Default 2001(Y) A8 3.7 Quattro Sport, £1100, 191K Miles


NEW REDUCED PRICE £1100

As I have now purchased a replacement A8, my old one is now for sale. The car was declared SORN 3 weeks ago, and until then has been used daily.

I have owned this car for 2 years, and its been trouble free bar a couple of small issues. Summary of current spec below.

Age: 2001 - Y Reg
Model: A8 3.7 Quattro Sport
Colour: Santorin Blue
Current Mileage :191,000
Previous keepers: 2 (1st Audi UK, then last owner for 10 years). I am the third owner.

MOT expires in May 2014.

Car is currently declared SORN and uninsured, so will need to be taxed. Test drive availability is therefore limited to a few hundred yards of farm track.


Bose Sound System,

RNS-D satnav.

Electric rear sunscreen,
Rear Side sunblinds,
Electric glass sunroof,
4 x Heated Electric Recaro Sport Seats,
4 x Electric Windows,
Dual Zone climate control,
Auto dipping rear view mirror,
Colour Maxidot (DIS) display,
Leather / Alcantara interior in light grey (Platinum) colour
Electric seats with loads of adjustments.
BI Xenon headlights (Audi Xenon Plus)


Cambelt changed in January 2012, Tyres changed shortly afterwards.

Currently has 18" RS6 wheels fitted, and tyres have loads of tread.

The car has a fully documented history going almost as far back as the PDI. There is every invoice for work carried out back as far as 2002, all nicely filed by year. Every MOT is available, and lots of tax discs as well.

Everything currently works perfectly, the car is mechanically sound having had all the important advisories from the last MOT attended to (exhaust leak, new track rod ends, CV Boot). The car has completed two trips from the UK to the south of Spain and back again.

Internally the car is 95% perfect, there are a couple of marks from child seats on the back seats and that's about it.


Bad bits

Speedo mileage display has weird issue which partially obscures the trip display 000's.
The car has seen a lot of paint spraying over the years and the paint condition is perhaps average.
The front bumper is peppered with stone chips, as is the leading edge of the bonnet.
The lacquer on the boot lid top has lifted in one corner.
Windscreen has a small chip in it.
Both foglight grills missing
Lower outer trim on drivers door is separating from its backplate.
Engine light comes on if cleared, after a few days/weeks (random) due to a dodgy post cat lambda probe connection, I have no access to the underside to fix the wiring. The probe is fine, and within spec when working (its just the electrical connection). The performance of the engine is unaffected.

Given the below par condition, I am looking for offers around £1100 for the car as it currently stands. The price reflects the general external condition of the car.

Car is located in Blandford Forum, Dorset.

I'll take some newpictures at the weekend and add to this thread (weather permitting).

Some history with pictures, here.
