Hey guys this is my first post here so hello!

Well I am looking at buying a 2003 Audi A8L as the title states, and I was just looking for some advice on what to look for since it is a bit of a drive for me to look at it and will most likely purchase it on my first visit if it checks out.

So here is the one I'm looking at getting - http://www.buyritemotors.net/vehicle...?VID=141827621

99,632 miles, 2 owner car, maintenance done regularly, I have the Carfax and I know not everything is listed on them but it shows the following major maintenance done:
- interior trim repaired
- Rear output shaft seal replaced
- One wheel replaced
- Recommended maintenance performed
- Front brake pads replaced
- Rear brake pads replaced
- Recommended maintenance performed
- Four wheel alignment performed
- Two tires mounted and balanced
- Brake light switch replaced
- Brake fluid flushed/changed
- Fuel injection system flushed/serviced
- Water pump replaced
- Oil and filter changed chassis lubricated
- Tires rotated

The last entry was March 2008, the rest of the records from the second owner do not show any work done, just licensing the vehicle. It was purchased by the second owner at 74,560 miles, so the current owner didn't put many on it.


So what do you guys think. It looks well maintained and service kept up on, so I think it will be a good deal. I know inevitably I will have to fix it eventually, but for the first year or so do you think it would reasonably need no major fixes? What do I need to look for and ask when I go to check it out or on the phone with them? I want to make sure I can drive this home and at lease make the winter without repairs.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks!

 

Hello and welcome. The car you are considering is of the previous A8 generation, refered to as D2. You would probably get more replies and better advice if you posted in the D2 forum (this is the D3 forum).

 

oops sorry! moving it now
