A great car. Very well maintained with all maintenance records. Timing belt at 100k miles. Regular oil changes. Brand new tires. A super fun and safe car. 2nd owner. I am selling because I moved to the city and don't need a vehicle. Thank you.

This modification to the length of the car does not, however, spoil the classy proportions of this understated but elegant all-aluminum sedan. In fact, without a glance at the rump-mounted badging, you may have trouble picking out the longer model. Curiously, rear-seat legroom only increases by 2.7 inches, as the rear seat is relocated about 2.4 inches forward in the car and lowered a bit. The move boosts rear headroom by 0.3 inch (and shoulder room by a smidge), and it should reduce the degree to which rear-suspension inputs perturb those occupying the heated rear thrones. Among its chief rivals, only the stretched BMW 7-series trumps the A8 L for leg-crossing spaciousness. All stretched A8s come standard with rear-seat sunshades, a navigation system, heated seats, and Audi's electronic stability program (ESP). This year all A8s get new Sideguard curtain airbags, a third shoulder belt in the rear seat, new softer Valcona leather upholstery, electroluminescent gauge lighting, and a mild restyling of the bumpers, headlights, and decklid. Our A8 L was 119 pounds porkier than the Audi contestant in our November comparo, but at the track, the L did the 60-mph dash in just 6.6 seconds, besting the shorter car by 0.4 second. An 18-inch wheel package is also offered. Stability-enhancement technology is added this year to help wring the maximum dynamic benefit from those new tires. ESP is standard on L models." - 2001 Car and Driver Review
