Anyone thinking of selling an S8 soon?
 

I need to make a decision on what to do. Its proving very difficult finding an engine for the S8. The old engine is a write off, but I haven't the heart to break/sell it as is. But I am running out of options. I will need to have the car transported back to my house as its unfair its sitting there taking up space at Ben's then have it sent back across when a new engine comes about to have it fitted.

Stupidly I didn't bid on a 2001 S8 with a bit of cosmetic damage that went last week as was busy at work. It went for £1.5k and had Extended leather pack 3, 121k miles 4.2 AVP 360BHP V8 with LPG, Avus wheels, Xenons etc... Could have easily took the engine out and made my money back or kept the rest as spares :mad: I just have my fingers crossed that A8 Parts put in a bid?

If someone is thinking of selling a facelift S8 in the future, could you please let me know? I would love an 02. Not to fussed about 20s/Xenon Pluses as can swap them from my car but they would be nice. 100k miles or less, will consider higher mileage if above average spec.

Anything considered. Budget is around £9k. Please let me know, even if its 6 months down the line you are considering selling, that's fine, I am not in a silly rush. The one S8 I was thinking of buying turned out to be a cat D. :(

Sorry to hear the engine's a write off Amar, that really sucks :(
I'll keep my eyes peeled for you mate, hope you get sorted soon.

Mine has now been reduced as i need the space-it's an awesome car but has to go.
See the link-hopefully the reduced price will show-it's now on for £5995!!!

That is a great price Alastair for what looks like a very clean S8 and a colour I have always wanted. I think its actually Avus, aqua blue is what Kunwar (KPS) on here has. Any more info on the spec?

So are you breaking the green goddess now Amar?, seen the gearbox and xenons up for sale.

Hi Dezzy, not breaking it. Had the gearbox for sale as I was going to buy an RS 6 one, but the guy is taking forever to reply to my e-mails...
The Xenons I had for sale (and sold) before the engine went bang as I upgraded to Xenon Plus lights.
Just want to get back in a D2 S8 quickly now, but there are none for sale that tickle my fancy at all. When I wasn't looking there were loads an loads! :-(

Opinions on this?

Great price, not sure on the colour though. Rang Audi RE spec and they said it has double glazed windows (Don't want to start this debate again, but thats what she said) :ROFL:
It also has leather trimmed pillows! Bose, Xenon Plus, Electric glass sunroof, Electronic tyre pressure monitoring, Bose, Car phone.

What do you guys think?

Wow, seems low milage and a good spec and a very low price !

Whats wrong with it or has the s8/a8 market dropped heavily in the last year or so.

Also no interior shots....is probably custom baby poo interior, with gold and gingham :ROFL:

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong..... :tuttut:

:ROFL:

Back on topic Amar, the link shows a very nice car in a rare love it or hate it motorsport colour.

Like yours, the photos don't do that blue justice. I'd have a look mate as it is very keenly priced IMO.

No harm in having a nosey. :)
