So, who's brave enough for this S8???

Mega miles, engine management light on, brake light on (with carbons). Having had a look at the pics, the rear brakes have Pagid pads in with carbon discs. Surely they shouldn't be Pagid?

The mileage is high, I'd probably stay clear just because it could be a money pit and at that price it's just not worth it when there is two lovely examples with warranty for £11.5k and 80k miles less, that car realistically isn't worth 5k I'd say just because of its condition.

This car pops up for sale every now and then - nobody seems to hold on to it for long. Very basic spec except for the ceramics. I'd say it's only really good for parts now, not that the discs will be worth having if they haven't been replaced at any point in the car's life but can still make use of the calipers I guess. Wheels could be worth having after a refurb, headlights and grille, bootlid maybe, factory tinted rear glass, rear lights are manky, exhaust is filthy - I'd imagine it would have to be close to £5k to be attractive to anybody.

I saw this the other day whilst browsing online and I think it is way overpriced. Cheap for an S8 but with the cost of possible replacement ceramics and that mileage it's not worth it.

I feel sorry for that car, she's obviously had a hard life. Look at the hole in the passenger seat.

Buy the one in the OP and this one, put the two together and have a clean car :)

Shame for the Cat C marker
