Wanted: low mileage D2/D3 S8
 

Evening all

I am possibly in the market for an S8, either D2 or D3 variant (maybe both :D)

Must be low mileage, sub-60/70k.

Condition, history and provenance more important than spec

Would also consider a UR-Quattro, with less emphasis on the mileage

Please PM me if you have, or if you spot something, suitable

Cheers +++

Expensive and will probably need some money spending on it but certainly looks nice.

I think we've discussed this before and Ian's opinion was that this looks like a special order car, rather than a final edition. Mark and I have the only two FEs in this colour combination that we know of, and we don't have nearly as much leather! But FEs were definitely a moving feast, so I wouldn't rule it out.
That said, if there's a deal to be done after a scan and a check on gearbox service history, I'd jump at this - IMHO, it's lovely!

There have been a couple of low mileage D3 S8's on ebay/AT but they are overprice in my opinion. This one isn't too bad considering a half decent spec (although no B&O) and is a facelift

As noted, spec is not important, FE is not important

History, condition and provenance are

And not being £15,995 :D

I don't mind paying for the right car, but that's almost double what it's worth

These are interesting, first one looks a better buy to me (not the most important factor, but spec is good), provenance and condition look good and price seems not far off reasonable

Wishing you luck Sarg.

Our pending house move is now confirmed for 1st September, after which I will finally have garage space to store something 'interesting' so the search for a low miler S8 (D2 or D3) steps up.

Ready to buy if the right car comes up

Shouldn't really be considering a D4 as I'd like something either close to the bottom of its depreciation curve, or on the way back up, but this seems a lot of car for the money

Just to update, this is still a live search, albeit paused until lockdown is over.

Let me know if you have a suitable S8

With the ever increasing list of parts 'no longer available', I think I am putting this search to bed, unless something really special comes available.

My motivation to buy is partly to see some return of investment, but I'm beginning to feel that prices of the D2 will never increase much from where they are simply because of the lack of availability of parts.

Tell me I'm wrong?

Is the same slowly happening to D3 parts?
