I agree with you on that. My dad picked up a new Q5 3.0t and wow. Hence why I have the bug for something new. BTW his reason for the Q5 in order of importance was: ride height, interior finish, handling, pickup and go. Although to be honest, the 3.0t is far too much engine for his needs, but as soon as that thing goes off warranty I'll tune it and add a pulley and it'll be more car than I can handle. Lol

Speaking of which.... damn that's some serious depreciation.... looks loaded too, extended leather B&O etc. 2013 Audi S8 4.0T quattro, $61,990 - Cars.com

I can't think of too many cars where a chip and some race gas gets you a 10 second car for ~60 grand.

Eh. $60k for an S8 where you have no idea how it's been driven. I can see both sides of that coin.

The S8 I test drove was about that price and mileage, and the body was beat up. I'm too picky for that, and I suspect a lot of you are too.

Yea I would have to look at it in person first, but it does have a CPO which means it passed some sort of rigor, granted not a very high bar but still something.

This makes me feel like I got a steal. I purchased mine with 19,000 KM (11,000 Miles) for $73,000 CAD. Mine has every possible option except for HUD which I don't even know if it was an option for this car. I negotiated for 2 days to get that deal though.

Is the interior trim in that car wood? I thought all S8's came with Carbon Fiber.

Yea you did! I think Carbon is standard/norm but there are wood options, especially if the original owner cracked open the exclusive catalog.
