FS in CT: 2005 A8L, silver/blk long term owner
I bought this from the original owner about seven years ago. Current mileage is 205k and does not burn a drop of oil. Documented oil changes since new, always synthetic M1 in the 100k plus miles I’ve put on it. Just did a 700 mile round trip a few weeks ago. I installed factory BT module when I bought the car and it works flawlessly, also has AMI connection. Kuda mount with 1/8” aux cable and iphone lightning cable run for charging/streaming. Also has OEM XM module. Timing belt, water pump etc., done at 127k, all OEM parts. Tons of stuff done, check out maintenance spreadsheet. I have all receipts going back to when the car was new and all of the usual suspects have been done at some point (brakes, rotors, control arms o2 sensors, both CATS, wheel bearings, radiator, oil cooler pipe, cam tensioner, etc.). Transmission has been serviced regularly, either fluid/filter or just fluid. Shifts flawlessly, as good as new.
Non smoker, no kids, interior is in great shape. Way better than a 200k normally looks. It’s always been garaged, the body is really nice, no dings or dents. Both bumper covers could use a respray if you are particular. The wheels are 18” 5 spokes and look brand new, zero curb rash. AC/heat works great.
Two issues:
1) fighting a lean code on both banks, intermittent CEL. I’m getting a thumping noise inside the airbox when the car is first started so I’m pretty sure the sec air injection pump might be bad.
2) the MMI center button scrolling function does not work and a replacement board did the same thing. Every other button works flawlessly but you can’t scroll through anything and right now, change the date (battery is brand new today). This needs some more troubleshooting.
I’ll update this but this is a good start. Car is located in CT, asking $3,600 and includes an older IBM laptop with Bentley manual already installed and working. Also includes set of OEM winter mats.

price drop - $3,200 (need to sell this month)
Installed another MAF, cel is off and running fine. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere if you are looking from out of state.
