Audi Allroad QUATRO, in excellent condition apart from the issues which have forced me to sell. This car has been regularly serviced and maintained from new. The body is clean and the interior is virtually perfect.
This car is perfect for someone with the skills and patience to fix the issues, or for someone with an existing Allroad looking for reconditioned engine (at least $6k have been told by my mechanic) 

Suspension work in 2013 and 2015, front and back breaks overhauled in 2015.
Recent History:Car had oil leak decided to take to an official Audi dealer in Sydney. Quoted $1200 to fix and that is where problems started although good result for the ultimate Ebay buyer. Final bill after weeks was nearly 5X initial quote due to other issues and timing belt being done at the same time apparently just for parts as they completely misdiagnosed the extent of issues and were forced to rebuild at their labour expense (Invoice available). 
Thus THE ENGINE HAS BEEN EFFECTIVELY REBUILT RECONDITIONED - no more oil leaks, and INCLUDING TIMING BELT.
Unfortunately according to Audi within weeks after returning my car my to me in October of 2016 (and after all the repair issues), my radiator failed coincidentally, and as result my radiator coolant is being contaminated likely by transmission fluid. Therefor the radiator will likely need to be replaced (the existing one cost me under $1,000 in 2014) and the transmission will need major work if water has mixed, and there are signs in the driving that make this possibility. am beyond continuing my disagreement with Audi, the NRMA reckon the engine oil is fine thus pointing to the diagnosis above, rather than an extension of the damage that occurred (and was acknowledged) while the engine was being fixed. have not had confirmation whether it is in fact transmission rather than engine oil it would likely be win for the purchaser if this (engine oil) was the case. 
Other major issue is that the airbag suspension level control is faulty. If car is parked on an angle (apparently) this will cause the car to flatten after while. If car is not driven regularly it may also flatten. However as the car is driven, the pump will re-inflate to normal operating levels and will remain there. It is concern and inconvenient, but it was an issue have been managing with as the cost of repair for me is likely more that the inconvenience factor. (Also, car has not been driven regularly since Christmas, likely the battery is dead but NRMA had it running fine this week.)
Overall, if you have the expertise and or the inclination this is really excellent car. Plenty of go in the turbo engine, all electricals are working, full leather interior, wagon functionality, sunroof, all wheel drive lots of features that drew me to it few years ago. And no expected surprises am as upfront as can be with the known issues so you should get exactly what you buy. Hopefully someone will see the potential, take it on, and have at least few really good years use.
