Default Lemon Law S8

I was hear years ago under "floatinghat" I couldn't log in so....

I owned and A8 years back and am thinking of another sedan. I found a '02 S8 that was alemon law by back it has about 70k on it. What if anything do you think its worth? They mentioned $19K but I think that's high? I'm thinking the recall was for the "imobilizer" at at 70k miles the bug should be worked out.

thoughts, any great deals on well care A/S8's?

Could be because I am thinking about it so much just walk away?

Default 19K for a 02 A8 with 70K is within the range...sounds ok except for the immobiliser bit. prolly

nothing tho. Just some initial bugs. New cluster and recode at the deal probably took care of it.

I was just logging on to post a thread about this car!

Is there a decent way for checking out the reason a car is a manufacture buy back? Maybe Carfax or through an Audi dealer?

And if Bruce M reads this: Would it be possible to get a extended warranty for such a car and would it cost extra?

The price does seem a bit high do to the buy back status of the car but they could be negotiable.

Some warranty companies will, most will not, warrant a car with a blemished title. Great Lakes won't

Thanks I hadn't heard about them going more than once. Pretty sure I'm going to pass on it or at least let him hang on to it longer, and them maybe looow ball.
