I have for sale my dark green 1997 Audi A8 Quattro sedan. I purchased this car for my girlfriend but she wanted something smaller so I found her an A6 instead. There are a few odds and ends that could be addressed to make this an excellent daily driver but as it sits now it is a solid running vehicle for the price and vintage. The original engine has a bit over 142000 miles on it currently. The crucial timing belt service was performed at 110,771 miles on 12/27/2010 and included replacement of the water pump and thermostat. The transmission was rebuilt at approximately 85,000 miles and the transmission filter and fluid was recently completed. A new battery was installed in 8/2013. The tires are a matching set of OEM sized Kumho Solus KR21s. Brake pads front and rear are recently replaced and have plenty of life left of them and in the rotors in all four corners are in good shape as well. I'm sure I am missing a lot of details on maintenance but I will try to provide as many pictures of receipts as possible. The exterior isn't perfect but it looks very good for an 18 year old car. The car has been in the southwest it's whole life and has not one speck of rust or corrosion. There are scratches and imperfections but the car still cleans up very nicely. The front bumper has a few cracks in it but the biggest one was in the center on the bottom and I managed to use a drill and two zip ties to "fix" it to make it look more presentable. The previous owner had the car repainted because the original clear coat began to oxidize due to intense desert sun. The light cream colored leather seats are in great shape as well as the rest of the interior. There are no cracks in the dash. The car has both cold climate package and warm weather package. The four heated seats work. The front seats both have several memory options and are adjustable so many different ways. The headrests are operated via switch but they do not work. It is a common problem and there is an easy do-it-yourself fix for it to be found several places on line. The rear sunshade is sporadic and sometimes needs a nudge to move into position. The rear seat's center armrest has a pass-thru opening into the trunk to fit long items such as skiis or poles. It is amazing how many options can be found on this Audi! The rear windows both have manual sunshades. The glass on this vehicle is dual-paned for better insulation and sound deadening. The sunroof functions as it should. The steering wheel electronically adjusts and can be set to each driver's liking using the memory seat option. The car has power door locks, side mirrors, windows, steering, etc. The window regulator on the rear driver's side is currently not working; the other three windows go up and down as should. I have one key and one remote but the remote needs a new battery. The factory radio and CD changer are all original and still work surprisingly well. There are no dead pixels on the LCD display as is fairly common with these D2 generation A8s. The only other issues I can think of are the ABS and Brake lights are both on in the dash because the left front speed sensor needs to be replaced. The previous owner had the problem diagnosed but since it doesn't hinder the car's drivability he left it alone. Also, the AC and heat both work exceedingly well but the auxiliary fan is intermittent and it will need to be replaced if you want the cold or hot air to blow at you from the vents. I cannot think of anything else. I will add more information to the listing if anything comes to mind. We would keep this vehicle but we live in an apartment and just don't have the space to park it. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I am located in Reno, NV if you are nearby and would like to come by for a test drive. I will assist the buyer in anyway I can; however, shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Thank you so very much for looking.
