Default 2001 Torch Red A4 coupe ....Beautiful...PRICE REDUCED!

I have decided to finally sell my pride and joy. I am 66yo and have some medical issues.

It is a 2001 Auto to which I have added some very tasteful additions.
It has a gentle 51,000 miles on the odometer.

The mods are:
I decided to put a GM (Corvette) 3:42 rear end (brand new from the factory, not a regeared one)

Bilstein Sport shocks.

Z06 sway bars front and back.

Poly bushings

Metal end links

Corsa Indy Catback exhaust with Tiger shark tips.

CCW 505A wheels 18" front and 19" rear (these wheels are approx. $700 each)

BF Goodrich KDW II tires

Drilled and slotted brake rotors with matching body color hubs.

Vararam Ram Air

Optima Battery (red)

"Corvette Essentials" custom made leather covered seats http://www.vetteessentials.com/
(look up the price that custom leather goes for.)

Has heads up display

Lloyds embossed mats front and cargo area

Beautiful very well polished finish, garage kept and driven very infrequently just to keep the fluids moving.

Just had Delco AC Iridium plugs installed.

Have only used Mobil One oil and high flow filters.

Had cooling system flushed recently.

Had transmission fluid replaced with synthetic at 25,000 miles

and the new rear end filled with synthetic also.

The rubber seals near the windows I always kept soft and new looking with a light coating of electrolytic grease. (A little trick I learned about).....they all look brand new.

I live in Florida and have owned it since 2004. It has been in the rain only 4 times. (just couldn't get to the garage fast enough!)
It's very clean underneath!

I have one picture from a car show that I will try to post; I will post more tomorrow (if it stops raining, so I can pull it out of the garage!)

You can email me at mmargotta@tampabay.rr.com if interested; then I can email you my phone number if you'd like to converse directly.

I'm asking $24,500....PRICE REDUCED TO $22,000

Thanks for reading! Please forgive the quality of the pictures as the humidity in Forida can compromise a camera lens.

about listing the option s or option packages? 1sc, etc? Maybe a pic of the build sticker or MSRP sticker?
Thanks,

Here's the sticker from inside the glove compartment.
Keep in mind the 3:42 rear replaced the original 2:73 and the HUD display was added afterwards.

Thanks, Mike

Beautiful car. In my opinion you are asking way to much. Granted you have a lot of add ons, which do not really increase the value. We are looking for something similar to yours in the $18 - $20 price bracket. There are many out there. This is just my opinion, good luck with the sell.

It is a 2001 Auto to which I have added some very tasteful additions.

... and expensive additions too. Looks to be a beautiful car & you've made it even better. Hope your health improves. GLWS!

your phone # at palmetto.10@hotmail.com. Number of questions. Car lowered? Paint condition , any codes, lights? , etc. I am a private funded buyer and am still looking for an A4, red, silver or white though I do prefer a vert, I can do a coupe.
It should go at a bit of a premium over KBB and NADA.

I am in SC so I could come do a deal in person. I am an old fart who is looking for something to baby and play with as a sometimes driver.
