Ronin is a brilliant movie in my humble opinion, the best scene is where Deniro ambushes Spence with a coffee cup :-)
The S8 is an impressive sedan, all things considered. You can find a 2001 Audi S8 in good condition for well under $40k USD. Unfortunately the A8/S8 suffers from one expensive Achilles' heel: A hand-finished aluminum shell and frame. The last time I checked, there are two authorized repair facilities in North America: One in California, and one in (?) New Jersey. Where the typical Audi maintenance costs - and as an owner, I have a little context to comment - do not kill your wallet, insurance will.
I would rather go with the mid-tier model of any luxury car (5-series, A6/S6, E-class, etc.) than a bankbuster. Just my humble opinion!
