Default A8L, good first car?

I'm looking into a Audi A8L, Volvo XC90, or BMW 7-Series. 2006+.

I like the Audi the most, just wondering if there is a mileage limit? I was looking for 60k or under, but some with 90k and up have really nice options. I just don't feel like it's reliable anymore? Is 100k on an A8L too much? I really love the automatic trunk, push button start, and the a/c seats.

Just wondering if the a/c really do work well?

I like this-
Audi : A8 Audi : A8 | eBay

Thanks so much!

Seems like a pretty clean A8. The higher mileage is nothing to worry about.. Especially if it was maintained by an Audi dealer or reputable shop. North coast auto auctions is also a good dealer. I live fairly close to them and they always have great prices. They seem to always sell quality cars and not junk. I would say it's probably a good buy.

Just wondering why you want such big cars for your first car?

No offense but it seems like you are doing everything wrong. One your first car and you want a maintainence heavy luxury car and the biggest most technically advanced of the lot. On top of that you never buy a car, let alone a luxury car off of ebay. You don't know what kind of electrical demons it might hide. For the A/C it better work amazing for the price you pay for the car.

I suggest you scan the forums and look around at all the dozens upon dozens of posts before asking more. I strongly consider these kind of cars down the road, get something sporty, fun, and cheap to maintain for now. Look into the new Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S

Dude, do your research and buy what ever you want. Clearly you don't want some little boy ricer, so choose. Front wheel drive, Rear wheel drive or four wheel drive?. You may want to start having kids though, so you have a first born to sell to pay for maintaining any of them. You're a smart chap, you've come on here for advice, so do lots of research, buy it from where ever you want, and enjoy it. If you drive the Volvo people will think you're a dentist, the BMW people will think you're a dick, the Audi, people will think you have impeccable taste. Your call.

T/C
