audi a8 w12 long 2005. Reliable?
Hello friends. I need urgent advice. I found a 2005 audi a8 w12l beautiful. And I am debating whether to buy it. Does anyone know what this car has problems? Must fuel with 98 octane? Is the composition good?

You fill it with premium or 93 octane. Not 98 that is race fuel. The car is beautiful but it is a W12 and the service on it will be quite expensive. All depends on what was done to the car in the past in addition to what maintenance is required. We need more info on the specific car to tell you that.

Incidentally, the vehicle is registered in 2005, but it has a front grill as of 2006.

That depends on a country and even region of large countries (USA). I think that OP is from some country where premium fuel is 98 and that's what he would need in W12. Numbers also depend on a measuring system. RON (Research Octane Number) numbers are ~10% higher than MON (Motor Octane Number) for the same fuel. In the US AKI (Anti-Knock Index)is used and it is right in between previous two.
Point is that advising somebody on fuel can't be based on any local experience. Owners manual is the only way to go.
