All This Talk About Allroad, S4, A6 etc...

[mkb]

Made me start thinking.  I'm probably coming up for an upgrade to my trusty old A4 18tqa.  Got about 135K miles on it now and I'll probably pass it along to my daughter in about six months when she gets ready to drive which means that I should start looking for something for myself.

So I flip over to AutoTrader.com just to check out some prices.  To my pleasent surprise I'm seeing quite a few A8's in the 90K to 110K mileage range with price tags in the mid to upper $7k from 1997 to 1998.  Not bad for a luxo barge with a 300HP V8, fulltime AWD that cost close to $70k new.  Heck, I could buy a good example on CC and still have change left over for  t-belt and transmission service parts.

If you compare the price of a used A6 to that of an A8 around the same years, they are fairly close.  So, why not buy an A8?

Anyway, that's the plan.  Lets see if it pans out.
