Hello AudiForums

I have loved the look of the Audi A8L since I was little. Childhood neighbor owned a dealer and always drove the latest and greatest!

Now that I can consider a new to me one, I've located a 2007 with only 47K miles. Fairly loaded, new brakes and the seller was asking 24,9K! Through homework, talking with his Audi service department and my likeable attitude I've been able to get him to 21,5K. I've made the offer contingent on a passing buyer’s inspection at the dealer and am really excited about owner a car that I've always admired!

It does need new tires and the passenger side headlamp might have to be replaced. Getting the adaptive warning light and the dealer noted the motor is bad. Other than that the body has no marks and he is replacing the driver's side caps on the wheels. Someone popped them off a few weeks ago!

Now the question, does this seem like a decent deal given the year and miles? Anyone else able to offer buying experience on 07+ a year or two? Don't want to go below 07 as I prefer the timing chain over the belt!

Thanks in advance to any comments!

 

You say the dealer told you the motor is bad? Why would you still want to buy this car?

 

The motor in the headlamp for the adaptive lighting is bad, not the engine. Sorry for the confusion!

 

OK, that sounds better. This is a private sales so take a look at KBB and see what they say the price is for private sales. Not sure 21K is in the ball park but I don't know what options are on the car. And at that price I would expect them to fix the head light motor.
