[s-cars] A8 topic

[Premiere Investment Properties, LLC.]

Hi all
I looked at a beautiful high mile A8 L yesterday and found the tranny 
slipped badly in reverse(the dealer didn't know about it). All the forward 
gears seemed to shift normally without issues. I can buy the car really 
cheap. It has 127K , but looks like a 50K mile car. I would like to buy the 
car, but am very leary of the reverse issue. Any thoughts what might be the 
culpret? And the cost invoved?
Thanks
Tim
