Replying to: blkhemi (Jul 16, 2007 1:31 pm) I would save your money on wheel insurance. I bought an A8L with 19" chrome wheels which were an extra $5k at purchase. After a year, one of the wheels cracked. The dealer was willing to sell me the rims (the fan wheel, chromed), four if I wanted, for $400 each, with no insurance. I bought two, so I have a spare if another ever gets damaged.

Replying to: touringchef (Sep 16, 2007 9:15 am) Same thing happened to me last year, when I purchased an 2006 A8L just as the '07s were coming out. They took $8,000 off the sticker as soon as I walked in the door, and then I negotiatied another $5,000 off the price. I think you really need to consider whether the upgrades in the '08s are worthing paying more for, becasue you won't get that deal on the new model year. In 2003 I bought a 2004 A6 4.2, and I did not get as good a deal. Part of there theory is that they are giving you back the first year's depreciation.

I am seeing a couple of A8s (short wheelbase) from more than one dealer for $65K (after "dealer incentives"). Cars include premium package, 19" wheels and heated steering wheel. Sounds like a great deal given the MSRP is around $76K. Does anyone know if dealers have more room to discount the 2007s? Also, I am told that in order to get the dealer incentives, I have to buy before month end? True? False? Replies to this message: touringchef (Oct 28, 2007 6:38 am)

Replying to: blkhemi (May 30, 2006 2:44 pm) How do you like your S8? I just got my 2007 in May. Took 2 months to order as I like it. I had 2 problems which you should check out. 1. The transmission gasket leaked and they needed to get a newer thicker one with a new "high heat" sealent. Also a small fuel pump was leaking, no fluid on ground, but same fuel smell. You know that 5.2 V10 gets hot. Other than that no problem. It is my wife's car. Only 4 in the WAsh DC area. Our first Audi. here with the slush come Dec you need AWD if you have hi perf tires...

Replying to: pmcb48 (Jun 23, 2007 8:05 pm) Just got a 2007 Audi S8 in silver. Pearl paint is nice but a pain to match as I learned with my escalade. pearl is a 3 stage paint. plain metallic is much easier for detailer to patch up any nasty dings that jerks in the parking lots are know to make.
#64 of 74 2005 Audi 8L trade in value by bobwash Dec 02, 2007 (12:51 pm)
I am unhappy with my 8L primarily because I find service to be terrible. My experience is the service departments (I use one in FL and NC in the summer) simply stonewall any problem with the car. The latest, I had new tires put on by a local tire dealer and I had the local Audi dealer align the front end. The car now pulls badly. I took it back and the tech told me everything was normal. I insisted the tech, service manager and I take a ride together. They conceded the car pulled badly and suggested it was radial pull and they switched the two front tires and told me everything was ok. The problem is the car still pulls in the same direction as it did before and they don't want to hear it. They for some reason won't acknowledge there is a problem and I don't want to make my point by ruining a new set of tires at a cost of $1,000. Does it make sense to go to a non Audi shop and have them align it or am I just looking for trouble.    I just don't want to deal with it any more and I decided to trade the 8L in on a new Lexus. When I check the various web sites as to the value of my car the estimates come in between $40,000 and $42,000. When checking with dealers I find they will only give $32,000 to $33,000 which are auction prices. They say they can't sell the car and they just sell it at auction. What a disappointment, I guess I own the car a while longer and accept the fact that Audi has a low resale unless maybe on another Audi and another Audi is not for me..
