Hey guys, potential 2018 E63 Wagon owner

Hey everyone, I currently have a 2017 Audi RS7 but am looking a jumping into a preowned 2018 E63 Wagon. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this car? Also, Carfax said that the differential was checked and axle replaced, I didn’t read anything about that being problematic on the forums. In regards to the CEL that some owners are getting do you think it’s in the clear being as though it has over 8k miles?

I don't see a reason (big saving) to go with this 2018 when you can get 2019 for around 120K and ordered exactly what you want.

Yeah, I understand what you guys are saying. It was nice but I was not exactly blown away today when I drove it. Maybe I will look into building one.

18 E63s Wagon 15 GL63 (sold), 10 Turbo TT MT, A36 Bonanza, 20 JLU Rubicon
I hear a dealer in San Francisco stocks them...
i just bought an 18 on Friday and I absolutely love it!

learning curve is high on the tech... diff needs oil changed at 2K

Also, there's a chance the CELs are due to a bad batch from a supplier (or a software fix, no one knows), so it might just be a matter of time/mileage with an early build. Newer cars have, anecdotally, had fewer problems on here. I've got a April '18 build with 7k miles that has only had a bad tailgate switch. Otherwise it has run perfect.

At that price, might as well go new.

I've owned an RS7 and the 2018 AMG e63s wagon is so much better in room and handling.
They are both rocket lead sleds in a straight line but the wagon actually has a better AWD setup than the Quattro and you can feel it in the twisties..
