It should last you into very high miles as long as it's well maintained and taken care of. Looks like a pretty nice deal to me.

How many miles does it have on it?

[CrazyEights]

yea, it all depends on the mileage since they've done the maintenance. i got mine at a lucky price due to the situation, but mine i got w/ 58k miles about 2-3 months ago. Not sure exactly how much that's supposed to be worth from a dealership, but I'm guessin around $13-14k. This guy was looking to sell me a black '00 w/ 78k miles for $13k right before i found mine.

btw, it does look super sexy with those wheels and the tints.

obviously he didn't get it - but i bought my a4 avant from them (WFC) and it had all kinds of problems - leaking oil, rusted drivers door (they covered it up nicely before i bought it, it didn't start showing until about a week later), drivers' heated seat doesn't work... they fixed the oil leak, but wouldn't fix anything else.

needless to say, my father in law was going to go back there to buy a merc next year, but they lost his business for how crappily they handled my issues.

now i'm looking for an 04+ A8...that air suspension is sexy...

[CrazyEights]

yea, i feel you on that one... a horror story.... but yea, that's my goal too eventually. an 05+ A8... seems like most of the other people on here have all bad things to say about the 04 model...
