I am looking at the 2000 A8L with 108k miles for 11,999. Is this a good price? I am having the pre-purchase inspection done as we speak but wanted to find out if this was a reasonable price. It has every possible options including Navigation and 18" dish wheels.

a substantial amount of control. its a low price if the car is in perfect condition. find out what has been done maintanence wise. T-belt etc. review Audipages.com of course for some extra pointers.

I just bought my A8L with 68,000 miles for $16,350. That price of yours is extremely low.

According to Edmunds.com, that is below trade-in pricing. So you're getting a good price.

For a 2000 A8L with that many miles, the sales range provided was approximately $13 trade-in, $15 private sale, and $18 dealer. These seem to be reflective of Ebay prices too.

I would check, and double check, the tranny. Make sure the car goes into reverse with continuous power when you accelerate (in reverse). If not, any tranny repair will be significant ($2-$4K). Also mentioned was the timing belt. Audi recommends this be replaced at around 110K miles (approx $1K-2K cost).

I love my 2000 A8L, and hope you get a good deal on this one. Lets us know of your decision and good luck.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/tmv/used/2000/audi/a8/index.html">Link to Edmunds.com (2000 A8L)</a></li></ul>

This is where I found the vehicle and I did put the deposit down. I am 90% sure to purchase but going thru PPI today emphasis on Timing Belt and Transmission.
I will let you guys know.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ramseycorp.com/used_vehicle_details.htm?vehicleId=6a7d98c74046382 40050078eb51814b3">http://www.ramseycorp.com/used_vehicle_details.htm?vehicleId=6a7d98c74046382 40050078eb51814b3</a</li></ul>

Bought my 98 almost two years ago with just over 100k and the price was 4k less than comparable cars with 60 - 75k miles.

There simply aren't a lot of buyers willing to part with more than 10 - 12k for these cars with over 100k on the clock.

Lucky for us I suppose! :-)

There was a carfax for accident/incident report. Car is fixed and title is clear.
a8drifter, are you from NJ area? Do you mind going over and checking this vehicle out for me?

Some poeple have deception on "Oh high miles bad car". My personal opinion, I rather own Audi, Mercedes, Porsche with higher miles than lesser mile Chevy or Ford.

I did lots of research and paid $17,500 for a 2000 L with 98,000, still had to do a TB and trans fluid service! Incredibly nice interior condition, good exterior, but a small list of things like broken menu control switch, vent clicking in the dash, etc still needed attending to. On these cars: if not maintained and driven hard then high mileage can turn into high maintenance (low purchase price), but if taken care of they're real driving machines worth the money even with high mileage.

purchase cars that are shuffled through auctions. Especially in that NJ/NYC area. They buy those cars because people like luxury cheap and they prey on people who do not do the research. Just my $0.02 There is a reason why that car is so cheap. Just be very wary. The CARFAX buyback guarantee is only for error of records, not a willy nilly buyback if you find a surprise.

Audis, MB, BMW etc. its $$$$$$

From the pictures, there appears to be a knob on dash behind/below turn signal?

If so, that's another $1,200 aftermarket upgrade to that car.

I hope it works out for ya!

Had to replace the fuel pump in my 99 Yukon twice and a sensor once. All located in the gas tank. The pump is designed to be cooled by the fuel in the tank, but is situated in such a way that once you go below 1/4 tank, there isn't enough fuel to reach the pump to keep it cool subsequently leading to early pump failure.

Had to drop the tank each time, losing fuel that was in it and paying close to $400 just for parts! And if you can't do the work yourself, labor costs at domestic dealerships are rapidly approaching import prices, at least here in the NorthEast.

Happy to say it's gone from our stable!

I'll take my chances with my high mileage Audi any day.
