Used Car of the Day: 2004 Audi Allroad

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.

  • Tassos OK Corey. I went and saw the photos again. Besides the fins, one thing I did not like on one of the models (I bet it was the 59) was the windshield, which looked bent (although I would bet its designer thought it was so cool at the time). Besides the too loud fins. The 58 was better.
