#1431 of 1466 08 Incentives... by acenj Aug 11, 2008 (5:51 pm)
Replying to: theanimal (Aug 11, 2008 5:56 am) OK,   I've seen some ebay cars (new) discounted 10-15K off sticker. There is obviously some factory to dealer $$$ out there. Edmunds doesn't have it listed, nor do any other sites, i'm assuming Audi is actually doing a good job of keeping this news private.   Does anyone out there know what the actual incentive currently is?   Ace

I'd love to know more too...   I'm still about 3-5 months away from purchasing. Do you think the 06 prices will be lower by then?

Replying to: ayyate (Aug 10, 2008 12:24 pm) I couldn’t agree more. The Amaretto is by far the most rich looking color of interior that Audi has. I have been looking to upgrade from my 2002 S8 into something newer like an ‘06 A8 or possibly a VW Phaeton. Has anyone driven a VW Phaeton?
#1434 of 1466 There's a reason the Phaeton isn't around anymore... by theanimal Aug 20, 2008 (5:35 am)
It is built off of the A8, but since it is an all steel bodied car it is much heaver than the A8L. The Phaeton is a sort of lumbering car compared to the sportiness of the Audi. I have only had my 05 A8L for a little over two weeks now and I am really impressed with how it drives like a much smaller car. Only pulling into parking spaces does it seem any larger then my 98 GS400.   I considered the Phaeton until I thought of all of the reliability issues with it (same with the A8, that's why I wouldn't consider a 2004 model, only 05.5 and newer) and the lack of parts/dealers who know anything about it, made me realize a few thousand dollar increase for a used A8 was worth the money.

After two weeks of absolute NIGHTMARES....our daughters car was first hit, then vandalized by a rival school this past weekend...I've had it! With college coming in less than a year, we can't do a new car right now....tuition rules!   We got an email from very close friends this morning...their friends are moving out west and MUST get rid of one of their A8 they can't take them all...and they need it gone like yesterday...they just decided to get rid of it....   1997 A8 3.7 127,000 New Transmission Excellent condition....just painted, etc....   No other problems...black, loaded, sunroof etc.   They are giving it to us for 1500....just to get rid of it, and they know we could use the help.....teenage drivers are EXPENSIVE.   What should we look for? What are common problems with the A8's....I haven't had one that was a 97...so I'm a bit lost here with this year/model. We are going to look at it tonight, with cash in hand...   Any info would be much appreciated! I have looked at pricing etc, and they are GIVING it to us pretty much...but I don't want to run into...Oh, you should have looked at etc...   Thanks all!

Replying to: ayyate (Jan 06, 2008 11:47 am) I am looking at buy a 1995 A8L. I have seen some reviews where the have a lot of electrical problems. What is your experience? Also I was told that this model does not have bluetooth; however, I see you comment on it. Does this year and model have bluetooth?
#1437 of 1466 Problems with audi A8 by slader00 Sep 14, 2008 (10:02 am)
I have a 2002 A8L - quit running. Mechanic replaced fuel pump ($1485); it ran for 2 weeks. Quit again. Sounds as if it's out of gas, but it's not. Anyone have a similar problem - better yet - know a solution. Been in the garage for 2 weeks - mechanic can't figure it out. Slader00

Replying to: m1e1b1s1 (Sep 09, 2008 10:29 am) I'm not familiar with this particular model, but you can try consumerguide.com. The site usually has a list of common found problems and parts costs.
#1439 of 1466 2004 A8L hands free phone by A8passenger Jan 04, 2009 (11:27 am)
This question is for any of the tech geeks out there. We purchased an '04 A8L prior to reading these blogs. I am trying to find out if there is an adapter for the phone system. This car has Onstar capability but we are not sure we want to activate it. I also need to get the maps on the navigation updated. Would really like to have a bluetooth adapter like what is being offered for the '02 BMW 7 series. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
