2005 S4 - Tip - NH
This car is the Tiptronic and has black leather interior and carbon fiber trim. I have taken as good of care of this car as was possible but one or both of the two previous owners did not. That being said, the paint could definitely use some touch-ups on the hood and in a couple of the regular spots (the only real problem is fading clear coat and normal wear and tear (ie paint chipped on fender lips and front bumper). The interior is in great condition except for a missing trim cover piece on the center console and normal wear on the driver's seat (I try to keep the seats treated with a leather conditioner).
I've owned the car since spring of 2012 and have put a good deal of work into it.
Maintenance I've done (above regular 5,000 oil changes and filter cleanings):
-ITG drop-in air filter (Spring 2012)
-New OEM radiator (Spring 2014)
-Valve Cover gaskets (Spring 2014)
-NGK Spark Plugs (Spring 2014)
-Accessory Belt (Spring 2014)
-New transmission filter and fluid (Spring 2014)
-New brake pads on front (I have rear pads that will go with the car unless I get time to put them in)(Spring 2014)
-Rebuilt both front CV axles(Spring 2014)
-Both front wheel speed sensor (Summer 2014)
-Fuel Filter (Fall 2014)
-Tie Rods - both outers (3/15/2015)
-ABS Module Replaced (3/15/2015)
-Clock Spring Replaced (3/15/2015)
Aftermarket/Non-Maintenance Parts:
-Revo Stage 1 ECU reflash (done at Streamline Ind. in Salt Lake City, Utah to help with lower octane fuel) (Spring 2012)
-iSimple iPod (30-pin) integration kit and Aux Input (Spring 2012)
-Helo 845 wheels 18x8 (currently on the car, Spring 2012)
-Air Box Mod via (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ox+mod)(Summer 2014)
-H&R Sport lowering springs (Stock springs will go with car, if wanted)(Summer 2014)
-034 Motorsports adjustable upper control arms (Summer 2014)
-ECS Tuning Snub mount and Zero-Gap cradle (Spring 2014)
-Smoked Side Markers (I still have the stock clears as well, Fall 2014)
-Clear-Cornered Stock Headlights (Summer 2015)
The Bad:
-Front passenger door blade had to be cleaned out and put back together (at one point the center was bowing out but now it is almost flush)
-The seat belt light currently stays on after start up but goes off after just a few minutes. (My assumption is that there is a bad connection under the driver's seat, but I don't have anywhere to work on the car to make sure.)
-Fading clear coat, rock chips in regular places.
-Very small power steering leak (I add a little fluid every 3-4 months)
-Timing Chains (I have no records of them being done, but I have not had any issues since I've owned the car.)
-Missing rear ash tray cover
-Emergency Triangle holder is broken
-A/C could probably use a check-up/recharge (I haven't used the A/C in quite awhile, I prefer to have the windows down)
When I bought this car it had about 127,000 miles. Since I have owned it, I have added about 40,000 miles (~10,000 per year) including multiple cross-country trips. This car has never given my any issues other than small cracks forming in the radiator which I replaced before it could become a problem. While I had the front end torn off, I also cleaned as much of the engine I could reach to help watch for any leaks, replaced the snub mount and cradle, replaced the valve cover gaskets, and flushed the transmission and replaced the filter.
I also have a set of the stock wheels with a newer all-seasons that I have only used for one season. They are not in the best shape (should be able to be refinished) so I use them as my winter set. They will go with the car for the right price. I will not sell them separately.
I have loved this car and hate to sell it, but my wife and I are moving back to Utah and cannot take two cars and a truck at the same time. The pictures on this ad are old, but I will get current ones uploaded as soon as the snow stops here.
