ForeverMaker Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I am a wagon guy but it is really frustrating living the in US. Speccing out a new allroad put me at $50k the way I wanted it... but you can only get the 2 liter 4 cylinder. No thanks. So for the past year I was figuring out what I wanted for a daily. If I was going to go the sedan route I didn't want anything too normal so I landed at a used big body Oodi. Keeping an eye on the market wouldn't you know right around the corner at Toy Barn got one in pretty much the way I wanted... 2014 Audi A8L Extended wheelbase 4.0 V8 Twin Turbo Luxury package with Valcona diamond stitched leather Heated/cooled/massaging seats Double-paned sound glass Pano roof Warm weather package Cold weather package Rear seat comfort package w/ 4 way climate 20in wheels Still under warranty.. etc etc. I did not want the face lifted '15 because I think it looks way too much like an A6 although I suppose they all look alike regardless. http://i.imgur.com/VE35vhj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WMzWpZA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ftbW3HT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/i64tjdL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vPwzC2a.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pLMDVyv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XcQsIq3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rhiGmrG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6DLfol8.jpg This thing is HUGE. You can't really see the scale in pics but geez I think an A6 would have been completely fine :dumb: Plans: Well you would think with a sticker of over $100k the first owner would take a SMALL amount of care with the black paint but sadly they did not. Probably went through the dealer car wash every time it was in for an oil change. So it is going to need a full correction. Already did some testing and it is not going to be an easy job. Will clear bra the entire front end and some other bits. Tint and then possibly HRE wheels in the future. Possibly wrap the wood trim although I actually don't mind it. APR tune will get me 545hp and 629tq. Other than that not much else. Will swing by C&C sometime and get some decent pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Beautiful. Your plans sound like exactly what I'd do, but add front plate removal to the list. I actually like the wood interior trim and factory wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 loved it man. I've always wanted one but I'm an AMG fan so E63 wagon for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looks very nice! That interior fit and finish looks like a 200k car, not a 100k one! I heard the Toy Barn is the Rape' tho? Why not try to source through Jordan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Beautiful. Your plans sound like exactly what I'd do, but add front plate removal to the list. I actually like the wood interior trim and factory wheels. Plate is off for sure! loved it man. I've always wanted one but I'm an AMG fan so E63 wagon for me New or used the wagon market was just so frustrating to me so I bailed. Hopefully will be back to wagon life in the future. Looks very nice! That interior fit and finish looks like a 200k car, not a 100k one! I heard the Toy Barn is the Rape' tho? Why not try to source through Jordan? I did try Jordan was very helpful but nothing was really coming up at auction. He did confirm the Toy Barn pricing wasn't too far off... and they did come down a bit so in the end it wasn't too bad. Dealing in the middle of winter probably helped. The real rape is the insurance on these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Great to hear from you, Ryan! Those are just bauce cars. As I get older, a top-of-the-line luxo barge seems like the way to go. Yes, there's no stick, but the powertrain leaves most of the stick-shift competition for dead anyway, all year round. Yes, they are expensive, but when you realize the performance package you get with a chip and solid wheels/tires, it can't be beat. Congratulations!

TTQ B4U Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looks great! Correcting it's not too bad. Loves microfiber for cutting. Polish out with CarPro Essence and then coat it and be done. It's going to be awesome with a tune. awww.. are you and Tim twinsies now!?? That boat is big. Fold down his back seat and mine will fit in his trunk. and no that's not a valentines offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Beutiful car, mind if I ask what it set you back? unless you mentioned that and I didnt see it. Im not a fan of wood trim but that actually looks pretty nice against black leather. I get the performance advantages to a chip and tune but aren't you worried about voiding the warranty?

Doc1647545523 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Very fine car. I like these better than the BMW 7-series, and I've owned both. I'm thinking it just needs some Rally stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 You should rent out some of that trunk space for the local mafia. Or you could make a few $$ driving Uber Black and do your best impression of Jason Statham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zx2guy19 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Daddy like. It looks like the majority of these are the 3.0T...if you got it for anything around 50k I think you did good. Very nice man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
