Default I believe the base was $72,500. Mine loaded with all options and gas guzzler etc.. was $78,600 MSRP

I figured a used one year old car with an extra two years of warranty was a pretty good proposition.

Default The design of the Quattro beats the Benz 4-matic hands down.

The Japanese have a new technique with their new AWD RL. If I can find the URL to the article, Ill post it.

Default Easy, take a look at ...

The exhaust system in <A HREF="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/users/34752.phtml">Chucklane's Pictureposter</a> or the many many mods in <A HREF="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/users/53411.phtml">MMafeeA8's Pictureposter</a>.

Default Re: Yep, I've heard of RL...by the way. There's a difference between Quattro and other AWD

There's an article that compares Audi's 4WD and Infiniti's in the new Automobile Magazine (I think)... I think they gave the edge to Infiniti.

Default It only seems to have the infor for 03...How long does S8 last???

I mean if I get a car with 50K miles on it, what should I expect to get out of it before it starts giving me issues (given that the proper maintains was performed).

I mean if I buy a car with 50K miles on it for about 50K and it only lasts me 50K miles or so, then I don't know if it is a wise buy. What should I expect to get out of S8? Do they go 150K - 200K miles?
