Good luck...

Had a 2005 A8L. sold it for S550
Hey I had a A8L, loved it, but I sold it for the S550. Trust me do not waste your money on the A8L. Ask the dealer how many techs they have that can work on the A8? They will tell you one or two. Then call and schedule a service. It will take up to 2 weeks for an oil check or warranty work. Mercedes takes my car no questions asked. Rides smoother, has more horsepower and you will never want to buy another car. Good luck....

I live 10 minutes from Biener Audi (Manhasset, Long Island), they are one of the largest in the US. I have 5 friends that took an A8 when their S500 leases ended, all love the car, and no one has had any service issues at this dealer.

by your comments you keep leaning toward the audi. You could watch this thread for the nect 2 years and see all the positive comments on the S550 but you have already made up your mind on the audi.
Dude just get it and save us from the agony. If you hate it, trade UP to the benz.
