D4 A8. More depreciation yet???

[KungFuPanda]

I previously had a C6 S6. Having gone through a few more cars, I'm looking at getting back into the Audi fold hopefully without the ruinously large fuel bills.

Having initially had a look around at D3 A8s, I've now seen a few high mileage D4 A8s at the £20k and under mark such as:

I'm not too scared of high mile cars and having had a look at the grey one, the interior seems to have shrugged off the 90,000 miles that vehicle had done.

Not driven one yet but I'm surprised at the stats. 250bhp but can do 0-60 in 6.1 secs. Probably down to the weight savings on the aluminium body and the 8 speed box.

Spec wise, I'd want an SE Executive with BOSE, rear reversing camera, auto bootlid and soft close doors.

I'm actually amazed at how much these are now.

Those stats are impressive and probably improved with a remap.
Following this thread with interest.

Ive a 4.2 D4 with 18K on it, great cars.

I have a 2013 D4 A8 3.0TDi SE Exec in black. Don't be put off by the high miles. It just means it has been sat on the motorway idling away.

These engines are built to do these kind of lightyears!

I've really enjoyed my 3.0 TDI SE Exec over the last six months. The gear lever takes some getting used to, but the biggest criticism I can come up with otherwise is that the audio comes on every time you start the car even if you left it off. Sometimes some road surface noises can be louder than you might expect. Really can't say much else bad about it, amazing value, superb economy, amazing traction, it really is fun whilst also being relaxing to drive, understated but looks nice, lovely engine, pretty fast, diesel engine sounds nice (!), steering feels OK to me (also drive a GTR which has lots of steering feel, so I set a high bar). It also rides very well indeed. Trading for D4 S8 tomorrow, will probably see the GTR as hope this will be the virtually perfect all rounder for me.

D4 A8. totally agree with john banks, D4 is a great car, I have 2011 3 litre se exec, my audio does behave itself but traffic info volume will not respond to adjustment,yes have followed all the instructions.gear lever is most un-positive, easy to select wrong gear, poor design, and tyre noise especially on concrete roads is too loud,i run Pirelli P-zeros. apart from that the car is most enjoyable. Bose music terrific.an amazing buy secondhand 2-3 years old. Harry
