Audi Club Auction Watch: 12.14.2023

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.

True to form there’s a low mileage R8 in this week’s Auction Watch listings, but that’s because it’s a 2020 Performance Spyder, in Ascari Blue too.  What’s special this week is a 1 of 99 TT Coupe Special Editions, only the second one we’ve seen here.  If you’re mechanically inclined there’s an RS 4 listed as a “project”, you’ll need to sort out an engine issue.  Not feeling like working on an RS 4, there’s one that’s good to go.  Please take some time and check out the many listings below, and as always, thanks for reading!

2019 Audi RS 3 (17,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.14.2023 1:43 PM EST

Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM!  Daytona Gray pearl graces the exterior while the black cabin has Fine Nappa leather with diamond-pattern in red contrast stitching, carbon fiber trim, and an RS Design Package in red.  The turbocharged 2.5L I5 runs an APR Stage 1 ECU and the 7-speed S tronic spins to an APR TCU tune.  Additional mods are KW coilovers and tinted windows.  The clean Carfax report is a bit wrong on the number of owners, please read the listing’s Comment section for details.

2002 Audi TT Coupe (111,000 Miles)

cars & bids – 12.14.2023 2:40 PM EST

Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM!  No Reserve.  That dark blue shade is called Moro Blue pearl and it’s over an Aviator Gray interior with Premium and Audio packages and a Dension Gateway Lite Bluetooth adapter.  The 1.8L turbocharged I4, Audi rated at 225HP/207 lb-ft, has a Forge Motorsport’s diverter valve and turbo outlet hose; a 6-speed manual and Haldex drive complete the drivetrain.  The chassis rolls on 18” Prodrive GC-06H wheels with a wheel stud conversion and 15mm 42 Draft Designs wheel spacers.  The Carfax report is clean but the tires date to 2015 and 2016.

2017 Audi S7 (41,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.15.2023 2:11 PM EST

I really like the Arras Red Valcona leather seats with contrasting Granite Gray stitching in this Sportback.  An Audi Design Selection package adds red Carbon Twill inlays to the dashboard, center stack, and Alcantara-trimmed door panels; a Driver Assistance Package, and Bose sound completes the black interior.  The twin-turbo 4.0L V8 (450HP/406 lb-ft) under the Glacier White metallic hood drives a 7-speed S tronic.  No accidents or damage are reported by Carfax.

2016 Audi S5 Cabriolet (112,000 Miles)

cars & bids – 12.15.2023 4:04 PM EST

A Prestige trim level drophead coupe.  The Glacier White metallic body is contrasted with a black soft top and interior with Chestnut Brown leather Comfort seats, layered aluminum/black wood inlays, and a Driver Assistant Package.  The chassis rolls on optional 19” titanium finish wheels.  The supercharged 3.0L V6 wears an APR carbon fiber intake and back pipe, spins a 7-speed S tronic, and has an optional Sport diff.  Please see the listing for more mods.  Carfax reports minor damage in September 2020 but no further details and there is a Lemon Squad inspection report.

2017 Audi A4 Allroad (106,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.16.2023 1:31 PM EST

Another Prestige trim level, this time on a Moonlight Blue metallic long roof.  The black interior is pretty well-optioned with the Driver Assistance and Sport packages.  Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0L I4, factory rated at 252HP/273 lb-ft that connects to a 7-speed S tronic.  Carfax reports minor damage to the rear in November 2017 and June 2018 but no further details.

2020 Audi R8 Performance Spyder (8,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.16.2023 2:44 PM EST

The Performance spec 5.2L V10 is Audi rated at 602HP/413 lb-ft and it sends that power to a 7-speed S tronic.  The Ascari Blue metallic body with black soft top has black badges/rings and carbon fiber front spoiler, rocker inlays, exhaust surrounds, mirror caps, side air intakes, engine lid trim, and rear spoiler.  The black interior has leather seats with red contrasting stitching, B&O sound, and even more carbon fiber trim.  Options include dynamic steering and ceramic brakes.  The Carfax report is clean.

2007 Audi RS 4 Project Car (116,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.17.2023 2:18 PM EST

No Reserve.  The Phantom Black pearl looks good in the pictures but the 4.2L V8 doesn’t run that way.  Please give this listing a thorough read and bone-up on your mechanical knowledge before you bid on this car.  On the positive side, no accidents or damage are reported by Carfax.

2006 Audi TT Coupe 3.2 Special Edition (59,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.17.2023 3:40 PM EST

This Special Edition is one of 99 made to celebrate the 99th anniversary of the first Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man.  It’s finished in Ocean Blue Pearl Effect with a black roof over a black interior featuring Ebony Nappa leather seats, Special Edition glovebox badging, and an Audi Concert CD stereo.  The 3.2L V6 is factory rated at 250HP/236 lb-ft and mates to a 6-speed DSG.  Carfax reports damage to left side in April 2009 and a left door and left fender were the parts requested for repair in May 2009.

2012 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (29,000 Kilometers)

Bring a Trailer – 12.17.2023 4:10 PM EST

This resident of Quebec, Canada, is Suzuka Gray metallic with Ice Silver side blades over a black cabin with Nougat Brown leather seats/door panel inserts, a CD stereo with B&O sound, and an infotainment system with Audi navigation.  The 5.2L V10 (525HP/391 lb-ft) spins a 6-speed manual transaxle and exhales through a Frequency Intelligent exhaust.  There are clean Canadian and US Carfax reports but the seller notes an intermittent tire pressure monitoring system warning light.

2007 Audi RS 4 (106,000 Miles)

cars & bids – 12.19.2023 2:46 PM EST

This fast sedan is finished in Avus Silver pearl over a black interior with silver-piped Silk Nappa leather seats, brushed aluminum trim, and a Premium Package that adds the niceties.  The standard RS 4 drivetrain (4.2L V8 and 6-speed manual) is unmodified as is the Dynamic Ride Control.  It shows its age just a bit but the Carfax report is clean.

2012 Audi A8 L W12 (36,000 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 12.19.2023 3:03 PM EST

The Audi flagship limo in classic black.  The roomy black interior features Driver Assistance, Full Leather, and W12 Executive Rear Seat packages, woodgrain and brushed aluminum inlays, Night Vision Assistant, a rear seat refrigerator, stowable rear-seat tables, heated and ventilated seats with massage, a Bose surround-sound system as well as Audi MMI infotainment with a hideaway navigation screen and rear-seat displays.  All that and a 6.3L W12 (500HP/463 lb-ft) driving an 8-speed Tiptronic too.  A clean Carfax report as well.

2011 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (18,000 Miles)

cars & bids – 12.20.2023 1:51 PM EST

This car last sold in June 2022 on BaT for $131,000.  That’s Daytona Gray pearl with Oxygen Silver sideblades over a black interior with enhanced Nappa leather package and B&O sound.  The 5.2L V10 factory rating is 525HP/391 lb-ft but the Larini Systems exhaust may improves those numbers a bit.  The best part is the 6-speed manual.  It rolls on 20″ BC Forged wheels.  No accidents or damage in the Carfax report but it has 2015 and 2017 date codes on tires.

2013 Audi S6 (42,000 Miles)

2022 Audi RS 6 Avant (14,000 Miles)

cars & bids – 12.20.2023 4:25 PM EST

This car in Mythos Black metallic will always remind me of Darth Vader.  Options are Black Optic, Executive, Driver Assistance, and gray RS Design packages, and sport exhaust for the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (591HP/590 lb-ft) to make its presence known.  The only mod is tinted windows to help keep the black interior’s leather seats, carbon twill inlays, and Bose audio cool.  Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
