Taking back my 04 A8...

so,

I have had a 2004 Audi A8 since May 30th and its been in and out of the shop for a total of 11 weeks until now.
I wasn't to confident with the car so after speaking to the dealership that sold it to me, they have agreed to buy it back at full cost and pay of my auto loan.
so I did...
Its had the wheel bearings changed,control arms and bushings replaced, automatic light sensor replaced, vanity mirror in rear replaced, the suspension was tilted so they replaced the compressor that was over heating, and they replaced the trunk shocks because the trunk was not opening properly, and the sunroof motor was abnormally loud.

there was also a weird problem where the car would not start and completely loose power and shut off during crank/start.
this would happen 1/10 times..however this was not fixed because it could not be duplicated.

I really loved this car and it was absolutely beautiful, but I cant deal with the thought of anything else going wrong.

I did have some parts that I was selling off the car, so if anyone's interested in a Siriux/XM module, replacement cd player that plays/recognizes MP3 cds, Roof spoiler and trunk spoiler lips in Brilliant black or 2 20in LED strips for a custom LED DRL project..
contact me..

Taking back

sorry to hear, you choose the worst year for the A8 04-05 were/are not very reliable cars.
in the future go 06 and newer and get extended warranty regardless what anybody says here.
