I would be a little concerned with extremely low mileage car, make sure to check the carfax or maintenance history, it may be one of those that's been in the dealer more than on the road.
I don't drive much with my Q7, weekend car and seasonal one, but I still have 36k in 5 1/2 years.
Cheers and good luck,
Louis

550 is definitely a sweet ride. So the dealer says the exterior color is a blue silver metallic...is this a light blue?

Back from the Dealer
Ok Gents,
Here's the scoop, test drove the car, loved it! It actually has 19,998 miles on it, spotless - smells like new! There are a few scratches here and there,
2007 A8 4.2L - with Sport Package, Rear Entertainment Package, Bang & Olufsen Audio, 20" Wheels, and others things I can't remember. I've check the items suggested in an earlier thread and they looked good. I made an appt with the Audi service center to do a PPI same dealer all service records on the CarFax shows.
I've attached some pictures for comments.

Just a few remarks: rear seat entertainment looks like aftermarket, not sure about wheels, but it is too high for sport suspension. Tires should be 275/35x20. MMI suspension menu should state Sport Suspension.
You didn't say anything about price.

Just confirmed the tire size, in the MMI menu it lists sport/comfort and two others? as selections - I briefly recall seeing them as I went thru the menus.
They are asking $26,995. What do you think about the asking price?

Sport suspension MMI screen:
Can't help you much with the price. I think it is too high, but I am in Canada and A8 market here is totally different (if it at all exists). Though it is unbelievable low millage. Virtually new. Some guys have relevant and fresh experience. I believe they will kick in.
