"My 1998 A8 has over 200,000 miles. I bought it at 75,000. It is by far the best and most reliable car I have ever owned. Except for brakes, tires, plugs and the battery, the only major repair I had was the fuel pump replacement which cost less than $500 with an after market pump and a talented mechanic. The car has spent most of it's life without a garage yet after 14 years the paint still has a beautiful gloss sheen."

"Incredibly expensive to maintain. Gurantted you will need to replace the transmission and upper and lower control arms more than once. Great looking car, but RUN from these after 100,000 miles hit the clock."
