I second that...

BTW, the A8 in SF was sold for $11K, it has the rear differential seal replaced as part of maintenance, Bilstein Shocks and new performace tires. Was that good deal ? No record of a timing belt chaged. Maintenance records only goes up to 60K miles.

What is the gas mileage on your A8's ?

I have had a lot of cars and this must be the best..

With average 34mph, I had 339miles/16.7 gallons. I had to sit on the freeway traffic for a few hours idling and stop and go. If normal driving, I should get 21-22mpg, I'm sure freeway driving is up in the 25-26mpg.

97 for $11k is not bad, but some of his stuffs don't work like the rear shade. Was you the one that bid for 11k?

This one doesn't have cold/electronic package (front &amp; rear heated seats) side dimming mirrors, rear lumbar support? electric headrest?

NO, someone else from LA bid for $11K. The rear shades works fine though.

I think you got a great deal. Was it a private party for yours ? Did you haggle a little ?

I didn't haggle a lot because the car was nice. He paid $2500 for the timing belt service, $4000 + $8000 (AUDI paid) = $12000 for new transmission @ 68k miles, he only used synthetic oil, new brakes, shocks... this owner paid over $10000 in maintenance in the last 20k miles that he put on.
Yeh, I think I got a ok deal for $11,500. I'm not complaining regardless of all the little things I'll have to do to make it close to perfect.

You must have been the kindest person on earth, that's why good things come your way, Hehehe.
