I am offering from a private seller, with clean and clear title in hand (with my name on it), a:
2003 Audi Avant 1.8T Quattro AT5

it is still under Audi 12 year warranty against corrosion perforation (not that it has so much as single speck of rust on it)

it came new with following options at the cost of $34,985.00 :
- light silver metallic
- ebony interior (no wood trim!!!)
- automatic 5-speed transmission with Tiptronic
- Premium Package (Glass Sunroof, Homelink Garage Door Opener, Leather Seating Surfaces, 12-way power driver seat)
- 17" cast alloy wheels (just completely redone!!!)
- Bose Premium Sound
- Cold Weather Package (Heated Front Seats, Ski Sack)
- Xenon Headlights
- Rear Side Airbags (rare!!!)

this vehicle is 100% stock with the exception of a custom Y-pipe that was put in to eliminate the stock center section due to a small leak. The custom mandrel bent and welded Y-pipe cost $200 installed at the local speed shop - the VAG part alone costs $380. The rear mufflers still look like brand new and it was not justifiable to go full turboback aftermarket and also not justifiable to spend $380 on a stock center section when a full aftermarket system costs $1000. This has worked out well for me as the new center section (stock diameter) produces a nice low rumble at the sweet spot.

The car has only minor cosmetic blemishes and is mechanically at 100%.
There is a small crack in the driver side seat and some rock chips and minor dents.
It is all pictured (link to pics below).

The timing belt, tensioner and water pump service have been done in a big pre christmas Preventative Maintenance Mission on 12-23-2011.
I had this done at the best independent VAG shop in the country where we
have been taking our cars since we purchased a 1993 Corrado SLC brand new from the showroom.
All the work was done by one of their premier technicians and racer Matt Markowicz.
(winner of the 2010 GTS2 class in - you guessed right - an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro)

major update

 

Quick question.. it cost you $1899.00 to change your Timing Belt at the dealer?...

 

It says exactly what all was replaced and done for that amount. The timing belt was among that, but it was not the only thing.
