BaT Auction: 2002 Audi S4 Avant 6-Speed

This 2002 Audi S4 Avant is finished in Santorin Blue Pearl over Silver Silk Nappa leather and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive. Equipment includes later-model 18″ wheels, xenon headlights, a glass sunroof, heated and power-adjustable front sport seats, automatic climate control, and a Bose premium audio system with an Audi Symphony AM/FM/CD stereo. The car was first registered in Colorado and is said to have remained with the first owner until it was acquired by the seller in October 2020. Subsequent work consisted of changing the engine oil and replacing the right rear wheel bearing, left rear axle seal, coolant reservoir, front brake hoses, and front inner and outer tie rods. This B5 S4 Avant has 58k miles and is offered in Colorado with removed factory wheels, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Santorin Blue Pearl (5J) and features S4-specific bumpers and side skirts along with xenon headlights, bright-finished roof rails and trim, polished twin exhaust outlets, and a glass sunroof. A crack is present on the front license plate filler panel as well as an indentation on the passenger-side rear door, and chipping on the windshield and driver-side front door.

Later-model 18″ Audi/Speedline wheels are mounted with studded 225/40 Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires. The removed factory 17″ Avus wheels accompany the car and are shown fitted to the car in the photo gallery below. Work in 2020 included replacing the front brake hoses, right rear wheel bearing, left rear axle seal, and front inner and outer tie rods.

The cabin features seating trimmed in Silver Silk Nappa leather (AD) with matching door panel inserts and a black dashboard, trim, and carpets. Additional amenities include wood trim, automatic climate control, and a Bose premium audio system with an Audi Symphony AM/FM/CD stereo. A video tour of the interior is provided here.

The S4-specific steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,900-rpm redline, and a digital information screen. The digital odometer indicates 58k miles, approximately 1k of which were added by the seller. The digital information screen is missing pixels and is depicted in the photo gallery below.

The twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 was factory rated at 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A timing belt service is said to have last been performed in 2004, and the clutch was replaced in 2009. Recent work in 2020 carried out by Circle A Auto Repair of Eagle, Colorado included changing the engine oil and replacing the coolant reservoir.

Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Colorado and Massachusetts.
