D3 Audi S8's on 80+k miles. Risky?

[DeanR32]

Morning all

I've been eyeing up Audi S8's for a while now (along with M5's) and they've crept down into my price range, but am I looking for trouble with these higher mileage cars? I know 80k isn't anything for modern day vehicles but the expense of repairs on a V10 does worry me.

I drive a BMW diesel at the moment, and as capable a car it is, it doesn't make the right noise for me

Cheers

Thanks for the replies

So as long as everything works, and bodywork is all straight (obviously) then they don't generally throw any curve balls at you at that sort of mileage?

I suppose if you keep on top of things it will do six figure mileages easy enough?

Great replies on here guys

I know the S8 and M5 are completely different cars but the specs of the S8's seem to be much higher the the BMW's

When I get time I'll have to get out there and drive an Audi.

On a lighter note, which exhaust note do people prefer? M5 or S8?
