Hello everyone, today I almost brought my very first Audi. It's a A8L before I buy I just wanted to check with others to see if they have had any major issues? I live the car, it will not be my everyday car, so should have much ware and tear. Was 2013 a good your for Audi cars?

I would research some independent reliability websites to get a reasonable idea as to whether 2013 was a good year. It will vary by model and your experience will vary based on how well the previous owner cared for the car.
I have a 2005 A8L I bought in 2008 when it came off lease. Routine maintenance is reasonable but repair items can get a bit expensive.
All considered I think it is the most capable car I have ever owned. I live in the Pacific Northwest where AWD is a definite advantage and the A8L has it in spades.

I would recommend posting this in the A8 D4 forum. You might want to go to that area and do some reading. You won't find very many issues with the 2013 A8. Also issues might depend on what part of the world you are in and what motor is in the car.
