1- 2016 A8L 3.0T done 31k miles priced at USD 34k
2- 2013 A8L 4.2 V8 done 50k miles priced at USD 23k
3- 2016 S6 done 48k miles priced at USD 34k
Are you absolutely sure that the 2013 A8 has the na 4.2L V8? I believe the 4.2L engine ended with the 2012MY. The twin-turbo 4.0L V8 debuted in the A8 in the 2013MY along with the 3.0L supercharged V6. Doing an internet search appears to confirm this. Perhaps your part of the world was different, but I’d confirm it first.

Yes it is a late 2012 production, so it was registered as 2013MY V8 4.2L
