A lot of car for the money, great value

About 3 months ago I bought a 2004 A8L with 70K miles (black on beige) for $16K. I gave my BMW 530i in trade. At the beginning I missed the sportiness of the Bimmer but after a while I got used to it. Considering the fact that the car is a lot bigger and heavier than the Bimmer it is understandable that it doesn’t sprint. My A8L has lots of gadgets that my Bimmer did not have. A few days ago I put 19 inch OEM wheels + new summer tires on it, man, it rocks now. I used to be a Bimmer fanatic and was looking for a 750Li for a while but after driving this car I am reconsidering. So far knock on wood have not had any mechanical issues with it. It is a lot of car for the money and very much fun to

From the inception of the sale to the delivery was the most professonal and best experiences I have ever had.Shelton Motors are first class.Having owned a 745iL,911 and trading my 2001 s55 amg I can assure everyone this is "THE CAR"at a fraction of its real value.Having paid a $102k for the amg I still feel I was"Taken for a ride."Not only did the Mercedes ABC suspension FAIL and leak often.The car stunk like a bad escalator.Mercedes couldnt fix it.The cure was simple I traded it in."Wow what a car".With production numbers low it wont be like the mercedes or the BMW."They are like bellybuttons everyones got one".

Lets see, I have only 400 miles on my A8L and it has spent 4 days in the shop because the MMI system locks up or just will not start. I really hope this is not an indicator of things to come. I had to get rid of a 745i for similar iDrive errors and recalls. Audi needs to nip this in the bud quickly before they end up buying back all of their first year models.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!! The 19" wheels give a sporty appeal to the exterior. I tried out my friends BMW 745i (same price but smaller) and the i-drive was TERRIBLE!!! Audis MMI, however, is VERY user-friendly!! Audi, you made the PERFECT CAR!!

This car is outstanding. The quality, ride and performance are superior to any car I have driven. They figured out how to make a luxury car perform like a sports car. It is far superior to my 2000 A8 - no comparison really. It took me about a week to fully master the MMI - not bad - and now I marvel at all it can do so easily.
