2010 A8 or 2012 A6?
I have two options that I have narrowed it down to: the 2010 A8 is a 1,000 more with 40K miles while the A6 has 70k miles.
Which one do you think is better?

Having driven both, I'd go with the A6. The A8 of that year has the infamous 4.2L V8. While not a bad engine in terms of power (but... it's lacking), it is an absolute nightmare for maintenance. If you your timing chain guides fail (and the likelihood of that is fairly high), you have to pull the engine out to replace those since the cams gears are facing towards the firewall.
