    Buying an A8, any tips or know issues?

    Hi,
    A friend is considering buying a low km (50-60K) A8, around 2005-2006 model.
    Are there any known issues with these, anything to stay away from or any 'must have' items?

    Any advise will be much appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Maarten

    Extended warranty with a year or so left would be a must for me. Many of these cars probably haven't had an easy life and they'd be damn expensive to repair!

    I would have thought the opposite ? Being an A8 they would have had an easy life and would have been well serviced due to the nature of the owners..
