[s-cars] S8 For Sale ... just passing along ...

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Air suspension craps out on Allroad = time for coilovers....gives you the A6
2.7T Avant that Audi should have made in the first place for probably less $
than repairing the OEM suspension so it can break again in 30k miles....get
the stupid plastic fender flares painted to the body color at the same time
and I bet it would be one sweet looking ride!

The reliability of Allroads is not very good, just ask the extended warranty
company I rep. I sell a lot of plans to Allroad owners, and the warranty
company pays out a LOT of claims to Allroad owners. They make Krasusky look
like he owns a Honda Accord.

Between the K03's if you have a 2.7TT motor, the tiptronic/torque converter,
the airbags in the suspension along with pump and level control, and the
usual instrument cluster pixels, seat heater elements, leaking
seals/gaskets, it's a very expensive car to own without a warranty.
