Default Hey guys! Newbie A8

Hey guys! Im a new and proud owner of a 2013 CPO Audi A8l 3.0T, white with nougat interior, panoramic roof and 25,400 miles. My old ride was a 2007 Lexus LS460 black on black fully loaded with 75k miles. Coming from a Lexus to Audi reliability was my only concern, but when I test drive the car, felt the amazing ride and received a good $$ for my old one I just couldn't say no... Super excited about it. The car is getting prepped it had a few minor issues. There was a small crack in the front bumper which was almost invisible, a curbed rim and 2 broken trim pieces which are getting taken care of... ooo and the 25000 mile service. I'm super excited!!! I should be getting the car soon any day now!!!! 😬😬😬 The 3.0T feels like it has less power than my 4.6 but it's plenty for New York City roads. My only gripe is not having the b&o sound which I never heard but people say it's amazing. Any ways looking forward to interacting with my new Audi family and hopefully getting better mpg's than I had with the Lexus!

Congrats! I'm also coming from Lexus and just picked up a 14 similar to yours. It's a great ride.

Congratulations. Your not missing much with the B&O sound system, very over rated unless you like to listen to music at 95dbs, it will play loud, the Bose system better in many ways, sounds better and warmer at normal listening levels. Enjoy. Regards. Ned.

The Bose in my 2016 is more than adequate for this old retired guy.

I too have a '13 3.0 and the power is perfect, not a huge difference from the 4.0, I drove both and it just wasn't enough to make me pop for the 4.0, and the 4.0s I drove didn't have panoramic sunroofs, which I really wanted. Congrats! and wow, what a low mileage car! pics soon...?

Out with the old in with the new! Just picked it up today and got a platinum warranty on it for 3900 additional 6 years +100k miles. Not sure about the Audi care... they want 1000 bucks for 35k and 45k miles maitnances, any advice? At the end of the day it was an emotional day today for me... letting go was very hard but hopefully the new one will treat me right. Thanx guys!
