  • Market Find: “1 of 1” Citrus Yellow Audi RS 5 in Jacksonville

    Market Find: “1 of 1” Citrus Yellow Audi RS 5 in Jacksonville

    What: 2022 Audi RS 5 Sportback
    Color: Citrus Yellow (zitronengelb; non-metallic UNI; LY1G; Audi)
    VIN: WUAAWDF55NA900944
    Mileage: 24,832
    Price: $73,995
    CarFax: N/A
    Window Sticker: See Listing Link
    Location: Audi Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL
    Listing: Link

    The dealer listing for this car suggests the car is one of one. While we’ve not been able to confirm that claim, we do know that Citrus Yellow is not as common in Audi exclusive parlance as say a Vegas Yellow or an Imola Yellow.

    From photos, the color appears to be more on the buttery side, not quite as gold as Vegas, or even more venturing toward orange as Imola. That said, the exterior shots of this car make it seem far less intense as it does in the door jams on the interior shots. If you’re curious, this is one we’d recommend seeing in person. Check it out at Audi Jacksonville.

  • Market Find: Audi SQ5 in Porsche Mahogany Metallic

    Market Find: Audi SQ5 in Porsche Mahogany Metallic

    What: 2022 Audi SQ5
    Color: Porsche Mahogany Metallic (mahogonimetallic; metallic uni; M8Y / Y8; Porsche)
    VIN:  WA1C4AFY6N2057975
    Mileage: 34,784 Miles
    Price: $51,995
    CarFax: N/A, see website for AutoCheck
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Jacksonville, FL
    Listing: Audi Jacksonville

    It may be subtle, but this Audi SQ5 represents a double dose of rare decisions in the tailored ordering segment. First, going with a subtle color like Brown takes an extra commitment to the decision given the extra money to go with special paint may be lost on many who see the car. Second, going across brand borders into the palette of another manufacturer, in this case Porsche, suggests even more commitment given that likely makes the special paint that much more of a financial commitment.

    Porsche Mahagony Metallic over grey is a particularly handsome and yet understated combination to be sure. Well played to the original buyer. The SQ5 now sits in inventory at Audi Jacksonville.

    If you’re curious about the car and the color and aren’t local enough to go see it in person, we’d suggest googling it. These photos are low light, making the car appear almost black or dark grey. In our experience Mahogany Metallic is much richer in person than it appears in these photos.

  • Market Find: Audi exclusive Brilliant Red B8.5 A4 allroad

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Brilliant Red B8.5 A4 allroad

    What: 2016 Audi A4 allroad
    Color: Brilliant Red (brilliantrot; metallic uni; Y3J; Audi)
    VIN:  WA1UFAFL7GA002849
    Mileage: 68,678

    The B8.5-generation Audi allroad is from an interesting time at Audi. Sandwitched as it was between the departure of the A4 Avant S line (A4)and predating the arrival of the RS 6 Avant (C8), the A4 allroad represented quite literally the only station wagon for several years. This placed the focus of many enthusiasts on a model that, at least in Europe, would have been rather boring. It doesn’t matter, they were loved and not uncommonly ordered in tailored specification like this Audi exclusive Brilliant Red example.

    Nowadays, these cars represent a solid value. As a result, they tend to be hard to find unmodified, low mileage and well kept. This car appears to check all those boxes, with just over 68,000 miles on it and appearing to be unmodified. For someone seeking a budget Avant, you may want to contact Audi Salt Lake City as soon as possible..
