Loving the feedback! Thanks guys!

I'm going to look through the brochures in moment, but I figure I'll ask anyway. If a far has adaptive cruise control, does that also mean it has the top view cameras? Or are those separate options?

Another question, I stream a lot of music via Pandora or spotify. I'd love to stream these to the car via Bluetooth. Is this possible on the A8? Obviously there is bluetooth phone capability, but what about music streaming?

Hmmm, after looking through the brochures for 2012 and 2013, I don't see top view cameras listed in the 2012 brochure. Am I just missing it, or was that not an option before 2013?

That's a 2013 and forward option.

Gotcha. I think I've decided to look for a 2013 CPO 3.0t LWB.

Can I still get the quilted seats on the LWB?

Sorry to keep posting, I don't see an option to edit my posts.

I determined from the brochure that I can get everything I want in a 2013 3.0t LWB.

Another question, can I purchase an audi extended warranty on a cpo car? I don't think I can, but I figure I'd ask.

Yes, extended warranty is available. I extended to 4 years, 100kmi. The audi warranty covers the deductible and the radio as well. Mine was about 3k or so.

Does that have to be purchased at the same time of the vehicle? I have about 11 months on my warranty then 2 years CPO. If I could add an additional 2 years for $3K I would entertain that!

I was about to ask the same question! I might want to wait a couple months after buying a cpo to make sure I want to keep the car for several years. If so, then I would definitely look at buying the extended warranty at that time.

Someone is always willing to sell a warranty.

The Audi warranty is pro-rated, so I believe you can turn it in as well for refund.

I know I could get an aftermarket warranty, but would Audi sell me their own extended warranty after I buy the car CPO?
