Default audu a8 w12 long 2005. Reliable?

Hello friends. I need urgent advice. I found a 2005 audi a8 w12l beautiful. And I am debating whether to buy it. Does anyone know what this car has problems? Must fuel with 98 octane? Is the composition good?

No. The W12 is impressive, but finnicky. And if it goes, it's at least half the value of the car to repair (this is according to my local Audi tech). Excellent engine, but 6 years old is risky.

Thanks mate.
You have a audi a8 w12?
I want to buy a car driving 50 000 miles.
That much?
What is dangerous after 6 years? Engine? Gearbox?
Thank you. Raziel
