What are your opinions on price of this car? What wheels are these? Is the auto as much fun to drive as the m7? Help me pull the trigger

Don't know what the wheels are, but in my opinion, the tires are stretched too much on those rims.

Everyone agrees the tires look bad, I personally don't see it as a huge issue tires are a wear item any other things that aren't right here?

You could buy this brand new 2015 A8 2LT Arctic White for just $1,500 more than that 2014 is priced for. Employee pricing takes a little over 12% off the price and that's what Les Stanford is offering everyone on all of their Stingrays through 2/20/2015. If the one I linked here for you doesn't suit you, I think they have over 100 at their dealership right now. Best wishes!

You can get a new one for almost the same price. So unless they would come down quite a bit on that used one, it would make more sense to buy new.

Gotta go with the crowd that says buy new for almost the same price. I noted that the selling dealer was a dodge dealer-wonder if the original owner was trading it in for a hellcat after beating on the car trying to see if it was fast enough for his needs. Just playing devils advocate....

Looks like a base 2LT w/ nav, auto, stinger stripe, aftermarket wheels, and blacked out badges & grill retainer. IMHO about $50k would be a good deal. Like others have said, upper side of $55k could put you in a new 2015 with discounts, especially when you consider that new car interest rates are easily under 2%. Used maybe 6%.

Can you tell what trim level it is? You can get a 1LT 2015 with auto and transparent roof cheaper than that can't you?

I think the auto is as much fun as the M7. Put it in manual and shift with the paddles for a fun time. Then when you're in traffic or just driving from point A to B you don't have to mess with the clutch and gear shift.

VIN says it is a 2LT Auto. (5th digit = D).

A 2015 2LT, A8, transparent roof and performance exhaust is $58,351 with CU pricing. I'd buy new at that price.

Carfax shows it also as a 2LT, from the VIN of course.

I probably won't be pulling the trigger until my c6 sells but it's amazing to know that we can get near prices like that
