find of the day: OEM Plus Green A6 allroad on Cars & Bids (Spoiler Alert)

[gallery columns="1" size="full" link="file" ids="87556"] In the Audi lineup, the C8 A6 allroad is an unsung hero. Crossovers tend to get all the volume, but the A6 allroad takes up a special place. Its presence allowed the RS 6 to be federalized, and it's a substantive long roof in its own right, with turbocharged V6 and adjustable air suspension. And at about half the price of the RS 6, it's a veritable bargain. So is it an RS 6-light then? Well, in some specs that's a reach but in the spec o...

find of the day: Perfect Spec B5 S4 Avant

[gallery columns="1" size="full" link="file" ids="87052"] There's no doubt it's getting harder and harder to find a good B5 S4. So many were either modified or driven hard, with mileage or wear being costly concerns. Finding a clean one, much less one in a perfect spec like Nogaro Blue with blue Alcantara interior and 5-speed manual can be a near impossibility. So, when we see what looks like a good example, we raise the flag with a find of the day. [gallery columns="1" size="full" link="file"...

By 2006, the last year for the ‘8N’ generation, sales plummeted to just 954 units as Audi ramped up for the launch of the second-gen TT.

find of the day: Built OEM Plus Audi 200 20V Avant on BaT Ends in Hours

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="86549"] If you're a fan of the so-called "Large Chassis Audi" segment (anything C or D segment, typically older) then you'll know that a 1991 Audi 200 20V Avant is one of the most sought-after. This was the last of the C3-generation for Audi, and it was the only year where the 200 got the more robust 20-valve (3B) 5-cylinder turbo. A manual transmission was the only choice, assuring this would be a wagon enthusiast's car like few others. Only 150 Avants wer...

find of the day: Nogaro Blue RS 6 Tribute on CarsAndBids

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85712"] When Audi launched the current RS 6 Avant into the U.S. market in 2021, it led the charge with the "RS Tribute Edition", a model built to pay homage to the iconic RS2 of the 1990s. Only 25 examples were built to an identical spec, featuring Nogaro Blue paint, red brake calipers, silver optic 5-spoke wheels, black optic trim, and blue-stitched interior with additional leather on surfaces such as seat base sides.

find of the day: Savage Garage’s Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 Rally Car Tribute on Bring-A-Trailer

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85654"] An Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 rally car is a priceless thing, so the building of replicas has become a much repeated art for those who want their own versions of Audi's most bonkers Group B rally car. In theory then, you could buy one, build it and run it without the concerns of hurting something priceless. It's a grand idea. Case in point is this specimen, reportedly built in Poland out of a 1984 Audi 80 chassis. It's popped up for sale on Bring-...

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85593"] Want to win any 90s focused cars & coffee or Radwood? Seeking to be the most obscure car with Audi heritage for your garage? We think we may have found a car that qualifies. It's a Treser TR1 Roadster and it's currently for sale in Bauntatal, Germany. So yes, you'd need to import it via the likes of Jamie Orr, but it was produced in 1988 so it wouldn't be that hard to accomplish all things considered. As a quick recap, Walter Treser established...

find of the day: 27K Mile C5 A6 2.7T quattro

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85451"] One of the interesting phenomena of the modern Bring-A-Trialer style auction site era is the low mileage and well-preserved specimens that surface with a surprisingly regular pace. Those cars that were purchased then driven at a rate much lower than the national average create a veritable treasure trove of perfect specimens for collectors with very specific tastes. So, if you're looking for a C5 A6 to add to your collection, this one may be for yo...

find of the day: Nogaro Blue RS e-tron GT at Audi Lancaster

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85416"] The RS e-tron GT is new enough in Audi of America's lineup that tailored Audi exclusive versions are still relatively rare. So, when they do pop up, we definitely take notice... especially if it's an iconic and sought-after color like Nogaro Blue. This particular version is especially interesting, because it's both highly desirable and new inventory (so available). It's currently sitting in inventory at Audi Lancaster in central Pennsylvania. Yes, ...

find of the day: V10-Swapped C6 A6 Avant on Bring a Trailer

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85282"] While the V10-powered C6 S6 was never sold in Avant form in North America, it was in Europe and made for one of the coolest long roof Audi Q-ships to date. No doubt many have thought about converting the rare but accessible C6 A6 Avant to S6 spec. A few have even taken the plunge. Take for example the car you see here, built for a customer German AutoHaus in Woodinville, WA to an incredible spec. Oh yeah, it's available right now on Bring a Trailer...

find of the day: Clean Imola B5 S4 Avant on BaT

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="85134"] There's this bridge time for classic cars that moves from old and affordable so ripe for modification, on to old and in need of expensive repairs that may not happen, then on to old and classic where pristine and unmodified condition can pay off in spades. The B5-generation A4/S4/RS 4 is definitely reaching the latter status. So, when a clean example of an S4 Avant shows up on Bring a Trailer, it's worth noting... and watching. This example ...
