Cool Need Advice

Im currently planning on buying a used audi a8 2009 model, 3.2L , large version. has 25,000 KM on it. But im a bit worried about what kind of common problems i might find in the future?
I also would like to know what I should look for in the car at the dealership, and what kind of questions I should ask.

Thanks

Past A8's didn't have inherent problems until higher mileage...and such a fine car, little complaints from owners. As time has gone by, fewer problems.

09's have not been around long enough to get a feel for any high mileage "weaknesses".

The ONLY reason to shop for one at a dealership would be to find a CPO (certified pre-owned), which is warrantied by Audi to 100K miles or 6 years from original new sale...SO why would one worry about ANY potential problem?

In general ALL A8's are quite dependable...test drive one...A8 owners drive them for what they are (totally unique, even among all other Audi's), NOT long term dependability. If that is your only criteria, look at boring dependable Lexus...OR look for something you'll love driving and will make you smile, an A8.
