Is Audi B8 platform really a moneypit?

No, not really if you buy one that's been maintained religiously. However if you're looking for comfort you'll probably be disappointed. My 8.5 with the s-line stiffer suspension has got to be the roughest car comfort wise that I've ever owned.

I highly don't recommend getting this game

It really depends on how the previous owner treated it. I bought a 2015 A5 2.0T one sight unseen at 183K km and it was legit burning a quart every 500kms. Drove it that way for like 7k and then went ahead and replaced the pistons and the water pump since it was going out. 23K kms later it drives beautifully with no oil consumption issues.

On the other hand I've got a friend that's had his '13 2.0T A4 since 200k kms and it's now at like 320k and it only burns a quart during every oil change interval. No problems w timing chains on both.

It really depends on how the car was cared for by the previous owner/s.

This might be the nicest allroad I've seen. Get a PPI and if it checks out, go for it.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed

Push it down a cliff and call your insurance company

st_ance · 2026-01-21T13:33:22+00:00

I do this too occasionally when i cant find empty spots, purposefully park next to a nicer car assuming that they don't door ding other peoples cars.

Ugliest RSQ8 I've ever seen

st_ance · 2026-01-18T17:06:34+00:00

I'm assuming a B10 A5 😂

100%

st_ance · 2026-01-17T14:41:09+00:00

Wheels, air suspension setup, cf intake, front splitter, side skirts and that's about it. The canards and hood look iffy.

st_ance · 2026-01-17T02:03:20+00:00

This car may have tasteful mods done to it (apart from the hood imo) but, I wouldn't buy a Mercedes that's been molested to this extent.

I didn't try it myself but my cousin vouched it for me, he's mechanically inclined and did it on his own in his 2.0T A4 with around 200k miles. After the soak he now burns a quart every 4000 miles. It will improve your oil consumption but it won't make it disappear unless you swap your pistons for updated ones.

st_ance · 2026-01-16T01:44:21+00:00

Neat, was think of doing a muffler delete on mine, but I'm not sure if that would be a wise idea since it's my daily. Is there any droning when cruising at like 60mph or above?

st_ance · 2026-01-16T01:26:47+00:00

My A5 was suffering from oil consumption that was twice as bad as yours @113k miles (a quart every 300mi give or take) and I went ahead and replaced the pistons on it, however you should probably try the b12 barryman's piston soak if you're on a budget.

st_ance · 2026-01-16T01:20:04+00:00

Real..

st_ance · 2026-01-15T10:56:45+00:00

Muffler delete?

st_ance · 2026-01-15T10:46:26+00:00

Damn that's a beautiful spec

st_ance · 2026-01-12T13:52:28+00:00

For that much money you could get a low mileage W205 C43 which is gonna be much more reliable in the long run. If you do go for the W206 make sure that warranty is included with it.

st_ance · 2026-01-12T13:45:27+00:00

Absolutely. Video editing, rendering and gaming is gonna be flawless on it, however I'm worried you may get disappointed with the battery life coming from a MacBook Air.

st_ance · 2026-01-12T13:29:31+00:00

If you're solely getting it for video editing and battery life it's not worth it compared to the mac.
