Hard to believe given your skepticism of the "fake."

Too good to be true? I'm looking and VERY tempted. What should I watch out for? Thanks!

Miles? And? Fat seats? I'm fat- well, not really. But what's the point? Should it come with recaros?

What should I look for to evaluate used As and Ss?

The miles are pretty high for a 3 year old car. Average miles are @ 15K per year which would put it at @ 45-50K. And "highway" miles or not, is still a bunch of miles and will effect not only your ownership but its resell value down the road.

Concerning the seats, alot of early S8's had this option. They are not as desirable as the standard sport Recaro's but they're not bad. It does take away from the uniquesness of the S8. My S8 has the luxury seats and I wish it had the sports, but I don't think about it too much. The seats shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
