Solid vehicle
Source: Cars.com

..."I purchase the vehicle 10 months ago and performed the necessary requirements to bring its condition to solid.
This is not a "cheap" vehicle, your average cost for each repair will be over $200.
Focus on taking care of things prior to them going down: bulbs, brakes, switches, wiper blades and tires.
It's called maintenance - do it and the vehicle will serve you well.
Things that are costly are: fuel pump ($800) crank sensor ($500) transmission fluid and change ($ 500) however once their completed the car is solid.
Have any car your interested in inspected by a...

This is the ultimate luxury vehicle
Source: Cars.com

..."I've had the new S-Class 550 (slick interior, demanding presence but too oldie and had multiple issues),
the new 7 series 750li (too flashy, although drove worlds better than the S) and finally went back to Audi.
This is the master of them all. Audi has finally come
into its own over the past years and this car really exemplifies their progress.There is a reason why the A8 has beaten the competition in every review and received all of the awards it has,
this car really kills them all."...

..."I purchased a 2004 Audi A8 L from the chicago area and I have been pleased to the end.
It is a technological marvel and I have enjoyed it completely.
It had 77000 miles when purchased and I will be taking it in for it's service soon.
Crossing fingers it's not too expensive an undertaking. The engine is strong and the drive is unsurpassed by any vehicle I've previously owned, including Infiniti's, corvettes, Nissans."...

cash succubus

...AND LOVED ITAUDI A8 #2 bought nearly new, but after about 5ok this car got very expensiveTrunk hinges/motors failed at nearly $800 (redesigned twice since 2005) - thermostat part is $60 but almost $900 with labor because you need to take half the engine out to get access. Tire pressure sensor batteries have 5 year life and $1200 repair cost. Oxygen sensors cost $1000, control arms for $2500, and 75K major service recommends replacing timing belt and water pump for about $2600. Cup holder, 2 arm rests, 2 cigarette lighters/phone chargers, handle to open hood, all broken in ordinary use.BASED...

A mechanical nightmare
Source: Cars.com

...It was a smooth as silk and at first a lovely car. Within the next 40k miles over 2.5 years, it has needed a new engine management system, a new fuel pump (apparently vulnerable), brake sensors, and a reconditioned gear box (apparently vulnerable on the 4.2 quattro and generally not Audi's forte). It is currently in the garage with another fuel pump problem. Additionally, there appear to be few independent Audi garages around who are confident of tackling such a big car. The main dealer prices for parts and labor are eye watering. A car for those with courage and deep pockets."...

Best car ever

..."The 2012 Audi A8 gives nothing away to its rivals in terms of performance, comfort, technological wizardry or build quality.
As such, this driver-focused luxury sedan should be on the consideration list of anybody shopping this segment...

Audi A8

..."It is an audi A8 with more extras, and lower cost.
The gas is going to kill you, and the service is going to take both legs and arms to pay for. But between those two obstacles you will be the happiest man on earth."...

Why should I also consider these?

With a base price of about $75,000 and a top price well over $100,000, the new Audi A8 competes with the BMW 7-Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and will have the 2011 Jaguar XJ and Lexus LS also in its sights.

Fresh from a 2010 update, the Benz S-Class spans the range of powertrains from S400 Hybrid to twin-turbo S65 AMG.

It's also the foundation for the Maybach sedans.

The BMW 7-Series was new for 2009, and since then has added six-cylinder models, an ActiveHybrid gas-electric version, and a V-12 edition, all working perfectly with its de-Bangled style and its improved iDrive controller.

The 2011 Jaguar XJ / XJL has been dramatically reworked, with a body more like the smaller XF than the dowdy aluminum panels worn by the previous version.

And finally, the Lexus LS range spans short-wheelbase Sport models to long-wheelbase hybrid LS 600h L versions, and it's an impossibly smooth vehicle to operate—though even with sport add-ons, it's still the least engaging of these sedans to drive.

 
2011 BMW 7-Series
Call us converts: The latest BMW 7-Series turns our eyes more than ever and drives with real big-guy brio.
 
2011 Jaguar XJ
The 2011 Jaguar XJ severs ties with its past, and rocks a mod new look that suits its dynamic personality.
 
2011 Lexus LS 460
The 2011 Lexus LS sedans deliver a luxury-liner ride and hushed interior, with some options that are unmatched by all but ultra-luxury brands, but they sorely lack driving involvement.
 
2011 Mercedes-Benz S Class
From earth-friendly to exclusive and exotically fast, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class does it all in superb comfort.
