find of the day: 2008 Audi exclusive RS 4 Sedan in Phantom Black Pearl

words: Bill Cho, photos: Kelly Motorcars Every once in awhile (ok, pretty much every day), I look for cool cars for sale on the internet. Today, I ran across this 2008 RS 4. I see RS 4s come up for sale on a regular basis but what caught my eye on this one was the mileage listed- an almost unbelievable 9,650 miles. I say almost unbelievable because there isn't an actual photo of the odometer with the car on in the ad. The second thing I noticed was that this RS 4 is an Audi exclusive m...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="92920"] photos: Bring a Trailer + Cars & Bids Maybe you've seen RM Sotheby's messaging the heck out of The White Collection, an obscenely big collection of mainly white Porsches by a Houston collector that will now be sold off. And while that's all well and good, we also happened to notice a theme taking shape this week in our "Audi" search notification list from auction sites Bring A Trailer and Cars & Bids.

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="71768"] words: Bill, photos: Craigslist Well this is something new. First of all, I can't remember when I've actually featured a FOTD from Craigslist (remember when we could find all the cool stuff there?) and secondly, a collection of 8 DKWs for sale? Here's the ad: I lost my lease and need to sell all these DKW's. The past owner lost some engine blocks. There are only 3 or 4 blocks. I have all the heads and carbs, trannys etc. There are 8 cars....

Find of the Year: ACNA Founder Frank Beddor’s Personal Audi Sport quattro on Bring a Trailer

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="102396"] It's not every day that a 1984 Audi Sport quattro comes up for sale. With just 214 built in period to Group B rally homologation specification, they were exhorbinantly expensive in period and remain the top-priced modern production Audi in the market. Even still, some of these are extra special due to their specification or their history. In the case of Chassis WAUZZZ85ZEA90557, it has both. The car you see here is one of the cars ...

FOTD: Uber Rare ABT B3 Widebody Barn Find in Switzerland

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="101111"] While well-loved by those who know, the B3 era isn't a car that tends to be the most collectible. Sure, there was the S2 Coupe in Europe and by association (and thanks in part to Brian Scotto) the Coupe quattro gets love. The sedans though... they almost seem forgotten about by all but the most ardent. So, when we find one that is truly rare or collectible and a barn find no less, we had to draw attention to it. Even by B3 standards, the car y...
