Hello welcome to Audi forum ,

The A8's are Awesome cars for sure. There is no major issue with the A8's everything is rectifiable. Btw. How many miles that the car you are looking at has done?

Hope you get a Audi A8 soon

50-60k miles is okay! I'm sure there will be no major problems. But just to be safe before you buy have a mechanic look over the car, and see what he says. After that there will no major problems as long as you drive the car respectable like you plan to do. Hope you get a Audi A8 soon
