URS6 Avant - Clean, stock 152,000 miles

[jb1856]

am selling my 1995.5 URS6 Avant because I recently had an opportunity to buy a low mileage V70R and jumped on it. I purchased the URS6 in December of 2010, and had planned on doing an RS2 conversion as I have had two URS4's in the past and I enjoy working and upgrading them. I have a 2000 BMW M coupe as a summer car, and that has ended up taking up a lot of my tinkering time in the summer, so the work on the URS has really been focused on getting all the engine accessories into good repair so I would be able to start adding the go-fast bits.

I have owned it for 14 months, and in that time, I have put in over $5,000 on maintenance and upgrades that will increase the car's reliability and fun factor. For a full price buyer, I will include all the spares listed below as well. Email me for an excel list of all maintenance completed under my and previous owner's tenure.

The car has around 151,000 miles (still driving it in town on the weekends, so mileage is going up...but slowly). The car was parked since December as I have been driving the V70r. The following is a summary of the recent maintenance done by myself as well as the previous owner.

$7,500

I also have:

- 17" avus wheels with dunlop graspic snows with a season's use for sale for $400 with car purchase (wheels do not have center caps, and have been painted).

- 034 Stage 1+ kit including extra ECU, rs2 injectors, and wastegate spring. $700 with car purchase

Specs:

1995.5 - no lockable differential
+/- 152,000 Miles (driving in-town only now, so mileage won't go up much).

Stock 16" Avus wheels with continental all seasons with one summer left on them. (I had planned on going larger, but never did, and instead of buying new 16" tires and increasing the price, I thought I'd let the new buyer decide the direction they wanted to go).
Porsche Boxter front calipers with A8 rotors, and remanufactured rear Audi calipers
Chrome mirrors
Last three owners (including myself) have been Audi enthusiasts, so this car has been very well maintained in my opinion.

I am very picky about my cars, but I also want to be honest for potential buyers. My opinion as to the issues that the car has:

- There look to be two light bulbs out in the dash - one half of the speedometer is darker than the other half, and the gas gauge is definitely darker than it should be. Three spare light bulbs are included as part of the spares.
- The Bomb is probably on its way out, as I periodically get the "brake" light staying on for a while after I start the car. I am including a rebuilt Bomb that the new buyer can install at their leisure. I have never had any brake pressure issue.
- I had a 034 1.8t coil conversion kit installed, but the car never really liked those coils. Around town, it was great, but when I got on the highway it would hiccup every once in a while when off throttle. I ended up chasing every logical boost leak, throttle position, spark issue, and in the end, it went away when the stock coils were reinstalled. A plus is that I think there is better throttle response now for whatever reason.
- Cruise doesn't work. I was hoping that the new steering column switch would fix the problem as there was an issue with the bright lights (that the new switch fixed), but that didn't happen. I haven't really started to dig any further
- The mechanical actuator on the drivers side door lock doesn't work. You need to turn the key twice to get the lock to unlock, as that triggers the central locking system. Happened on my URS4 as well, and wasn't something that was high my list of things to address.
- The driver's side seat heater doesn't work. The other three do.
- The gas pedal cover is off.
- As the pictures show, the driver's seat has wear, and is starting to show, with a small hole in the seat back, and in the outer bolster. It is definitely not as bad as some I've seen, but it isn't as nice as the passenger seat or rears.
- The sunroof sometimes needs to be "helped" to close. It never opens on its own, so It isn't a switch issue, rather I think it is more a track lubrication issue - if you follow it with your hand as it closes, it works fine.
- The clear coat on the on the original hood and roof had begun to oxidize. A couple months ago I sourced a replacement hood from Force 5, and installed that. The paint and clear coat are in a LOT better shape than the stock hood, but there are some scratches that look to have occurred while they were storing it. It does have a couple small chips that have light surface rust, but overall, it looks a lot better than the original hood, just because of the better clear coat. I still have the original hood, which a buyer is welcome to have for free - so buyer can decide which hood they'd rather have.
- I also recently replaced the rear hatch because the stock hatch had some rust bubbles and the metal behind the license plate lights had begun to rust badly. The new hatch has a better interior panel, and the exterior looks a lot better. Like the hood, it has a couple paint chips that have light surface rusting. a light sanding and some touch up paint would be enough to make them virtually invisible.
- There is a spot of rust on the front left fender on the inner face. (See pictures), but I am including a spare green fender that has less rust, but needs a good buffing before it could be installed. The current fender rust has not progressed to where it is visible outside the wheel arch, and it has not eaten through the structure of the fender.
- The bumpers have some scratches and bumps marks, but not bad for a 17 year old car. The rest of the paint is in good condition, but again, there are marks that are typical for a 17 year old car.


I will be out of town, but will have my cell and computer with me from April 7th through 12th. Please don't hesitate to email or call, and i'll get back to you as soon as is possible (family vacation where i'm supposed to "relax").

lmk if you dont sell it and want to lower the price.. I talked to you already and it is very far over KBB and especially NADA value even given the rarity of it i would never pay 7500 for it

[Bar_tender]

I just sold a super clean 95 blk avant to a member on QW for 8K that had Rs2 bits and full stromung and mint paint...your 7500 is never going to happen. I think 5-5500.00 is more reasonable considering your interior is just plain worn out .

Plus the rear of your car is sagging because you didn't use the ECS 20mm spring perch.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. Your price estimate was off the mark for what it's worth.
