Default 04 Gone...09 took its place

I traded my 04 yesterday for an 09 CPO A8L in Phantom Black/Ameretto. It has an "in service" date of 12-09, has 25,000 miles and is truly like new. The 09 is everything I wanted my 04 to be. I am stoked.

Very good purchase for sure! Mind if I ask how much you paid for OTD?

It is a CPO, 25K miles. Warranty until Dec 2015. I paid $47k for it. The original window sticker is in the glove box and shows $83,498.

It has new front brakes, new tires, oil change.

Options:

Cold weather pack
Leather upgrade
19" wheels
Rear climate control
Power door close assist
Heated/vent/massage front seats
The standard Bose/Bluetooth/iPod/Sirius connector sound system
Glass sunroof
Backup camera
Paddle shifters

And all the other standard stuff like keyless start/entry etc

Like I said, it is what I wanted in my 04 as far as creature features. Of course with 25,000 miles, it's damn near like new.

As far as an early comparison to the 04? It drives tighter, a hair faster, no creaks rattles or squeaks and of course, everything works!

Doing a 275 mi road trip back home this afternoon and I am giddy.....that's what makes these cars special.

Very nice car. Half way to buying a new D4.

For that money I would buy excellent S8 or W12 and it won't be black. Sorry black car lowers.

Default Holy smokes!

That's a pretty car. Great find. You should probably have the dealer see to the driver's door alignment before you take that trip though...

Mishar, you're forgiven.

K9 is right about the door alignment, that's the first thing I would get checked. Beautiful car, you should be set for a few years with that one, only 25k mi .......... nice
