For Sale: 2008 Audi S8 (D3) 5.2 V10 450bhp in Suzuka Grey
 

Never listed the car here, as I thought I'd get enough interest from the Audi groups on Facebook. I bought the car from NIILS back in February 2018 when the opportunity arose, and was hoping to keep it. However, finances are such that it has to be sold. It's still taxed, but once that runs out at the end of the month, it will be SORNed. Most of you will know what these cars are like and how they're specced, so please excuse the excessive list, as I just lifted it from my Facebook ads.

£9,500

It is one of only 272 still registered on the road (50 SORNed) in the UK, and is probably unique in that it is finished in Suzuka Grey pearl, a special order paint from Audi. The specifications list is substantial, but here are the major points:

Hi Sean,

I hope your not leaving 8 ownership for long..... your a wealth of knowledge !

Good luck with the sale buddy !

Richard.

A fair price and nice spec.
Wish I had the cash as it would be mine (wanted to try the D3 S8)

GLWTS +++

I still have my LPG D2 3.7, so not yet.

Sorry to hear that you are having to sell the D3, Sean. As most on this forum will attest, its a great spec car in fantastic condition. A lot of car for the money:love:

That's lovely, great spec and love the colour +++

If only I had the room for four Audis!

want this! need someone to buy mine though! +++

Likewise! Plus I have a house extension to get done first, if only the timing was better...

Who replaced silencers with straight pipes? Who?

Good luck with sale! +++

This is one of the best D3 S8s for sale at the moment, spec wise it has almost everything and most of the 'must have' options. I do think the price is very low but I know it needs to go quickly. I wanted this one when it was last for sale but I wasn't in a position to buy.
