Been out of the game for a minute!
Cheers!
Notice some familiar names and some new ones.
I previously had a 2008 S8 that I drove from 20k mikes to 65k. I ended up getting out of it due to a few non mechanical issues (belly pan/tires/service all being due and the market was high).
Long story short, I miss it and am looking to get back in to one.
Asking the typical questions from a prospective buyer due the mileage of vehicles on the market is higher than anything I experienced w my previous car.
My memory was u-bolts and suspension issues after 70k miles or so, but I’m sure there have been more issues to pop up since I’ve been around.
Appreciate the info!!

For me after 100k was never ending oil leaks. Besides that you gonna need a new intake manifoldaround 80-100k miles and bunch of other stuff failing from car being old. Sunroof, coolant hoses, shifter rubber piece and bunch of other small things that can be DIY. I sold my car at 150k miles. Overall for what it is, the car has been reliable
