So, you can retro-fit the B&O into the earlier models? I will be at my dealer this Saturday and I will ask them how that works. Can you give me more info on the details of such an install? Thanks for all info. Great cars by the way that you have.

Get the S8, if the A8 is not enough. by cctdi

Somehow, there has been a heck of struggling among the mind, the heart and deep into my soul (?), so I went to the dealership today and put a deposit on a 4 months waiting period S8, the emotion won! I can’t say this move is the right thing, since the 07 A8 just came to my hands on Oct, 24th is truly a wonderful car, and I like every bit of it. What it is, is you stand on one hill, you see another one seems higher and more….of what? May be this is the last car, and no more after this one, and this time I really mean it!
For those out there who own the new S8, may be able to enlighten me, especially the price paid and your experiences about this vehicle and why the three dealerships in my area I went to, would budge so little the MSRP.

These are limited production cars that have been getting rave reviews in the press so I doubt that the dealers will budge much from MSRP especially if you are ordering one. If any of them start sitting around on the lots, they may be more receptive to dealing since it's expensive to have a $100,000 car taking up space!
 
Congrats on the S8!

Regarding the S8 by blkhemi

What more can I say: What a phenomenal car!!
 
This car is so good in fact that it is definetely worth it's asking price. And rarily do I say a car is worth MSRP.
 
You won't find many discounts on this model as, they're very new and very much in demand, as witnessed by your prolonged delay on your build.
 
My S8 was a smidge over 115k as I added the full-leather pack, B&O sound upgrade and many other extras.
 
The split between comfort and performance is perhaps best in class, even besting the 760iL Sport in my book as the suspension does a fine job of quelling secondary bobbing motions that plagues some cars in this arena.
 
To say the least, I'm very satisfied.

The S8 is an awesome car, I agree. I doubt that anywhere in the "world" would you get a discount on such a lucrative vehicle. The Audi S/RS Permformance line under Audi in-house tuner Quattro GmbH is flawless in its execution. And this is only the beginning as upcoming are the R8, the RS6 (cannot anyone say 580 bhp), the RS-TT, RS5, not to mention the current line of S4, S6, and S8. So many choices.

Anyone (in CA) do a lease for a 2007 A8 Sport? Most of the posts seem to be about the A8L and I want to get some info before I visit a dealer.

I don't think a sport package does anything to the residual on an A8. The S line cars do have a slightly lower residual in the A4's, but there is no S line A8.

A8 Lease Question ... by timincali
Feb 27, 2007 (8:56 pm)

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

Tim,
 
Look at my numbers (I'm also in SoCal), I don't think $1322/m is fair. How many months and miles/year?
 
24m lease
12k/year
A8L Premium + Sports package.
  
MSRP $81,650
Got it down to $79,200
  
First/last down, $1260/month including CA tax (8.25%).
