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?

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..

This forum was helpful in my recent purchase of an Audi A8L. The car currently has 45,500 miles on it. I purchased it for $32,000. The dealer wants to sell me an extended warranty for $4988\ 4 yrs or 50K additional miles. does it make any sense to buy the warranty or should I just invest the money and pay for the repairs myself. Any horror stories about repairs and those that did or didn't buy an extended warranty on a used Audi.

Hi all, I am a few weeks away from turning my A8L in and finally getting the S8. Stopped by my dealership yesterday and the fleet mgr showed me the residuals chart for various models. My '06 A8L had a 69% residual (12k/year). The chart shows 53% for S8 and even lower for A8. The mgr said that the residual went down for every Audi model. Is this true? Because this makes a huge difference in what the monthly lease payment will be - about $500/month more for the same car (and same price). Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
