Agree.

It's been on for about 2 weeks now. At that price it should be a fast sale.

Numberplate lookup says
Tax due: 01 March 2015
MOT Expires: 06 February 2015 - maybe it needs some work?

Very similar to my spec, apart from the wheels, and only 8 miles away.

I'm wiling to go have a look and ask some questions if anyone is interested?

It doesn't seem *that* cheap. I mean, not suspiciously so....

Must be a last minute decision. He's left had a tank of fuel in it....

Worth a look. Sometimes there are genuine bargains to be had...

Well there you go, that's the reason.


Fuel is depreciating rapidly in price; he wanted to get rid of it before he loses any more money on that tankful

Looks like my old one actually I know it's the area still.

30k more on it but essentially was a bloody good car.

I thought it looked familiar when I viewed the pics! I was looking through the S8 gallery just last week and came across your post and pics from 2011, the wheels are what made it seem familiar, quite distinctive.

When I got mine back in September after having the inlet manifold sorted the garage rang me within a couple of weeks and said they had another S8 in with the exact same problem and could I provide the contact details of the guy who did the repairs. I wonder if it's this one, and maybe he's had quite an outlay on it and just wants rid?

I'm tempted to go and investigate now, purely out of curiosity

Hi, what's the inlet manifold issue? / what's the outlay to fix?

Asking as I recently bought a similar mileage d3 so wondering if that's a potential problem I should be aware of??
