My 2013 S8 has 46k miles. Out of warranty. Bought it used 2016 for $48k [original sticker$130k] with 36k miles ...it came loaded with 1 defect: night vision camera was cracked. Didn't care so bought the car. Got all season tires to avoid the swapping twice a year. AC went out...$300 repair. It's a dream so far. It's a Sleeper.... Fast. Really comfortable. Most don't know what it is ...but those that do nod in respect.

KZfaq life dealing with background noise! S8 is a neat car but I would not want one out of warranty. Gallardo brakes! Appreciate the updates.

11:50 I disagree that it will depreciate to a “$5,000” car. These are kind of the last of a breed and I feel them still be desirable and not just brought them out to nothing. Obviously made this video years ago and a lot has changed since then but even then I don’t think they would be dirt cheap cars at any point. Yes, they will depreciate more but I think most of the depreciation has already happened and these might be a great fun budget saloon. These can be bought for under 30k now.

I just got an S8 yesterday 2013 with 107k miles for 28k$, and the owner installed carbon ceramic brakes for 17k$, and Forgeline wheels for 7200$, in my opinion it’s a great deal

Congrats on the new cars. I traded a A3 3.2 for the GLA45. I had a solid $6k bill if I kept it. Ouch

Can’t wait to see what you replace it with

Your nicer than me. I just meet my clients there. I personally do not care for clients riding in my car. Too much liability. Each his own. I remember a lady who sold high end properties in Greenwich CT. She drove a 911. I asked her don’t you prefer to have your clients in your car. She said there is nothing that can’t be said while at property or on my cell. She also said clients are loyal to you or they are not. That resonated with me till this day. Audi is cool but it is money pit out of warranty.

I've always been curious about these massage seats they put into luxury vehicles these days. Is it comparable to an actual massage chair with rollers or is it like a Walgreens vibrating pad that heats up built into the seats?

The trick with cars like your S8 is to keep it as long as possible and then scrap it. I have owned my 2003 S Class Mercedes for 15 years. Its cost me about $7500 in maintenance and repair during that time. I am still running it and I have no plans to sell it any time soon.

That suspension for compressor and 2 front end struts plus labor will be about 4k. Sucks

Beautiful car. Can't wait to see the next daily

The S8 is a special car

S is not comparable to M or AMG. S is more compatible with 550 in Benz and X40 or X50 in BMW. RS is competitive with AMG or M. Usually a tune is needed to unleash the full beast on RS vehicles.

$3000 for waterpump😧NO thanks!

Those cars are meant for people who buys them new and seels them at an outrageous depreciation to handy mechanics entuziasts. It's an amazing car, you just must to understand it. Who cares if it depreciate, it's like dumping your wife because got older...

I loved our X3. The interior was so nice, I cared less if you had a Rolls or anything. Super high quality leather and immaculate wood throughout. But I stared having mechanical problems at the 8 year mark. My extended warranty was going to run out at the end of the 9th year and I was quoted $13,000 FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I sold the car and got $9,000. Not bad since I bought it CPO for $29,000 at the three year mark. I now have two Teslas and take care of the battery scrupulously, Only charge to 80% and as a whole do not abuse the cars at all. Just drive them. And they are really fun to drive as they are glued to the road and are fast in a way an IC car cannot be. The power is instantaneous and linear and I never need to put my foot down and the regen braking saves the brakes big time. Probably wont need pads till at least 50,000 miles. Just my two cents. EV's are the future now. Take heed and do not buy another IC engine car. 4

Thank you for the knowledge Glenn, picking up a 2018 tomorrow yahoo

MY dream car!

Had an Audi A7, was a nice car but I traded it in for a new 2020 mustang. Truth is I prefer the mustang. The Mustang has bags more character and great fun to drive

So if my math is correct....30,000 miles @$1.40 per mile is $42,000 which is what the car cost you Not sure if the time frame was given on this? As was stated in the video these cars do depreciate literally down to zero, but at that point the owner is not going to put the money in it to use the parts and service that it requires due to the car's value proposition

Legend or what

Thinking about trading my c6 corvette for one s8 2013 or 2015 not for daily driving

Those twin turbos on the 4.0 are known to blow due to oil starvation due to stupid screen design and also oil separator issues......most people who know this won’t buy that car or the A8, S7, S6.....shame on Audi for that one

Glen what’s your new job and what’s your take on the current state of commercial real estate?

I was thinking of picking up the 2016 - 2017 S8 but im concerned about its reliability and the amount of money thrown in for just maintenance.

I want to guess M2 Competition but when you say sports car, I think you mean an actual sports car. 2021 Supra could be a possibility but if I had to do one guess, I'd have to say a 2015+ Viper replaced the McLaren.

How are you going to lease a car when you put on 20k miles per year? Don’t most leases cap at 12k or 15k miles per year?

Always wanted one what are these like

Good video however why did you not build/price and place an online factory order a new fully loaded 2020 Audi S8 when it came out for about $150,000. Also why would anybody want a used car anyways I do not understand the popularity of used cars just buy a new luxury or sports car for around $150,000 to $200,000 fully loaded any time you want to replace an older car in your fleet.

So you forgot how much money you will pay in overage fees for mileage on that lease car.

He’s Just talking about expenses.......change the title........ and by a Volvo....they are great cheap to own and run......Good Luck ! Maybe you should have bought some Tesla.......stocks then you wouldn’t have to worry about this topic !

Ahh a sad day in Audi land nothing drives like a s8 I know I have a 2015 by the way did you get rid of additional wheel set up if not im interested thanks😣

Is it normal for burn oil that low mileage?

🤣@3:07 that's the same reaction you get when you have to do a test drive with a passenger who won't stop talking during filming

Glenn, do the S8s suffer from oil leaks similar to BMW 750i?

First time you get hit with that out of warranty repair... Bye German luxury car. Hmm if I were to guess your next sportscar I'd say evora 400. Make me jealous Glen 🤣

Congrats....you just got rid of 2 maintenance nightmares

Hi, really enjoy your videos, I'm looking for an Audi S8 to buy, same model as yours, I know cars like these can be expensive to fix sometimes, but my concern is, if a car like this can hold up maybe +100.000 miles without major issues and doing all the regular maintanance and maybe some extra work. My question to you is, even if it has expensive services, can an Audi S8 (D4) hold up and last a long time?

Is it really expensive to own the S8

Ugh. Keep mentioning new sports car but not telling us you tease

The old car the new job the new car. The this , the that Trust me his clients in back are scraping at the windows to get out of this guys car.

Had the factory and the extended warranty till 2025

🥱

At least u had the seatbelt on

You got it wrong bro..audi rs models is what competes with bmw m and amgs
