Hi ...i need advice about mine purchase.I did some research on A8 and decided to get one.
Monday i need sign papers and car would be mine.
I found in local VW dealership 2004 audi A8L with 90000mls. for $17900.
The car drive nice,its clean have two previous owners with clean carfax.
Coming with no warrantee as is.
My question is...shut i get PPI?
Is the price reasonable?
What to look for?

Thanks in advance Roman

 

The price is within reason, depending on your part of the country...price varies a little from east to west coast. Some parts of the country have the same listed for $1000 less...some more (autotrader.com).
Biggest question: Has the timing belt service been done...proof on paper? If not, it's due for it very soon...dealer cost $1800-2000 or more for service (including waterpump).

 

i'm in chicago.i dont know if the timing belt been replaced...happend to be next to the dealership is audi dealer.So i think will be smart to get PPi from them so they can tell me what the car need or not.

 

Get the VIN and see if the Audi dealer can pull the service records.

The three main things I would look for are:
1. (as mentioned) Timing belt service
2. Ignition coils - if they haven't been replaced they will probably need to be fairly soon.
3. Trunk latch mechanism replaced

Other than that, just the obvious stuff - condition of tires, amount of brake pad left, shifts smooth, etc.

The Audi dealer can also pull up all of the warranty claims and repairs over and above service records.
