*not all photos are current*last photos shows the car when I purchased it More photos can be found on Instagram @carsandcoffeetaylorIf you like the GMR DS-1 19" wheels seen in some of the pictures then we can work out a deal. Audi A8L W12With the rear 2-seater option and entertainment package, this is a unique car to begin with. Then you add the beautiful engine under the hood (6 liter W12 with 450hp and 428tq) and it becomes a very rare car. Yes, it is a 12 cylinder. No, it is not a V12. The W12 was developed for VW's race car. With it's unique layout, it is smaller and allows Audi to use their phenomenal AWD system to be used in this "limo" of a sedan. You can find the same motor in Bentley's. This is a very large car with a massive back seat but the body is aluminum so it is light for it's size. I'm selling because my family is growing and we need an SUV. After an Acura, Mazda, Mercedes, and Land Rover this is by far my favorite car I have ever owned and it will truly be missed.

It started with just the dark gray (almost nardo) wrap. If you want to keep the snow camo but want a different logo on the side (or just remove the logo) then I will do that for FREE. If you want the entire wrap removed ....... read last paragraph. MaintenanceThis car has been awesome over the years. I put a new radiator in around 90k miles, replaced a small part of washer fluid hose, and haven't needed anything else (sort of ... keep reading).I purchased longer bolts to go with my spacers and two that were side by side broke right off while on the highway. I replaced a number of things that ended up bending due to those two bolts. You should also know I have replaced ALL of the bolts in the car with quality ones.The engine, transmission, and electronics on this car have never given me any problems. I do the oil changes myself with Mobil 1 every 5k miles or less.I will be replacing the front brake pads within the next two weeks (even if it sells before then). Rear brake pads were done about 5k miles ago. The BadI'll start by saying that I have been ripped off before by buying a car online and I don't wish that on anyone; except the guy I bought a car from (not this car).This is NOT a show car. I used this car as my daily from the day I bought it. I still drive it every day and it is used to promote the magazine company. You will find small things here and there that I may have missed or forgot but remember that it is a 13 year old car. There is a very slow leak in the air lines to the two front bags. It takes a few hours to get the car too low to drive. With the massive tank (set to 175psi) and dual compressors they get filled quickly. I leave the management on auto and it keeps it at the right height while driving. We haven't found the leak but had the struts and bags sent back to UAS to make sure that's not where the leak was; pretty sure I know where it is but haven't cared to get it fixed. The taillights and turn signals were replaced with LED's and the car thinks they're not working (they are). There is a small exhaust leak in two flex pipes under the front part of the car. This car has a crazy amount of catalytic converters, two resonators, and pressure cut-off valves. It is amazing how quiet this car is. Even with an exhaust leak it's still quieter than most cars out there. Air Bag light is on. No idea why. I replaced front seat sensors, clockspring, and it's still on. At a very slow speed I did hit someone's back bumper. Just hard enough to crack my front bumper and grill. So I upgraded to the S8 front bumper and it looks so much better. Under the wrap it is black. A shop was trying to jack my car up and didn't realize how far under the car the mount point is and put the jack through the sideskirt. I replaced it with a new(er) one which is midnight blue under the wrap. The vinyl wrap is done well but what is underneath is the problem. I don't know if it was the dealership I bought the car from or the previous owner but a few parts were repainted and I'm pretty sure the whole car was resprayed with a clear coat - it was not done well. While wrapping the car, pieces of clear coat and even a layer of paint were being pulled off (not all the way to metal but like there was an extra layer of paint). With the those problems, a black front bumper, and midnight blue sideskirt, if you're going to remove the wrap it will need to be repainted.
