Need some opinions
Hello Guys,
I'm looking at purchasing an 2012 Audi A8L at a dealer from my parents neighborhood in Atlanta with only 43,000 miles and is a single owner car according to carfax. When I went by the dealership it looked like there were no problems I could see with the car, turns on fine I didn't notice any hesitation and the few electronics I did look at seems to work.
The car comes with rear entertainment with the original Audi headphones, night vision, ACC so it's loaded. The only things it doesn't have it the dual pane glass and the B & O sound system.
For $33,000, do you think this is a good price? My phone messed when I was out there but I will get the rest of the pics.

You need to drive the car and make sure the ACC cruise works fine with no issues as even a alignment for those sensors can cost you about 700-900
also take it on a bumpy road and make sure there are no rattles, creaking, clicking or any weird noises from the suspension.
on the mmi screen play with the navigation and make sure its getting satellite signal and its correct with your location as some early a8s had a bad/weak gps antenna.
play some music with the bass and treble a lil up to see if u hear any rattles from the front tweeters usually the center speaker is bad/blown.
open and close the mmi screen make sure its working properly.
im sure recalls have been taken care of since its a audi dealer selling it ...
besides these issues the car is pretty solid

I would take it for a nice long test drive and then when you get back spend some time playing with everything. You'll not only find out if something is broken but you'll learn about the car.
Also keep in mind if you're willing to travel a little ways and you don't mind a car with 40-60 thousand miles you could have a 2013-2014 4.0t car at around that same price.
