Silver one just like mine...
...at University Audi in Seattle.
These people are treating me EXTREMELY well.... They will sell this car at MSRP too, I think.
FYI - Just got my 5K service, all is well - had the door seals lubed..... Only problem so far.

BS. Should be able to punch $2K or more below list. Buy one in MD.
See Rich at Rockville Audi in MD.
This is the most overpriced POS I've seen from Audi.
But still a tasty car. They've fixed the steering (still numb, but at least it TURNS!) with the ESP, dialed in some instability and let the ESP straighten it out, the tires grab, even with all season performance tires, the brakes are great (still a fat car at 4100lbs) and the engine is ok (I don't care..there will NEVER be a stock car with sufficient horsepower..this car should have had 500hp twin turbos or 450hp naturally aspirated...can Audi spell VVTEC...see Honda!) but this is a nice interim piece)
$75K is just too much.
Get real. It's not a Merc. Never will be a Merc.
Audi has hit homeruns with the A6 and the A6 4.2 (which was still a little steep...got over $3K off list, next time deal from invoice, memo to self) but the S8 is still an old-tech interior, it is SOOOOOO 1994 even with the partial fix to make it as tasty as the A6 4.2Q interior it just makes it tolerable. Besides, there's no pushbuttons for the CD/radio on the steering wheel although the tip shifts mucho quicker. I'd give up the tip in a ventricfib for a 6speed manual (what is it with car makers these days!) and then it would be reasonable to put the radio controls back on the steering wheel. Give me back the heated steering wheel too!
Is Audi listening? WTFO?!
