**Update: officially for sale! Asking $32,500 obo. Can help with paperwork via dealer to handle transaction, can connect you to shippers with good prices**

Recently bought an B8.5 Audi SQ5 to replace my previous Merc AMG wagon, and while it is amazing (so much better than my 2010 C6 A6 Avant 3.0T!) ...it isn't what I want. Going back for my 4th AMG wagon instead, and going to sell/trade the SQ5. See attached for window sticker, pictures, and a full video walk-around on YouTube at the bottom. More pictures available in a google album, just let me know. Had active Audi CPO warranty (transferable), 40,600 miles currently (less than 1500 miles since I bought it) - glad to share the Audi CPO inspection form, carfax (clean/no accidents/no buyback, I'm the second owner), etc. Looking for the interest from folks on here (if any). For reference, KBB trade-in range ($28,418 - $31,149 as of 6/29 - nothing at or below this would make sense for me), and KBB private party range $33,832 - $37,079 (as of 6/29, not factoring in Audi CPO warranty). If anyone has been looking for a Sepang Blue SQ5, let me know! Located in Orlando, FL. Also have a new, uninstalled Bilstein B16 (PSS10) coil-over set that I will be selling if I don't keep the car. Thanks!

Shes a beauty.

What are the current miles on the vehicle? What are you asking for it other than the ranges you provided?

**uberwag** · 07-01-2020 05:23 AM

Got your PM, responded to that. Updated with miles and a pic of the carfax (glad to send PDF to anyone, just PM your email)! Currently 40,600 miles on it.

Can I ask how would you compare the A6 to the SQ5? You said that the A6 didn't even compare, did it have any work on it or was it stock? I'm looking at a wagon as well and have my eye on an SQ5 or Q5.

I haven't drive the Q5, but the SQ5 is so much snappier than the C6 A6 Avant that I had. On my wagon, it had a pulley, cat-back exhaust, intake, and GIAC tune, and was lowered on springs, and I think the SQ5 is probably faster stock than the wagon was, and handling feels great compared. I think the big difference is the transmission...it is a total game changer because the transmission in the C6 A6 is just not up to the task. The ZF in the SQ5 is a game-changer (part of the reason I bought it was that I had the same ZF 8-speed in my RS7 and my Alfa Giulia Quad, and it was great in both). I feel like the quattro /steering / gearing is more tuned for sportiness as well, but that may just be a feeling. For handling, the shorter wheelbase helps a lot...but honestly if you asked which was lighter, I would have said the SQ5 (even though I just checked and it is a few hundred pounds heavier).

Long story short...unless you are hooked on the wagon vibe/look (which hey, I can't talk obviously), the SQ5 is so much better stock than a tuned C6 A6, and you would never get past the transmission barrier in the Avant. Buy an SQ5, tune it, lower it, don't look back!

I was looking for this exact car in orlando before settling for my b9 S4. While I'm happy with the new car this ad makes me choke up a bit. Glws new owner will be lucky af

Got a lot of great feedback from folks on the car, and have a pretty good feel for value (that is why I love this community btw - have always been good about stuff like this). Officially for sale, asking $32.5k obo. I think the floor is the $30-31k range judging by some of the lower offers I've gotten, and not in enough of a rush to go there. Current mileage 41,134. Some of the better offers/outreach haven't worked out because the logistics of getting the car in the environment we are in...If you want help with shipping quotes, I have a guy, glad to check them out. Also if you need help financing (or just want the confidence of someone doing the paperwork), I have a dealer locally that could broker for us.

Adding a few more pictures from yesterday (got around to washing my cars), along with another short youtube video because...well, just because this paint color is REALLY growing on me, and I love how the Sepang Blue Pearl changes in the sun.

Updated title to change from "feeler" to "for sale" to be clear - officially selling it! The coil overs are still available for now if someone interested in the car wants them, but pending to someone if not.
