11 Attachment(s)
**** SOLD ****
The time has come to sell the S8 :( Some of you will be familiar with it having been to a couple of meets and it’s now back from a visit to FiftyFive Detailing. This is a 2000 S8 in Agate Grey with 123k miles (will change a little). This has the usual S8 spec of electric seats (driver’s with memory) including electric steering wheel adjustment, a/c (blows cold too), Nokia phone, glass tilt/slide sunroof, cruise control and also has the rear blind package and bi-xenon headlights. This car has full service history including recent cambelt service and output shaft seal completed by D2 Doctor. Botang's hole has been sealed, the D2 Doctor grommets are sealing the boot and also the D2 Doctor brake upgrade is fitted :) The gearbox was rebuilt at 85k miles by PSI Tuning in Staffordshire in 2013 at a cost of £2k and it has a full service history with a folder full of paperwork to back up. MOT is due in December 2022. All tyres are with good tread and has had a recent Hunter alignment. All front bumper grilles are in place and a hard wired dash-cam is fitted. There is some minor damage to the driver's door below the strip and some other small scratches - however it is a 22 year old car. The GPS is faulty, Vag-com says short to ground to probably a corroded wire, but as the maps are out of date anyway it doesn’t make much difference. Private plate S8UHT included. I’m looking for £6,500 but will consider sensible offers. Call/WhatsApp me on 07787512995 to ask for more or arrange a viewing. I’m in Weston-super-Mare so you can even have a trip to the beach. +++ Pictures below: Attachment 28771 Attachment 28772 Attachment 28773 Attachment 28774 Attachment 28775 Attachment 28776 Attachment 28777 Attachment 28778 Attachment 28779 Attachment 28780 Attachment 28781 |

If only I did not already have four cars including two D2s!! |

It's been about a week without much interest so I think the price might need adjusting. It's hard to know what price as there are so few for sale, plus I expect people aren't looking to buy cars with low mpg with petrol prices as they are! Price drop to £6,800. mention you saw it here as it's higher elsewhere! |
Still for sale, I've had some interest so far but only low offers from people prior to even viewing it.
Hopefully it will sell soon to someone who will appreciate it, I'd take offers over £6k, not wanting to give it away! |

Was thinking about selling mine but if the offers are stupid I'm not so sure its worth it! I saw one sold at auction last month for £3.5k - about 135k miles and 2002 car. Made me rethink... |

It's not so much the offers being low but that they haven't looked at the car first, they'll probably try and lower their offer again when they do see it in the hope I'll take the money once they arrive. |
I'm going to throw a theory out there, and I'm happy to be proven wrong.
but.... I'm convinced, there is an uplift in market value for the 'final editions', of which the definition varies wildly between every person you meet. This, I think we could all agree on. But, the one thing that stands out on the 'Final Edition' is the 20" wheels, so I do believe that any S8 sat on 18" wheels is immediately dismissed by the masses, leaving it to a very niche audience of purists. We've seen this many times where perfectly nice, high spec early facelift cars sit around going nowhere, when they're on 18" wheels. To my frustration, I think this will also be the downfall of PF S8 examples, which although I personally find them a more exciting drive and more collectable, won't hold their value like the almighty 'Final Edition' So I guess what I'm saying is, in theory, if you slapped some 20" wheels on it, it would likely gain more interest at the higher price, rightly or wrongly.....:rolleyes: I do hope it finds a nice home. |
I expect you are correct there Ian. I did have someone asking if I had the original multi-spoke wheels thinking I had fitted some from a B7/B7 S4. If I was in a position to put the 20" on it would prove your theory!
I do have someone coming to view on Thursday, they seem fairly local and hopefully will want to buy. Time will tell. |
