1999 Audi A8 Review 

I've just turned 50 years old and I've owned so many odd European cars.......but the 1997/98 A8 is the BEST!! I've owned over 20 Audis adn never been into an engine or transmission for major repairs! I'm buyig a 1997 A8 this week for $3300 bucks and it's really amazing to think when new this car cost over $65K US!!! It's free'd us up to also own our 1998 Aston Martin DB7 coupe! Two really great cars.....paid for in full..... with cheap taxes, cheap insurance, and Aston is going up in value now! You can never go wrong with an Audi A8 as long as it's been well cared for and had it's fuids changed as it should. Fantastic Audis!!!!!!

british are such a british.. e38 produced since 1994 is outdated in 1999, but the Jaguar with almost identical to 1968 body is not outdated at all.

In Poland, a neighbour envies you 1999 A8 more than 2021 A8.

Still looks amazing! 👍 I love that look! 😀 Test drove an S8 in 2007...beautiful machine...!!!

My favourite model year A8..awesomeness

Just picked up a b5 A4 and seen a 97 A8 quattro for sale, tempted to pull the trigger

The E38 7 Series outdated in 1999? WTF?!

He had to slip in that his Audi wasn't a loan car so his neighbours would know haha!

Silly, silly man. He bashes the 7-Series but nowadays we all know the E38 is one of the best looking luxury cars of all time.... The A8 looks just like a big A4.

Had my eye on the D2 A8 for a while now. Will start looking for one in the near future. If i can keep my C5 A6 on the road this should be a breeze. I much fancy the understated look of this car, its design also has that retro vibe.

Lexus LS400 still running with great resale value, all other marques mentioned are landfill by this time or sold cheaply on Craigslist 😊

They didn’t even bother to display a photo of the Lexus LS.. smh.

I think the review is wrong. I don't think they came out with the 5V and chromed trimmed bumpers until 2000. Unless they did it near the end of 99. Thus known as "face-lift" model.

Can anyone who owns or has owned one of these tell me their experiences with the A8 in terms of reliability? How reliable are they generally? Beautiful car!

@1:38 wow, look how high and forward that engine is. It's almost in front of the car. lol

Ian Royal, middle name Rolls. Sorry couldn't resist.

LS400 was the real deal, they just didn't know it back then.

1:32 Look how far forward that engine is lol.

Anyone knows how much this car goes for now a days. I have saved 11000$, and I want to buy a big powerful car for vacation preferably 4.0L V8 and above and what else can I buy for 11000$?

Lol to fuel consumption....I have 2001 S8....averages 10 mpg because I drive it properly

Elegante Autos waren das damals! Und heute diese überdesignten Proletenkarren mit aufgerissenen Haifischmäulern.

Yea just go 90mph on the highway and get 30mpg no big deal

30 mpg my ass lol have the same year and everything more like 15 to 10
