ive been after an s8 for over a year now, but cant seem to find the car for me, so ive decieded to put in some more money, this will give me more options,

but still there is nothing, with the colour and mileage.

im looking for black,blue,grey or silver with black interiour, around 80000 with cam belt service and full audi history, 2ish owners, 2000 onwards

phoned up on this one, as the specs good for me apart from mileage,owner has not had it longand now trying to sell on. made up excuses for me not to view, suspect?AUDI S8 on eBay, also, Audi, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 06-Jul-08 22:20:47 BST)

another perfect car but mileage puts me off a bit.

2002 02 AUDI S8 4.2 QUATTRO AUTO/MANUAL GREY on eBay, also, Audi, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 06-Jul-08 20:30:00 BST)

or if anybody has a car like the above who is thinking about selling let me know.

Well, if the guy in the first one is avoiding too many questions then common sense says to walk away. Plus, it has the Sony screen in the rear but its the wrong colour for the car - cream screen on grey headlining, sticks out like a sore thumb... Also, why is every photo taken somewhere other than his home address?

Second one is high miles which isn't a huge issue in itself but its quite a low spec despite his claims. Also, for a car of that value 'for the enthusiast' - you'd expect him to shell out the £100 on the paint job before he listed it... What else hasn't he fixed?

As for knowing any cars like that, I could be pursuaded to part with mine, which seems to fit your bill exactly, but it wouldnt be cheap... :-)

Same car. Now has multi function steering wheel and 20" 9 spoke wheels.

Still dont really want to sell it, but apart from putting a smile on my face every time I walk out of the house and see it sat there, its not doing a great deal....

With baby 3 on its way any day the reality is that we'll spend more time in the Ford Galaxy

as even if the kids could all fit in the S8, I wouldn't let them near the alcantara

Email me - enquiry@a8parts.co.uk to discuss further...

Agreed on the sore thumb after market screen. Yuck.

The 2nd one instinctively appeals more to me than the 1st on (despite the fact I prefer Alcantara over full leather).

But if you can buy a fine one from someone you know and trust, that'll be the best way to go I guess.

Nice one!

You might need a new belt in 10K miles, unless already changed?
