That's incredible! What have you done to keep it running for so many miles? I'm assuming a ton of diligent maintenance I've got 66k on mine and am determined to have it last at least half as much as what you've done.

It does need some sorting out, with rear brake pads, a motor mount, some suspension refreshing, and is throwing codes on the VCDS that show some electronics have gone south like the parking sensors and lock buttons on the door handles, and a large evap leak, (and some oil leaks) but nothing too scary. I wrench on these myself to an extent and am familiar with what it takes to keep them up to speed. the interior is almost perfect with really only some minor wear on the passenger bolster and a small tear in the driver's side. Homelink does not function, which I need to investigate, but the rest of the interior gadgets all work as intended. Admittedly, the hood and front need a repaint with a lot of rash, but no major dings, etc. I probably am crazy buying what may be the least expensive and highest mileage V10 S8, but I absolutely love it. I am going to start commuting an hour or more to work and wanted a comfortable and special car that I didn't mind putting a ton of miles on. My goal is to hit 500k!

Bravo and congratulations! I’m glad to see 1) photos of your car - I’m mildly surprised there’s not a “sticky” with Forum members photos of their cars and 2) that high mileage cars are still running strong. My 2004 Audi A8L had 175,000 (mostly carefree with the exception of a few electronic gremlins which started popping up) before I sold it and that was primarily because I wasn’t driving it much.
My 09 S8 had 94,000 miles when I got it - barely into “middle age” - and have since put on another 3,000 incredibly wonderful miles.
So cheers and here’s to longevity!

Thanks! i'm getting an oil analysis done on it (and the 911) and will hopefully know even more soon. Still pulls strong! For $9800 I couldn't go wrong!
