Did my Friday pic stir your curiosity lee?
From what I've read about the 2007-2009 S8s they don't have any more issues that are to be expected with a car with that many bells and whistles. One reason my corolla was so reliable, is that there just wasn't much on it to break. These big German cars just have so many options, the percentage is much better for some sort of an issue.
I think I'm willing to roll the dice... Thats one damn fine driving car. The one I looked at was an 09 with 75k on. Still was perfect inside, no squeaks or rattles. Doors closed like a bank vault, and it was nice and quiet going down the road.. And least until you awoke the dragon in that big V10...
