I had my '02 BMW M3 bought back by BMWNA. And my frustrations were the same, if not, worse than yours. It took five months to work things out. during that time of ownership, every time I looked at the car, I was disgusted. Therefore, I know what you speak and i know the bitterness associated with an unacceptable ownership experience.

but, i don't go to roadfly.com or any other BMW forum site and bicker about my past ownership experience. The moment I recieved my check, I was no longer an owner. My connection with the car was cut and I was glad to move on. BMWNA acted accordingly to my situation and it would appear as though that AudiNA did same for you.

i don't know if you're helping the situation or making people believe that the new A8L is a nightmare. I, for one, have logged over 3500 miles in eight weeks and have not had a single glitch. i can't say enough about how much i appreciate this car.

I'm here to help out all the other owners in whatever way I can - even if it's just to give them verbal support. If someone has questions regarding buybacks/lemoning, i would think that your expertise would help. But it appears as though any issues, whether major/minor require your participation and your unsatisfactory experience.

At this point, it doesn't seem as though you're interested in buying an A8L again. For those that come here looking for information, let them decipher from the current owners' experiences whether this car is worth it or not. Problems are posted on every car enthusiast forum on a daily basis. The A8L is not immune. but i don't think we need the negativity of someone who no longer owns the car and feels that it is necessary to make statements that are, at times, inappropriate.

I also understand that this forum is also like a brotherhood. I'd like, as a member of AW, to keep it that way. It also means that I will do what i believe is right to protect my interests and those of my other Audi enthusiasts.

And whatever car you're driving now, I hope it is treating you to a much better ownership experience.

Have a nice day
