Audi S8 2007 by greatbrian(m): 8:15pm On May 30, 2020 |
I wise Nairalanders. Please I need review on the car Audi S8 2007. Am an ardent fan of Audi and I got an Audi A4 around November last year which have spent a fortune fixing different issue since I bought it, from water collector to brain box. Infact just last week out of no money I still spend over 200k buying brain box etc. I intend buying another Audi since to me Audi is elegant and beauty and won't even let people know how heavy your machine is. Now issue is am thinking about about Audi S8 2007 what do you guys think of this car and is there anyone who have used it before? The maintenance and other factor about it nko. And I need to know the landing cost of this car Cc Heavenlybang Nurey Siena Audi experts can also reveal any Audi product you feel I can opt for 1 Like |

greatbrian: Audi S8 is in the league of S class, an advice from someone who drove and cared for a VW phaeton with W12 engine. 1. The S8 is a very luxurious vehicle and in high class, the maintenance is only pocket friendly when you do the right thing at the right time. 2. It needs a good technician to handle it's issues when they arise, someone calm and patient who find out things before dabbling into it. 3. When something breaks the part are a bit on the high side though depending may be hard to source locally but eBay got your back. 4. Depending on how often the car is used, things do fail often but gives warning and never breakdown but goes into limp mode. from your statement if you can dool out 200k at a go without soaking garri for a month then buy a clean title, low mileage well maintained Audi S8 unit 13 Likes |

greatbrian: Haha. My statement is all I have to say, chief. It's a numbers game. People drive S Classes, they're not dead. An S8 is essentially an S550, but with the added expenses Audi introduces in this country. An Audi typically costs more to own than a Benz in Nigeria. Owning an S8 means you're probably owning one of the most maintenance-intensive cars around. Like all cars, treat it right and it will treat you right. Apart from when things randomly decide to break down. That's when you have to shell out money. Things randomly break down on all cars, but you'll just have to spend more on the S8. As I said, e be like say you like to dey troway money. You seem to be having issues with an A4 already. The A4 is an entry-level car. The S8 is Audi's absolute most technological car. Do the math. 5 Likes |

Re: Audi S8 2007 by greatbrian(m): 9:45pm On May 30, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: The A4 is due to bad hand monitoring it. I posted the fault here on Nairaland. From the first day it came in, na water collector issue to fuel pump to another one. Less than 6month of used sef. But I have fixed all the issues now after it gave other issues last Sunday. Got a new brain box 160k yesterday, got a new fuel pump and some other stuffs. The car is in perfect shape now. But I Shud I say I have seen the end of the speedometer of the vehicle so I feel have enjoy all the pleasure it has to give. Thats y am going for a bigger and faster version. 1 Like |

[quote author=uboma post=90138061] True! If he hadn't deactivated, I doubt you would have spent these much on your Audi. I pray he returns.[/quote Men its painful. Funny thing is as a matter was going down, another one was coming up. And the only mechanic I have is more arcade so he only does guess work based on his experience with Volkswagen and those old Audi. |

greatbrian: Your picture shows a 4.2L V8 and a 6.0L W12 there is no V12 there. The W12 is a very responsive engine power on demand racer, competition destroyer. Fuel economy is Manage-per-gallon But if the engine spoil for your hand, my brother nah millions of naira be that, for all it's worth for the 3months I had the phaeton at my Beck and call never had engine problem, most issues had to do with electrical issues. 1 Like |

greatbrian: Why not do an S Class? It'll be considerably cheaper to own. The only major issues are suspension AFAIK. 1 Like

[quote author=greatbrian post=90138153][/quote] With the troubles you have experienced so far, I will remove Audi from my bucket list. As you have no competent technical hand for now, why not drop the idea of buying the Audi S8? Maintenance won't come cheap..... |
