Default Mileage and d2

I am not sure about d3s but with d2s mileage should not be an issue. The engines are awesome they will do 300k easily....it's the gearbox that needs to be considered....so long as it has been serviced or replaced you shouldnt have issues....and you can tell this car has been well looked after and I think there really won't be much out there that compares....the spec on this car is unreal...and the mods have been tastefully done....I think the reasoning on this should be as follows: car bought at 3250 plus LPG at 1800 wil cost just over 5k....the car should then last at least 50k miles...which is about 3yrs say....at which point the car will be worth at least 1.8k even with 200k...since the exhaust, wheels and lpg kit will still be worth 1500 alone...that's at a cost of 1k a year...which really is amazing.

Anyone looking for an a8 with toys...this is the one in my book...you can tell from pics of the engine bay it is mint!!!!

I agree its perfect, and would buy it had I not spent so much getting mine to where its at now as daviesbikes one has everything I wanted when I got mine. I just cant justify purchasing it so soon after getting the one I have.

Any buyer seen your car will want it straight away.
I am sure u will get plenty of offers - but stick to your gun and I reckon u will get of offer very close to your asking price!

PS: How come u not taken the quads off too?

I agree - I would love to buy it - but I can't really stretch to 5K for a 99-plate. Interesting u mentioned lasts 50k.....I have the same feeling, but for the LPG perspective.....I have heard by 50-60k on LPG the engine would have been quite worn by the LPG.....though many have also said their LPG cars last longer than that....

LPG isn't that economical, if you want a luxury car that is cheap to run get a 3.0 TDI A8.
The A8 4.2 V8 on LPG will have similair fuel economy to a 2.5 V6 petrol engine'd car, but if the V8 noise is a must then LPG will make it a little cheaper to run, don't make the mistake I did, sell up a 50+MPG BMW 320D and expect the A8 4.2 LPG to give you the same return.

As a matter of interest, what do the 3.0 TDi's do in the real world mpg wise?
