2013 Audi A5 2.0T quattro Cabriolet — Prestige Trim, White over Black Leather

A drop-top Audi with all-wheel drive in the Prestige trim — the top of the A5 range, not the base car. White with a black soft top and black leather.

But here's the part that should decide whether you keep reading.

?? THE TIMING CHAIN HAS BEEN REPLACED

If you know these cars, you already know why that sentence matters. The 2.0T EA888 engine in this generation of Audi has one famous weakness: the original timing chain tensioner design. It allows the chain to go slack on cold starts. Left alone long enough, the chain skips teeth, the valves meet the pistons, and the engine is finished. It is the single most reported problem on this platform, it was the subject of a settled class action covering these model years, and the repair runs $1,500 to $3,500 when a shop does it properly.

In May 2026, our own shop replaced the timing chain, the tensioner, and the guides on this vehicle. Not a band-aid, not a sensor — the complete job, with the updated parts.

That is the difference between buying a 106,000-mile 2.0T Audi and gambling on one. Ask any other dealer selling one of these when the chain was last touched. Most of them won't be able to tell you.

? WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING

? Road tested before it was inspected — not after. Every vehicle we list is driven at least five miles before the inspection begins, so our technician knows how it actually drives going in. Then our 90-point inspection. Any service performed. Then driven again — up to a few hundred miles depending on the work — to confirm the repairs held. Most dealers inspect a car on a lift. We drive it first, so the inspection has something to look for.
? OBDII scan performed: all drive monitors completed, zero stored or pending trouble codes. On an engine with this reputation, that scan is worth reading twice.
? Passed Georgia emissions inspection 04/30/2026. Ready to register.
? Clean title, guaranteed by CARFAX — no salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail, or lemon brand, across every owner in its history. No total loss.
? No structural damage and no airbag deployment reported to CARFAX. No odometer rollback.
? Prestige trim — the top of the 2013 A5 lineup.
? quattro all-wheel drive with the 8-speed Tiptronic, not the front-drive CVT Cabriolet.
? White exterior, black soft top, black leather interior.

Reconditioned by Duluth Auto Service & Imports — our own shop — May 2026:

• Timing chain replaced
• Timing chain tensioner/guide replaced
• Spark plug(s) replaced
• Antifreeze/coolant flushed/changed
• Air filter replaced
• Oil and filter changed
• Tire(s) replaced

Estimated retail value of this reconditioning work: $2,400 to $4,450. CARFAX reports what was performed but never what it cost, so this is our estimate at standard retail rates. Independent sources put a complete timing chain service on this engine at $1,500 to $3,500 alone; RepairPal's tensioner-only estimate for an A5 quattro runs $1,349 to $1,739. All of this work was performed within the last twelve months, and all of it by our own shop.

?? REAL VALUE

We cross-check every vehicle against multiple independent sources rather than quoting whichever number flatters us most:

• Kelley Blue Book Typical Listing Price: $9,310
• CARFAX History-Based Value: $10,260
• Manheim Adjusted Retail Average: $10,650
• Current Market Average: $11,171
• J.D. Power Retail Book: $12,613

Those five average about $10,800. We're anchoring below that at roughly $10,000 — u
