Default 2009 S8

I just wanted to say hi and humble brag that I just picked up an 09' S8 with 98k on the clock. I used to have a D4 S8 back in the day and enjoyed Audi ownership. I hated my EV so decided to swing the other way an get a V10! I'm looking forward to doing some decarbon service. This forum is a great resource, thanks.

Congrats! I had an 07. The real drawback I see is Audi does not support enough parts to keep the low production engines on the road. Have fun!

I love the 2011 S6 but it's more of a hobby car and not my primary transportation. I needed a toy to wrench on and this supplies ample opportunity. Depends on your situation. It's definitely feels 13 years old though.
