| My swb Audi has kept my intrest for the past year + and is still something to look forward to...One of the fine features is how quickly the heat will come out of the vents..On my car this happens with in two blocks which is way quicker than any other car I have owned....There are many other small things like this that makes the car a pleasure all the time.....Blk I can understand how your wife is a Mercedes fan...I was a Lexus fan for a long time, and now kick myself for missing what I have now. Maybe I just got the Audi at the right time and missed nothing---but I`l never know.....Eric is doing fine on the d3 board but I`v not seen him here in a long time...Tony | |

Replying to: blkhemi (Sep 24, 2006 12:35 pm) I was curious as to how many mile you put on your W12? I am getting more interested in an Audi after having been away from them for awhile. I alway loved the Quattro AWD system in big Audis. By the way, one of my vehicles is a RAM 4x4 CTD. I have seen that you also are partial to Ram PUs

Replying to: reality2 (Feb 22, 2007 3:31 pm) Thanks for the reply. I guess I am trying to find out if anyone on this forum has been putting significant mileage on an A8. If I was to get one it would be the car that would be my primary driver and have serious mileage put on it. I already have too many more specialized vehicles that I only use for very specific purposes but that are really not suited for significant long distance driving. When possible and time permits, my wife and I also prefer to take our luxury car on vacation rather than driving. In my case, I have to fly multiple days for business almost every week and getting on another commercial plane flight is not my idea of a vacation. Therefore, I am trying to find out how the A8 holds up to really racking-up the miles.

Yes, the big Audi's hold much to be desired and are definetely in the top of the heap of best kept secrets in the biz. I currently have about 29k miles on the W12, and it wouldn't have been that much if I hadn't let my daughter borrow it when she had my grandson. Her S4 Cab simply wouldn't do. But I did have fun driving the Cab tho. And yes, I love Dodge Rams. While the class has definitely moved on, the Ram is still competitive. Especially the new 6.7L Cummins HD's. |

I started my quest for a new car this week and had no intentions of buying an A8. Well needless to say, one look and I was hooked. The offer I have on the table is the following: A8 Short w/ premium, 19”, massage, Sirius MSRP - $77970 Invoice - $72574 (according to KBB) Offer - $73608 Residual – 44% (45% if I have them throw in the $599 maintenance program) Money Factor – 0.00145 Payment with 7.75% tax - $1322.79 I’m in So Cal and wanted to know if the Residual and MF sound right for my region thru Audi Financial. A couple of posts back you stated that they were 46% and 0.0013. I just want to be sure that they are not marking these up. Also, do you think that there is room for further negotiation? Thanks, Tim-in-Cali
