Hello Everyone,
Resurrecting this thread to let everyone know that the vehicle will be up for salvage auction soon. I have attached the link below. I'm not sure how these salvage actions work (e.g. whether or not you need a dealers license, etc.) but you could get a decent A8 for pretty cheap, and I would love to see it go to someone on here.

As for me, I unfortunately could not get in to another A8 that met my list in the time frame I had, so I bought a 2012 Volkswagen CC with a 6 speed manual, a decent daily driver that I have always thought was very attractive.

Update:
After coming to terms with the vehicle being totaled, I had received an offer from the at fault parties insurance and will actually come out of this ordeal further ahead than I previously thought. I guess it really pays off to take care of your vehicle and make it presentable at all times. I cleaned out the car and took some things that I will be posting on here first for you all to peruse and see if you'd like them. Things like an AMI cable, all weather mats, tools from the toolkit, etc. I will be taking detailed photos of all of the items as well. If anyone would be interested beforehand just PM me.

In 2000 I bought a new black-on-black Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton short bed std cab 4WD truck for $19, 500 OTD. It was a beautiful truck and I kept it immaculate. I added a snug top, alloy wheels, upgraded stereo, removed all the emblems from the exterior and had the windows tinted.
It was totaled three years later and the insurance company gave me $17,500. Even wrecked the truck looked amazing.
The insurance adjuster even commented on what a beautiful truck it was.

There is a lot to be said for taking care of your vehicle.

Where I live, three years of premiums with collision and Comprehensive would have been greater than the $2000.00 delta you experienced.
