Default A8 buyer's guide?

Oddly enough older V8's are extremely rare in my neck of the woods, UR S4/6 are avail in the low teens and late 90's A8's look very enticing....I recognise there would be very little the average shade tree mechanic could do with an A8 so bearing that in mind what should I look for when purchasing such a beast?

Here's the link to what I'm looking at:

Crap, sorry have to cut and paste the link....

Default You may be surprised how easy it is to work on the car doing some basic stuff with help from...

audipages procedures. Sparkplugs, brakes, oil change, that kind of stuff.

Default VAG-COM plus a Bentley CD are the first tools to buy for anything halfway serious.

Heck, you need a VAG-COM to reset the maintenance reminder.
