Flagship really!!

My 10 year old car has only 57,000 miles and has been at the shop for two weeks. Coolant leak(over $1000), engine light on (another $1200), two sensors not working(want over $2000 each), blind spot indicator not working. Had leaking windshield and pop up screen worked on twice. Do not buy in Charlotte. Can't get your car serviced

This car is exquisite and very comfortable.

This is the right size car for me and my family. I love the color and how smooth it drives. It has many qualities. :)

Best and most luxurious car I’ve owned!!!

Had Mercedes S class, BMW 750, etc. but the Audi A8L is my absolute favorite vehicle I’ve known. You have the muscle, confort and luxury you want.

My second A8

Even better this time. No mechanical issues after the dealer fixed a clunk in the suspension. It was great having an internet hotspot intergrated in the entertainment system!

Best value for the money of any car I've owned

The Audi A8L represents the upper echelon of sedans. New, this car is extraordinarily expensive . However, as depreciation wreaks havoc on this car it drops to a very affordable price bracket. I bought this car CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) which guaranteed it was in good condition and it also provided an extended warranty for problems that may pop up. When I got this car, it was very good condition and I didn't feel worn down at all. I would definitely recommend buying this car for people looking to go further up the market than their budget may allow on a new car. I think this car is very good used but I have trouble justifying the price if it is bought new.
