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.

W Conrad Sedans have been fine for me, but I were getting a new car, it would be an SUV. Not only because less sedans available, but I can't see around them in my sedan!
Slavuta More hatchbacks
ED I don't know what GM is thinking.I have a 2020 one nice vehicle.Got rid of Camaro and was going to buy one.Probably won't buy another GM product.Get rid of all the head honchos at GM.This company is a bunch of cheapskates building junk that no one wants.
Lostjr Sedans have been made less practical, with low rooflines and steeply raked A pillars. It makes them harder to get in and out of. Probably harder to put a kid in a child seat. Sedans used to be more family oriented.
Bob Funny how Oldsmobile was offering a GPS system to help if you were lost, yet GM as a company was very lost. Not really sure that they are not still lost. They make hideous looking trucks, Cadillac is a crappy Chevy pretending to be fancy. To be honest, I would never step in a GM show room now or ever. Boring, cheap ugly and bad resale why bother. I get enough of GM when i rent on trips from airports. I have to say, does anybody at GM ever drive what everyone else drives? Do they ever then look at what crap they put out in style fit and finish? Come on, for real, do they? Cadillac updated slogan should be " sub standard of the 3rd world", or " almost as good as Tata motors". Enough said.
