Audi A8's
56 of 56 found this helpful These are great cars (I own 2 myself) but require careful buying and maintenance. If you are a DIY'r the A8's are a good buy considering all of the pluses - AWD, aluminum, great fit and finish, loaded even in base form, extremely comfortable, very fast.
... not like buying or owning an Accord though. The A8's have some very predictable issues that will need attention. 2000 and up are better years than 97-99 which are plagued with transmission issues (although that have been some on the 2000+). Pay special attention to the transmission when test driving.
Front control arms and tie rod ends will need to be done at around 90k if original. $2,000 at the dealer, about $600 in parts if you can do it yourself.
Timing belt/water pump should be done between 80-100k. Brakes are ok and easy to change. Rear calipers are prone to seizing up. If the emergency brake sticks that's probably why.
If the instrument cluster has faded or missing pixels on the clock or odo, this is a $1,000 plus repair. Some do this when cold, others when warm. Don't let the seller convince you it's "repairable", it's not.
Strongly recommend visiting audipages.com for more buyers and maintenance information and the A8 forum on audiworld.com as well.

End of the Road
2 of 2 found this helpful I don't know, I'm a long time deadhead and have almost everything on video but I found this DVD incredibly boring. Lots of interviews with incoherent vendors...
The interview with Merl Saunders was the best part. Echo the comments about the lack of music. I was never into the "scene" as much as the music. Watching people tripping on acid doesn't hold my interest.
