Default 2013 Audi S8 question regarding reliability and overall financial cost of ownership!

Small backstory, been a Lexus fan my whole life (22 years), never been a German car fan except for Audi, I'd take any generation s4 over a c63 amg.

So I never really looked into an S8 till my dad started getting curious about one for himself so i looked into it and was hella surprised I that I hadn't heard much about it till now. It's a beast of a car, beats a 4.2 R8 to 60. But I haven't seen much in terms of long term tests, regarding reliability, tire wear, other maintenance, etc. These are things that can add up on the financial side of things...

If anyone has any personal experience or any kind of info, it shall be much appreciated!!

Wrong forum for that year S8. Post in D4 forum. I own one (2015).

Better idea: read D4 forum for a while first. You will learn a good amount simply reading back a few months, focusing more on new and prospective owner posts.
