Finally brought home my S8 :)
Hello,
Last week I asked you kind folks some questions regarding used S8's:
<a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/147731.phtml">link ></a>
Last Wednesday night that deal fell apart, my Credit Union had a discrepancy with this small auto dealer. Through my frustration I immediately began searching for another S8. After 20 minutes of searching on the internet I found a beautiful S8 in Orange County, CA.
My wife got home from work and I told her what happened to the first S8, and that I already found a new one. She was tired from work and bless her, sucked it up and we drove down to Carmax.
It is funny cause my intentions were to just go look and see the condition of the S8. I then would tell the credit union and they would arrange everything.
Well I don't want to turn this into a long post so basically I walked out of Carmax with a 01 S8 with 18K miles!! I was so confused and in a daze. I had to jump on it cause I was leaving for the weekend on Thursday and I did not want to lose a pristine S8 like this.

The previous owner must have never driven this car and kept it garaged the whole time. This car is pretty much brand new. It even has the new car, new leather smell. No scratches, no dents, drives so smooth...
What a great weekend! 5 of my buddies & I drove a RV to Laguna Seca packed beer and tri tip and camped right by turn 6. I saw the Audi R10's fight off the Porsche RS' for the victory @ Laguna Seca (even though they already won the manufacturers championship)MY first time there cheering on Audi as a Audi owner.
Here are some more pics:
Notice the apocalyptic sky in some pictures So Cal is burning..
18K with a 36/36 warranty!

It must have been fate, if my credit union had not been so difficult I would have never have found this car..
Next up are a set of deep dish 19's. Thanks for all the info. My wife and I are so happy with this car. Thanks for all the help, and making my decision easy.
