The one in Texas didn't have very good pictures and has higher mileage, but is better optioned and still looks quite nice. The one in Miami looks pristine in the pictures and lower mileage, but doesn't have the B&O. If it were my money, I'd get the one in Miami, pending inspection of course. That said, they both look very nice, and either seems a good choice from what the ads state.

I just picked up a 2007 A8 with 65K mi and my favorite option is the B&O sound system as seen in your first example. I was also fortunate to find one with a transferable platinum warranty with 2 years and 35K mi left on it. It wasn't the only one I saw with an aftermarket warranty. Looks like you have two nice examples.

I love the B&O for the wow-factor, but truth be told I've had aftermarket Pioneer & Alpine systems that both sounded MUCH better 15 years ago. I've also had the old Nakamichi system in a Lexus, and it destroys the B&O any day of the week. Currently, my wife has the stock system in her Lexus, no Mark Levinson, and even that sounds better than the B&O.
So while some people think it's a dealbreaker, I wouldn't if you do prefer one car over another. Then again, if you're patient for exactly the car you want, it's certainly a nice-to-have.

I like the one in Miami, Lower miles, New tires and looks to be in excellent condition plus it said that all the routine maintenance has been completed ( of course you will have to check into that).
I agree with Jack88. depends on what an inspection finds.
But I like the blue.

For me it would be options. B&O is nice but not a deal breaker. The FL car has ACC and ventilated seats which unless it's a unicorn means massage function as well. The massage isn't that big of a deal but I love the ventilated seats in the heat. They don't work fast but on long drives it sure helps. Also I love ACC.
Get them to take pictures of the sticker in the trunk to verify options and make them send you a vcds scan. If they are not willing to do that then look elsewhere. On the texas car i would make them send you more and better pictures.
If you decide on one post on the forum here and see if anyone local will go look at it for you. It's a good bunch of people on here and if someone is nearby they will most likely help you out.
