manual transaxle. The exterior is Alpine White and the interior is black with gray leather seats and door panels, and an Alpine stereo. Mod highlights include tucked bumpers, euro-spec headlights, 2Bennett Audimotive coilovers, Koni shocks, and a Borla muffler.
2012 Audi R8 V10 Spyder (10,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 11.09.2023 2:40 PM EST
Bid quickly, this listing ends mid-PM! OK, so it’s another low mileage 2012 Spyder. Why hasn’t anyone put mileage on this model? Is the 5.2L V10, Audi rated at 525HP/391 lb-ft, boring to listen to? We all know the answer to that. This example is bone-stock, has a clean Carfax report (although the 2012 and 2013 tires need to go), and looks super clean in the pictures.
2007 Audi RS 4 (123,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 11.09.2023 3:50 PM EST
Bid quickly, this listing ends late PM! Heads-up Eastern Canada Chapter members, this fast sedan has been in your territory since March 2013. It is Phantom Black pearl with tinted windows over a black interior with leather Recaro seats, a Premium package, and carbon fiber trim. The OEM drivetrain is untouched but the chassis now rides on Bilstein B14 coilovers. The Carfax is clean but the daytime running light warning light is illuminated due to the conversion when brought into Canada. And the 2017 date-coded tires will need changing sooner than later.

Bring a Trailer – 11.09.2023 4:27 PM EST

Triple black with a power soft top and leather seats with wood trim and an aftermarket touchscreen Pioneer stereo head unit in the cabin. Audi rated the turbocharged 1.8L I4 at 170HP/166 lb-ft.

2015 Audi S5 Coupe (55,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 11.12.2023 2:40 PM EST

It’s enhanced with these APR products: Stage 2+ ECU tune, upper and lower supercharger pulleys, Ultracharger throttle body, carbon fiber intake, and intercooler. To help the 6-speed manual and drivetrain handle the additional power, a Southbend single-mass flywheel and Stage 3 clutch, a JXB driveshaft carrier bearing, and Raxles axles were also added.
