Default New to me 2016 A8L 4.0T Sport

Just picked up a Mythos Black 2016 A8L with the 4.0L V8T at 455hp / 444tq.
Drove it home today.. still learning
I purchased the car from CarMax. I found a business card for the local Audi dealer so I test drove the car from CarMax to Audi to get the scoop. Turns out the previous owner WON the car at a golf tournament for a Hole in One shot. He added the wheel you see in the pictures when the car was delivered back in June and drove a whole 6,102 miles before giving it to CarMax... I am now the proud second owner...

Some guy won that! And took it in to Carmax? It's a real beauty, enjoy! Everyone seems to be buying Audis lately.

Very nice. And yes that decal HAS to go. If not sure have It professionally removed and dare your dealer to put another.
I still can't believe someone would win such a nice car and take to carMax to give it away below wholesale.
My big mod has been adding carbon fiber tire valve covers from Amazon. Very nice looking

What ever car Max's lowest out the door price was, you can be sure the deranged seller received at-least $5k less. I think he got a hole in one twice. One being in his head

The CarMax sticker and plate frame are gone...


I need to tint the windshield.. block some of those UV rays and protect the dash and keep the car cool in the Nevada heat.


I would like to drop the suspension an inch. Not sure if it will be with links or VAG-COM software....
