Just bought a Audi A8 W12 2006. Anything I should look out for? Any common problems?
Cheers Mark

Is it not a bit late now that you've bought it?

As for the petrol, things cost if want to enjoy them. As for the price it was cheap well under trade price.

They're cheap because it's an extremely small market that wants to buy them.

If you're in a position to be able to ignore the running costs then they represent a bit of a bargain for the sheer amount of toys you get with one.

It also drinks oil slightly slower than it consumes fuel.

I had one on loan from Audi for a few days. It was like travelling 1st class at the pace of Concorde.

Averaging 22/23 mpg which I didn't think was bad (my TVR was only 18mpg). But luckly I own my own garage service/fuel station.
