Default Aghhhhh vibration

So tested for the vibration and lo and behold could feel it at 3k. Nothing at idle or 1k interestingly.

Just sent a note note to the dealer letting them know and asking them to commit to resolving before I purchase otherwise I walk away.

The lack of adaptive cruise control is also weighing heavy on my mind. Had it in my last car (Genesis G80 ultimate) and it’s a nice way to drive on the highway.

I'm curious what the dealer said and if you walked away.

Default Didn't go with the '13 A8, bought a '15 A8 instead

Dealer came back and said they weren't prepared to fix which was a deal-breaker for me! Walked away, I believe they sold the car a few days later to a less informed customer

I actually purchased my new-to-me A8 yesterday from an Audi dealer

2015 A8L 4.0T with 65k - Silver with black interior

Options:
20" 10 spoke wheels
Convenience Package
Comfort Package
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Package
Panoramic Sunroof
Full LED Headlights
Black Alacantra Headliner

Dealer had replaced front brakes/rotors, exhaust system and completed 65k service

Out the door was $32.5k plus taxes etc.
Extended warranty (Route 66) with my credit union for 3 years/36k miles from date of purchase for ~$2k

I'm happy - got to drive it to work today

No pictures yet but I'll post to the forum soon!

Welcome to the group. That smile on your face? Don't try to wipe it off. I gave up after about 6 months of motoring glee and I grin like a toddler every time I push start.
