I'll tell my butler's driver. I believe he has one for his special needs teen daughter.

We had a 19 q8 traded if for a GLE 53 for a couple years and just got a 25q8.My wife has had quite a few nice cars and the q8 has been her favorite. The q8 have had alternator problems but they finally extended the warranty on them. I did see someone of FB say they had to do a water pump on one and it was almost $9k lol. I’ll dump it before warranty expires or extend it. One of my best friends is a GM for 2 Audi stores in Florida so I do have that on my side.
