Audi Club Auction Watch: 12.04.2025
Words: Steve Johnson
Hello again Audi aficionados! Thank you for reading 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 and include a few pictures and a link to the listing. Our goal is to help you find that certain Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving with family and Audi friends. If you didn’t overspend on Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales and are still looking for an Audi, auctions ending today (Thursday) are a 2015 Q5 TDI, a 2018 S4, and a 2014 S6. This week’s special listing is a 2001 RS 4 Avant imported from Brazil that was federalized in 2023. The low-ish mileage cars this week are a 2012 R8 Coupe with 27k miles, a 2005 TT Roadster with 39k miles, but the low-mileage winner is a 3,000-mile 2025 RS 6 Avant, but I’d expect that. My pick of the week is also yesterday’s Find of the Day, the 1980 4000 2-door pictured above. It’s a survivor, a benchmark for other 4000 owners to use as they restore their cars. In addition to these listings, there’s another Mark I TT Roadster and two more TDI-equipped cars. All together there are 15 listings this week. Remember to click on the smaller pictures for a larger view and, as always, thanks for reading!
This week’s relist is:
A 2006 A8 L which sold on C&B in late November but the winning bidder failed to follow through with the $7,600 purchase. It’s Brilliant Black over Cream/Dark Beige with ventilated leather front seats and has 139,000 miles. The 4.2L V8 bolts to a 6-speed Tiptronic. Carfax lists four previous owners and minor damage in February 2023. This no reserve auction ends 12.08.2025 at 3:06 PM EST.
2015 Audi Q5 TDI (68,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.04.2025 1:48 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM! No Reserve. If you haven’t watched or listened to the latest All-Wheel Driven podcast, Joe and his guest discuss the future of Audi TDI models like this Florett Silver metallic SUV. The black interior has leather seats, wood trim, a Technology Package, a panoramic sunroof, and B&O sound. The turbodiesel 3.0L V6 was factory rated at 240HP/428 lb-ft when new and drives an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports this is a one-owner car with no accidents/damage and a good service history.
2018 Audi S4 (67,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 12.04.2025 2:18 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM! As I recall, this Navarra Blue metallic over an interior with Rotor Gray Fine Nappa leather seats was a popular combo. Also inside are Carbon Atlas inlays, a Technology package, and B&O sound. It’s also equipped with an S Sport package which adds a Sport diff to the 3.0L turbocharged V6/8-speed Tiptronic drivetrain. Carfax reports two previous owners, no accidents/damage, and that it was a Certified Pre-owned sale to owner #2.
2014 Audi S6 (72,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.04.2025 2:39 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends mid-PM today! No Reserve. Here’s a second one-owner car, a sporty full-size sedan in Oolong Gray metallic. It’s equipped with an C7 Audi Exclusive Edition 1 package which gives it an interior with Havana Brown leather seats and door panels, Piano Black trim, a Driver Assistance Package, adaptive cruise control, soft-close doors, and Bose sound. The twin-turbo 4.0L V8, Audi rated at 420HP/406 lb-ft, connects to a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports minor to moderate damage to the front, right front, right side, and right rear in March 2018, the right-side doors were replaced as a result. Dents and paint chips are visible on the hood.
1980 Audi 4000 (22,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.05.2025 1:59 PM EST
No Reserve. As seen in yesterday’s Find of the Day, this 2-door, Helios Blue metallic antique Audi won’t be setting any speed records with its 2.1L I5, factory rated at 100 horsepower when new. But it does have Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection, and head gasket, timing belt, and water pump all replaced in 2025. Those ponies flow to a 3-speed automatic transaxle to the front wheels only. The blue interior has check-pattern crushed velour, cut-pile carpets, tachometer with an inset quartz clock, vent windows, and a Sony cassette stereo with four-speaker sound. This time capsule was purchased from an estate auction in June 2025 and deserves a new life with an Audi Club North America member behind the wheel.
2025 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance (3,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.05.2025 2:31 PM EST
No Reserve. Here’s Audi’s halo avant in Nardo Gray with the optional Matte Carbon Optic package and paint protection film (assuming on the entire car, may be addressed in comments). The black interior has heated/ventilated front RS sport seats, an RS Design package plus in red, Driver Assistance and Executive packages, and B&O sound. The chassis rides on H&R lowering springs. The already up-rated spec twin-turbo 4.0L V8 is further enhanced with Audi Club sponsor APR’s ECU tune and carbon fiber intake and an Akrapovič exhaust and link pipes. The Carfax report is clean.
2015 Audi S5 Coupe (139,500 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 12.05.2025 3:18 PM EST
This Mythos Black metallic coupe has some mileage but in May 2025 work was done to refresh the exterior in places. Carfax reports damage to the front and right rear in March 2016 but repair paperwork dates the damage to December 2016. The Carfax is thin on service history but see listing photo 128-129 for work done from 2016 to present. The black interior has leather/Alcantara seats, Carbon Atlas inlays, a Technology package, and B&O sound. Mods include EBC Redstuff brake pads, slotted brake rotors, wheels powder-coated gray, and gray Plasti Dip on exterior emblems and rings. The supercharged 3.0L V6, Audi rated at 333HP/325 lb-ft, and 7-speed S tronic are stock but ask about low coolant level if considering bidding.
2005 Audi TT Roadster 225 (39,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.08.2025 1:40 PM EST
No Reserve. This low-ish mileage Mark I TT is painted Light Silver Metallic with a power black soft top. Inside are Amber Red leather seats with Baseball Optic stitching, an Audi Concert CD stereo, and dead pixels in the center display. The turbocharged 1.8L I4 (225HP/207 lb-ft) spins a 6-speed manual and quattro drive. Carfax reports that this is a one-owner vehicle that had an accident with another vehicle in August 2013 resulting in minor damage to the left rear, rear, and right rear. The listing states the tires need replacement.
2006 Audi A4 3.2 (64,500 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 12.08.2025 2:30 PM EST
No Reserve. This Light Silver metallic sedan is powered by a 3.2L V6, factory rated at 255HP/243 lb-ft when new, that’s mated to a 6-speed manual. It’s equipped with S line, Technology, Premium, Audio, and Cold Weather packages. The black interior has leather seats and brushed aluminum trim. Carfax reports minor damage to the right rear from an accident in October 2008. The seller reports an accident resulting in damage to the front and passenger’s side and the front bumper, fender, and passenger’s side front door shell were replaced as a result. The tires have 2013 date codes.
2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet (129,500 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 12.09.2025 1:54 PM EST
No Reserve. It might not be droptop season but this Phantom Black pearl example is looking for a new home for the second time since September 2024. Under the black soft top are ventilated Milano leather Comfort front seats with head-level heating, brushed aluminum trim, and a Navigation package but the screen appears in rough shape. A supercharged 3.0L V6, rated at 333HP/325 lb-ft when new, sends its power to a rebuilt 7-speed S tronic to an optional Sport Diff. Carfax reports four previous owners and no accidents or damage.
2001 Audi RS 4 Avant (34,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.09.2025 2:09 PM EST
You can drive this Brilliant Black fast long roof like it’s 1999 (see photo #54). It was imported from Brazil in February 2021 and federalized in July 2023 proving there are exceptions to the 25-year rule. The black interior has Onyx Valcona Recaro leather seats, carbon fiber inlays, a cassette stereo with Bose sound, some flaws in the A pillar trim and on door panels, and a discolored center armrest mount. The 2.7L V6 was factory rated at 375HP/325 lb-ft when new and spins a 6-speed manual. See the Carfax report for the items serviced in July 2023.
2012 Audi R8 Coupe (27,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.09.2025 2:44 PM EST
Here’s yet another low mileage 2012 R8, this example is powered by a 4.2L V8 (420HP/317 lb-ft) that spins a 6-speed manual. The exterior is Daytona Gray pearl with Carbon Fiber Sigma sideblades. The interior features contrasting Limestone Gray leather/Alcantara seats and carpet, a Convenience package, and an optional perforated leather steering wheel. Carfax reports only two previous owners (#2 only 5 months), no accidents/damage, and a glitch in the matrix on 06/25/2025 you might inquire about.
2015 Audi Q7 TDI (100,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.10.2025 1:46 PM EST

No Reserve. This Brilliant Black Mark I has a replacement manual (as per listing) black soft top over an interior featuring worn Aviator Gray Nappa leather seats, an Audi Concert CD stereo, dead pixels in the center display, and the left seat heat button sunken into its bezel. The turbocharged 1.8L I4 (225HP/207 lb-ft) starts with a battery replaced in 2025 and spins a 6-speed manual. Carfax reports two previous owners but the listing states the seller is the original owner, no accidents/damage, and a thin service history.
2013 Audi A3 TDI (121,500 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 12.10.2025 3:06 PM EST
No Reserve. Another diesel-powered Audi, this one at the other end of the size spectrum. This Meteor Gray pearl hatchback is powered by a 2.0L turbodiesel I4 (140HP/236 lb-ft) that drives only the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic. The black interior has leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a touchscreen head unit, and a rearview camera. Carfax reports very minor damage to the rear and right rear following a rear-end collision with another vehicle in February 2016. There are some interior and exterior flaws noted in the lasting and the photos—it’s showing its age.
2014 Audi S8 (131,000 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 12.10.2025 3:30 PM EST
Now a Phantom Black pearl transporter is looking for a new home. It’s powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8, Audi rated at 520HP/481 lb-ft, which bolts to an 8-speed Tiptronic. The black interior has heated, ventilated, massaging leather front seats, Carbon Atlas and brushed aluminum trim, Driver Assistance package, and B&O sound.
