I'm thinking about replacing our D3 with the facelift 2015 L 3.0T. I did read about all the options, for sure to get Driver Assistant Package, Premium, Panoramic roof, cold weather.
I'm checking out cars with less than 45k miles.
What should I'll be looking out for, although the car should still be under warranty.
I believe 3.0T has been a great and reliable engine.
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Louis

I have a 2015 SWB 3.0 and you are right in that it is a bulletproof engine. Most Audi technicians would agree as well. I have most of the options you are looking for. The drivers assistant with adaptive cruise is great on a long trip. I never used cc before buying this car. I routinely get 30 mpg on the highway. Overall it's been a very good trouble free car. I have 28,000 miles on it. Now, that said, I would recommend that you at least test drive a 4.0 - especially a 2016 when they bumped the HP to 450. I drove a 2017 recently and the difference in acceleration and overall power is amazing. When I bought my car 3 years ago I was agonizing over the S6 vs my car. I opted for the A8 due to the room and comfort and interior finish and because I have a 4 mile city commute. I figured the 450 HP would be a waste. I can tell you that I've second guessed that decision more and more often. I think the D4 with the 4.0 would have been a better move for me - especially with the Quattro sport package. In 2015 it gave you nicer wheels and the Quattro rear diff with torque vectoring. They changed it in 2016. Anyway, good luck in your search. You can get find the 3.0 for Honda Accord pricing these days which is a bit depressing given what I paid! Cheers.

Thanks for the info, I don't need the 4.0, it's always congested here in the Bay Area regardless of day or time. I've read the review, no 20" wheels for me either or sports, road noise and I don't care for stiffer ride.
Yes, the price of the car drops like crazy.

I have 2013 A8L 3.0T only issues I had with the car are: sway bar rubber making noise when one of the tires is going over small mounds in the pavement. Also, rubber seal for my panoramic roof was burbling. All of it exchanged under waranty car so far has 80+k miles and no issues. It is great engine and with stage 2 APR can give you enough power.
