Well after a month of searching, nearly buying and A7 toying with a B*W
and thoroughly driving my wife bonkers I think I have a deal on an A8 a 2013 Sport Exec. They seem to come well spec’d up and come standard with BOSE, the four camera parking system, 20’s and the nice sports seats, as well as all the standard goodies.
I have just viewed another one today with adaptive cruise and night vision, but it’s five grand more expensive and I am already pushing the boat out to get what I want so the line has to be drawn and despite the love of gadgets I think those looks expensive!
I had a close shave nearly buying a 640D B*W. I have to say that engine and box take some beating, and it makes a cracking sound for something drinking from the black pump and supposed to be very good on the mpg too. TBH if it wasn’t for the appalling dealers I think I would have been in one by now as it left me grinning from ear to ear. Really lovely motor and they have started to make them look so much better and the interiors are finished nicely now too.
But I have come full circle and back to the 8 as I loved my last one and there’s nothing covers the miles and makes you feel damn comfortable as a Audi A8 imho. The interior takes some beating as a place to spend time. The biggest plus is they sail under the radar too not shouting about their capabilities like some. The thinking mans motor
If all goes to plan I will post up some pictures soon the one I am after is in Emerald Black (which looks black till the sun hits it then it looks very dark green) with a Silk beige interior really looks stunning.
