Default Looking to upgrade from 03 A6 4.2 to 04 A8L

I have been thinking about upgrading to a A8L, Options include Front and Rear Parktronic, Cold Weather Package, 18" Wheels w/ All-Season Tires, Convenience Package, Perforated Leather Seats. It is certified with 14k miles, the price I have them to is 54k. It in the Mid-west area… What do you think of the price?
Anything special I should know about the A8 Over the A6?
Thanks

Default Do you get the entire car for that price? LOL It seems pretty

fair wothout seeing it or the mileage that it has accumulated. A6 or A8? Two entirely different cars. Drive the A8 and see! One major difference is the electronics package built into the A8. There have been issues especially with the 04. Get the real history on this car before you buy. Good luck!!

Thanks.. I know its bigger, I was wondering how happy people were with the A8. The car they are offering is very nice, with good options. I am very happy with the A6, just was wonder if anyone had regrets...

Default My only regret is that I didn't trade in my MB sooner =)

Okay, so my daily driver wasn't an A6 before getting the A8L, however, my husband drives an RS6 that he lets me drive once in awhile (does that qualify?)

I love my A8L, haven't once regretted my purchase. Even after a year, I find myself sitting behind the wheel as excited to drive it as that first day!

That said... there's bound to be a bad apple in the bushel basket every so often, so be sure and thoroughly research the vehicle history. If everything checks out... enjoy!
