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.
It just wouldn’t be a typical Auction Watch unless there were low mileage R8 listings, this week there’s a 12,000-mile Spyder back for a second time this year on Bring a Trailer, and an even lower mileage Coupe. To balance out the yin and yang, there are three 6-model variants all with just over 100,000 miles. A 1 of 60 S4 Nogaro Blue Edition and two highly modified coupes round out the highlights. Please check out all listings below. As always, thanks for reading!
2015 Audi Q7 TDI S line (70,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.07.2023 2:21 PM EST
Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM! It’s been a minute or two since we’ve had a TDI listing, this example is a Prestige trim level finished in (Brilliant?) black. The black interior has heated/ventilated leather front seats, quad-zone automatic climate control, rear sunshades, B&O sound, and an infotainment system with Audi MMI Navigation Plus. The TDI recall has been completed on the 3.0L turbodiesel V6 (240HP/406 lb-ft) that connects to an 8-speed Tiptronic. The clean Carfax report shows one owner but almost no service history.
2015 Audi R8 V8 Spyder (12,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.08.2023 5:21 PM EST
This Daytona Gray pearl drop top previously listed on BaT in June 2023 when it bid to $89,000. It wears paint protection film with Track Pack and door coverage. Under the black soft top lies a full leather package with diamond stitched seats and door panels, carbon fiber Sigma inlays, B&O sound, and the always helpful Parking System Plus with rearview camera. The 4.2L V8 is Audi rated at 430HP/317 lb-ft and mates to a 7-speed S tronic. The Carfax report is clean.
2003 Audi RS 6 (102,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.09.2023 1:36 PM EST
One owner! That’s a Mugello Blue Pearl Effect finish over a silver interior featuring black-piped leather seats, carbon fiber trim, and an Audi Symphony CD/cassette stereo with Bose speakers. Audi rated the twin-turbo 4.2L V8 with five valves per cylinder at 450HP/415 lb-ft and it’s optioned with a sound-enhancing exhaust. The transmission is a 5-speed Tiptronic. Please read the listing for the service done over the life of the car. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
2011 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (7,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.09.2023 4:30 PM EST
Another Mugello Blue pearl finish, this time with carbon fiber Side blades over an all-black interior with leather seats, Piano black trim, Audi Parking System Plus with a rearview camera, an Audi Concert CD stereo with B&O sound. The 5.2L V10 (525HP/391 lb-ft) exhales through an Akrapovič exhaust surrounded by more carbon fiber and mates to a 6-speed R tronic. The Carfax report is clean but doesn’t mention any tires being mounted since 2012.
2013 Audi S6 (103,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 12.11.2023 3:29 PM EST
No Reserve. Phantom Black pearl on black with some tasty mods, this fast sedan looks ready to ride off into the sunset. Nicely equipped with a Driver Assistance Package, Valcona leather seats with diamond stitching, Carbon Atlas inlays, and Bose surround sound. Please read the listing’s mechanical, exterior, and interior mods for the enhancements. The drivetrain in this gen S6 is a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 mated to a 7-speed S tronic. The Carfax report is clean but an open recall on the oil strainer.
2011 Audi A6 Avant (101,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.11.2023 4:47 PM EST
This black long roof is a Prestige trim example with an Amaretto Brown interior featuring leather seats, Burl walnut wood trim, door panel inserts, a glove-box-mounted CD changer, and a 13-speaker Bose sound. The power plant is a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 Audi rated at 300HP/310 lb-ft that spins a 6-speed Tiptronic. The exterior is showing its age, it had some paintless dent repair but there are still some finish flaws on the front end. The Carfax report is clean though.
2007 Audi RS 4 (109,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 12.12.2023 1:58 PM EST
Delivered in black, this tastefully modified fast sedan now wears Nogaro Blue with paint protection film. Its black interior features front Recaro race seats with paint-matched seatbacks. Mods are primarily handling and appearance related but the 4.2L V8 now exhales through a Milltek Sport cat-back exhaust. Please read the listing for all the details. Carfax reports minor damage to the left rear in a front or side impact with another vehicle in January 2018, and damage to the right front and right side in February 2020.
2001 Audi A6 (29,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.12.2023 2:26 PM EST
No Reserve. The exterior is Light Silver metallic; the interior has Tungsten Gray leather seats, wood trim, a GPS navigation system, and an Audi Symphony CD/cassette stereo. The twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 is factory rated at 250HP/258 lb-ft and its timing belt was replaced in 2012. Service in August 2023 included an oil change, new plugs, and ignition coils for cylinders three and six. A 6-speed manual transaxle and quattro with Electronic Differential Lock traction control completes the drivetrain. Carfax reports no accidents or damage but little service history. Tires were last mounted in 2013 and a set of factory 17″ wheels come with the car.
1990 Audi Coupe (TMU)
cars & bids – 12.12.2023 4:18 PM EST
Last week we saw the Brilliant Yellow shade and this week it’s the Ginster Yellow shade that covers a significantly modified ride. The total mileage is unknown because the odometer stopped working but you won’t mind after popping the hood to see the swapped-in 3B 2.2L I5 engine from a 1991 Audi 200. A Garrett GTX2860RS turbocharger, an RS 2 T3 exhaust manifold, and a custom 304SS downpipe with Motorsports high-flow cat enhance its breathing and those are just a few of the mod highlights. Please read the listing Modifications section for all the details and the Comments section as well.
2003 Audi S8 (156,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.12.2023 5:01 PM EST
The last year for the D2 gen S8 and this example is finished in Avus Silver pearl. Inside the spacious black cabin are Burgundy Valcona leather seats and door panels, wood trim, a touchscreen stereo with navigation, Bluetooth capability, and Bose sound. The 4.2L 40-valve V8, Audi rated at 360HP/317 lb-ft, mates to a retrofitted 6-speed manual and had its timing belt replaced in 2023. The chassis rides on 18″ wheels and is said to have been sourced from a TT and Bilstein shocks; it stops with RS 6-sourced front calipers and EBC brake pads. The Carfax report is clean.
2015 Audi S4 Nogaro Blue Edition (48,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.13.2023 2:01 PM EST
No Reserve. Nogaro Blue is so popular that Audi issued a 60-car special edition that has a $4,100 interior with black leather/Cobalt Blue Alcantara seats and Race Aluminum inlays. The Prestige level trim brings even more interior goodies. Under the hood lies a supercharged 3.0L V6 that inhales through an Integrated Engineering intake, runs 034Motorsport ECU and TCU tunes, and exhales through an AWE Tuning Touring Edition exhaust. A 7-speed S tronic and optional Sport diff complete the drivetrain. The Carfax report is clean.
2014 Audi R8 V8 Coupe (56,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 12.13.2023 2:34 PM EST
I sense a fad here, not sure I’m buying into it. Does an R8 pull-off the rally look? Please read the listing for the mods that make it off-road capable. The 4.2L V8 runs an aftermarket ECU tune and wears K&N air filters, a Eurowise Performance air intake and stainless-steel exhaust. The enhanced power drives a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports an accident with another vehicle in May 2016 with disabling damage to the left-front.
2018 Audi S5 Coupe (8,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 12.13.2023 3:15 PM EST
The B9 gen S5 is powered by a turbocharged 3.0L V6 that Audi rates at 354HP/369 lb-ft and it connects to a ZF-sourced 8-speed Tiptronic. The paint color is Navarra Blue metallic and that’s over a black interior with Rotor Gray leather/Alcantara seats and arm rests, and aluminum trim.
Carfax reports no accidents or damage but the original tires are getting a touch old.
