Audi Club Auction Watch: 12.18.2025
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.
There are only two auctions ending today (Thursday): a 2020 Q5 and a modified 2001 S4 Avant in rare Santorin Blue. The next three listings end one per day: a 2012 A5 Coupe, a modified 2014 S4, and a 2015 Q7. Before the next car listing, do you have enough Christmas decorations? How about a lighted R8 sign, or even better, two lighted Audi signs? Check them out below, both with no reserve. There are a trio of R8 V10 Spyders this week with mileage, I’d call them high-quality drivers. This week’s import is an RS 4 Avant that came to the U.S. from France this summer. My build of the week is the 2019 RS 3 pictured above, Stage 3 mods and the car even starred in a video from The Smoking Tire. Check all these cars and the rest of this week’s 18 listing below, remember to click on the smaller pictures to enlarge them. As always, thanks for reading.
This week’s relists are:
This extensively modified 2002 S4 listed on BaT in early November where it bid to $17,500. Now on C&B, it’s Nogaro Blue over Onyx with blue Alcantara seats inserts and has 54,500 miles. The twin-turbo 2.7L V6 is built to Stage 3 level with numerous mods. The clean Carfax lists three previous owners and no accidents/damage but please read the listings Known Flaws section. This no reserve auction ends 12.19.2025 at 2:14 PM EST.
Here’s a 2018 S6 that listed on BaT and bid to $22k in early December but didn’t sell. Now this Mythos Black over Arras Red Valcona leather is listed on Pcarmarket. It’s a Prestige trim-level, has 86k miles, and runs Audi Club sponsor APR’s Stage 1 ECU and TCU tunes which was disclosed in the final BaT listing’s comment. Please read that listing’s comments if bidding on this auction that ends 12.22.2025 at 3:00 PM EST.

Illuminated R8 Sign
Bring a Trailer – 12.22.2025 2:06 PM EST
No Reserve. This festive potentially Christmas yard decoration is approximately 44″ wide by 17″ tall by 2.5″ deep and is said to have been used as a promotional piece at the 2016 Canadian International AutoShow. It weighs about 18 pounds, has LED bulbs, and runs on 120-volts but it’s probably not a good idea to mount it outside. But if you own an R8 and have garage wall space—bid on it!

And here’s the third of those spyders, also in Phantom Black pearl with a black soft top over black. The seats are Fine Nappa leather and the leather on the doors is holding up much better on this example. Also inside are Carbon fiber Sigma trim and a scratched infotainment screen (see photo #128). This one has the same drivetrain as above (5.2L V10 and 6-speed R tronic) but the V10 badges are no longer on the car’s front fenders. The four rings are also gone from the hood.
