S-Marketplace Help & Rules

S-Marketplace is an enthusiast-focused marketplace provided by S-CARS.ORG for buying, selling, and locating parts, wheels, tires, and vehicles related to the Audi S and RS models supported by our community.

Our goal is to provide a focused alternative to general-purpose marketplaces while helping connect Audi enthusiasts, owners, and specialty vendors.

Member Classifieds

Registered S-CARS members may submit classified listings in the following categories:

  • Parts

  • Wheels & Tires

  • Vehicles

  • Wanted

Member listings are reviewed before publication to help reduce spam, scams, irrelevant listings, and abuse.

Listings should accurately describe the item being offered or sought. Sellers should disclose known defects, damage, missing components, or other information that would reasonably affect a buyer’s decision.

Vehicle Listings

Vehicle listings must include an asking price, location, and valid VIN.

Please provide an accurate description of the vehicle’s condition, mileage, modifications, known issues, and relevant maintenance history whenever possible.

Approved Vendors

S-Marketplace also includes listings from approved commercial and specialty Audi parts vendors.

Vendor accounts are assigned and approved by S-CARS.ORG. The presence of a vendor on S-Marketplace does not constitute a guarantee of any particular product, transaction, warranty, or service.

Buying & Contacting Sellers

Use the Contact Seller or Buy / Contact Vendor section on a listing to communicate with the person or business offering the item.

S-Marketplace does not publicly display a seller’s email address. Messages are routed through the marketplace to help protect member contact information.

For vendor items, available payment methods such as PayPal or Venmo may be shown on the listing. Follow the payment instructions provided during your transaction.

Shipping & Local Pickup

Listings may offer shipping, local pickup, or both.

Shipping costs, packaging, insurance, delivery arrangements, and local pickup details should be confirmed between the buyer and seller before payment unless a shipping amount is explicitly provided through S-Marketplace.

Inspect locally purchased items whenever practical before completing the transaction.

Marketplace Safety

Use good judgment when buying or selling online.

Be cautious if someone:

  • Pressures you to pay immediately.

  • Requests an unusual or unexpected payment method.

  • Refuses to provide reasonable information or additional photographs.

  • Provides payment or shipping instructions that suddenly differ from the listing.

  • Claims to represent S-CARS.ORG when arranging payment.

  • Asks you to send excess money or forward money to another person.

If something about a transaction seems suspicious, stop the transaction and contact S-CARS.ORG.

Prohibited Listings

Listings may be rejected or removed if they are fraudulent, misleading, unrelated to the supported Audi community, unlawful, intentionally miscategorized, excessively commercial without an approved vendor account, or otherwise inappropriate for S-Marketplace.

S-CARS.ORG reserves the right to approve, reject, edit, suspend, or remove marketplace listings or accounts when necessary to protect the community or operate the service.

S-CARS.ORG’s Role

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, S-CARS.ORG is not the buyer or seller in S-Marketplace transactions.

Items are offered by individual members or independent vendors. Buyers and sellers are responsible for confirming item condition, compatibility, price, payment, shipping, pickup, insurance, taxes, refunds, and any other transaction terms.

S-CARS.ORG does not guarantee the accuracy of a listing, the condition or authenticity of an item, vehicle history, seller performance, buyer performance, payment, shipping, or the successful completion of a transaction.

Parts Fitment

Fitment information is provided as a convenience and may be based on information supplied by the seller.

Audi part compatibility can vary by model year, market, production date, drivetrain, option code, and previous vehicle modifications. Buyers should independently verify part numbers and compatibility before purchasing.

Sold Something?

Please mark your classified listing Sold when the item is no longer available. Keeping listing status current makes S-Marketplace more useful for everyone.

Need Help or Need to Report a Listing?

If you encounter a suspicious listing, inappropriate content, a technical problem with S-Marketplace, or another issue requiring administrator assistance, please contact S-CARS.ORG.

When reporting a listing, include the listing title or URL and a brief explanation of the problem.
