Hello all,
Year : 2011
Make : Audi
Model : A4
Odometer: 61,549 Miles (Using it as my daily so will creep up slightly)
Location: Queens, NY
Shipping: No
Price: $13,000 OBO
I replaced my wastegate and added a new clip in hopes of it solving the P0299 code, but sadly it did come back on. Which is why I'm reducing the asking price.
Time for me to get a new car and having to sell my car.
First off, I know many will wonder why I'm selling the car. It runs perfectly fine and I've been well maintaining it. I'm relocating to a new job in the city and have no need for a modified car at the moment and looking for something newer as well.
I use this car for my everyday driving such as work, school, and going out. Current mileage on the vehicle is 61,549 miles.
Paint wise, from Fair -> Good -> Great -> Excellent. It's good as there are some cosmetics that would need some touching up. Any questions please let me know.

Personal comments on the car as I don't want any hidden things to pop up so I'm going to be as honest as possible:
Oil consumption tests were performed by Audi of Lynbrook
Buyer will receive a copy of the two invoices as proof and future reference
Oil Consumption Test Part 1 done on April 8th, 2017 at 46,960 miles
Replaced breather valve
Replaced front crankshaft seal
Oil Consumption Test Part 2 done on June 20th, 2017 at 47,786 miles
Replaced piston and piston rings
Replaced all gaskets and seals
Replaced timing chain tensioner and cambridge
The splitter rods are inside the bumper slightly due to my father borrowing my car and going up a ramp straight in [headbang]
Passenger side mirror is cracked which happened while replacing the dynamic turn signal lights
Cleaned my car weekly depending on the weather
Buffed twice a year
Regular oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles only using Liqui-Molly 5W-40 and MANN Filter
Have been following Audi recommended Maintenance Schedule along with tuner recommendations [Link] (https://www.audiusa.com/content/dam/audiusa/Documents/maintenance-schedules/MY%202011%20Audi%20USA%20Scheduled%20Maintenance_N EW%20FORMAT_5-11-2018.pdf)
If you are in NY and worried about the New York State Inspection, you will be able to pass as long as you switch to the stock profile and drive roughly 50-100 miles. I have done this the past couple of years and had no issue.
