#66 of 74 Extened Warranty 2004 A8L by michmport Jan 15, 2008 (7:27 am)
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.

#67 of 74 Audi '08 residual down? by technar Jan 16, 2008 (5:29 pm)
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.

Replying to: michmport (Jan 15, 2008 7:27 am) 5 grand is a lot of money, but not out of line for a high end car like the A8.   Getting in certified at an Audi dealer is usually less money, but I guess the overall deal and purchase price come into play.   I'd personally never own an A8 out of warranty. 5k may be peanuts if you ever have an engine or transmission problem. You could be looking 10,000-15,000 easily on a German V8 engine or tranny if something went bad. Also, the air suspension can be very expensive to fix should it every break.   The 04 model A8 was the 1st year re-design, and they had a lot more problems than the newer ones.
#70 of 74 Ordering new A8 by a8fan Apr 02, 2008 (9:02 am)
I'm about to order a new A8 because I could not get an S5... they are simply not taking any more orders for those because they are in such high demand. I would have loved the standard trans once more, but oh well...   My question is, they will give me a fabulous price to order one, orone off the lot (from another dealer since they have none) but on a car that is ordered, is there even any holdback amount at all to bargain with?   The price above invoice they were willing to give me is pretty dang good but my dad still insists I'm getting screwed if I don't get more off because of that holdback which is to cover the finance charges for a car held longer than 90 days   Also, I have had Audis that were bright red, black, dark gray, and silver (two). My current A8 was silver metallic and that paint never showed the scratches.   What color do you all like? Replies to this message: randyfrisch (Oct 30, 2008 11:32 am)

Replying to: a8fan (Apr 02, 2008 9:02 am) The silver will definately not show the scratches nearly as much as the other colors, and will be easier, in the long run, to keep clean. Go with whatever color suits your fancy. I, regardless of my own advice, love the A8 in Phantom Black Pearl Effect.

#73 of 74 2009 A8 L pricing by weso Sep 07, 2009 (3:49 pm)
Can folks who have purchased recently post purchase deals they've been able to get?   Thanks Replies to this message: a8fan (Sep 07, 2009 4:05 pm)

Replying to: weso (Sep 07, 2009 3:49 pm) I decided not to replace my 1999 A8 which is still going strong.   I bought a Toyota Tundra instead.   Also, when my S5 came through, I did not take it, because I could not justify spending that kind of money in this economy.   So someone got a nice standard trans, black on black, S5 sports coupe with everything on it.. Wahhhhh.
