Used Car of the Day: 2004 Audi Allroad

by Tim Healey

Published: November 7th, 2022

A wagon with a manual transmission? Only one owner? Under 130K miles? Only $11,000?

Pinch us, we're dreaming.

This 2004 Audi Allroad has a 2.7T engine and the owner claims it has been well maintained, getting oil changes even more often than recommended by the factory. Apparently, the air suspension works just fine, too.

A manual-transmission wagon is like car-enthusiast catnip. The only thing this one is missing is a brown paint job.

If you're interested, this car is housed in Colorado.

Wagons ho!

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

If I want a car to vacuum out my wallet, it should be Italian. I wouldn't pay anything for this Car of Guaranteed Sadness.

Every time I see one of these, I can't help but to remember the old meme created from Richard Anderson (MacGyver) standing beside his broken AllRoad. I can honestly say I've not seen a nice one of these since 4 years after they were new releases, and it's realistically been probably 4 years since I've seen one on the road.

  I had to look that meme up...too funny. The reality is that Audis aren't non-fixable. Far from it, matter of fact. The problem is that they're gawdawful expensive to fix, and they're finicky even after the repair.

Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh weird.. nobody wants to be a cop after cops get held accountable.. And no, this has nothing to do with the ''urban myth of defunding'', the funding reductions in this very article come from a reduction in crime during the pandemic (googlze)... and the voting ''people'' of Floridia not allowing funding increases in a vastly right leaning state, and desantis himself rejecting federal funding according to the googlze ... only top have desantis then TAKE covid relief funds from ARPA (also googlze) .. have fun .. wont be reading any replies since this will bring out all the conspiracy theories, secret cabals, gay mice and gay beer book burners
The Oracle Seems fruitless, Tesla’s German giga presses will be churning out front & rear chassis/body modules in no time, and in record numbers.
Jeff The Chinese automakers have come to other markets but I doubt they will be allowed in the US at least anytime soon. Most of the Chinese plants are newer and more automated than the US plants and they have learned how to build vehicles from the US and other automakers. Its a combination of Chinese Government support for their automakers and that Chinese automakers have improved their quality and have more automated and modern plants. US automakers and others are losing market share to Chinese automakers in the Chinese market.
Chris P Bacon I've only seen a few of them on the road so far. Do you think the transmission makes a difference? I'm not interested in anything with a CVT, so the base models are a no go, and the top model is just too pricey. Maybe as a certified pre-owned? My local dealer has a 23 Platinum AWD with 4k miles listed for $48k. Not that it's an issue for Toyota, but it's got 31 months of warranty left, plus another 12 month/12k miles. The dealer is including 4 years/50k miles service. If I were in the market, I'd take a look.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Not original, thus not collectable. Too much $$$.
