The Audi looks and run great, but it has a salvage title. Someone repaired the front end and now they're trying to get rid ofbit.

At 89K miles, count on a trip to an Audi specialist for a trans service if it has the DSG transmission. It uses a special fluid and filters and has a specialized fill procedure. When I had my S4 done, it cast about $160. with taxes.

You mentioned B and O in the Audi. That is a 99 year old Danish top of the line stereo and electronics firm. A good pair of Bang and Olfson home speakers can run around $20,000.00 each. Sadly, they have used their name on some cheap products too. (I was impressive with my pointless knowledge until a jerk named Google came along.😅)

To me, the A7 is the flagship Audi. I know the A8 is the top of the range but, the A7 is much more sporty and usually equipped the same. That my friend is a bucket list car if I decide to switch from BMW. Well, If Tyler get an Audi Dealer that is. I refuse to drive to Dallas for service any more. Thats how I ended up with the BMW 2 months ago!

I watch every video but I prefer the wrenching segments. Will you ever get to your friend’s Jaguar? The walk around videos are the same as Randy Shear’s videos and presumably provide you with filler content. Thankfully your personality is so much more interesting and pleasant than Mr. Shear. I hope your channel continues to grow. I just don’t get why your following and subs are not 100 times greater than AAR.

Those '07 S550's have the timing chain sprocket issues (same as the 06-07 3.5 V6 balance shaft issues)...though I'm guessing that one with almost 300,000 miles is well past where that would have been addressed!

Even though the Audi is now quite an old car, the switches and interior all sound solid and well designed. By comparison the S class design is looking quite dated and not just because it's been well used. The sound of compartments opening and the plasticy switches makes it sound cheap and not premium at all.
