Just an FYI, I paid the AA for an inspection on my D3 before I bought it, think it was £240 (its based on engine size and mines a 5.2) and I got a 24 page doc from it, super thorough

Might be worth shopping around

Default Advice

Many thanks for all the advice; as suggested I will probably go take a look at the 'Essex' one, just to get an idea of what I am looking at, but will search again for a Facelift A8/S8 as suggested! I have asked Tomson for more details and will, if I have the time, look at this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-S8-4-...4AAOSwPCVX4qbZ

Many Thanks Again!

Neil

Nice colour, id suspect its either been debadged and rebadged (incorrectly) or its had some paint at the rear? maybe just a correction, but why would you take badges off such a car?

I'm sure someone with the tools will be along soon to decipher the options it has, etc, but interior and exterior looks clean enough, money seems fair for the mileage, especially if there is evidence of gearbox work, if not, haggle room

And what's going on in the boot? LPG install or something else?
(Look at the lower set of pictures in the eBay listing)
I approve of the colour, inside and out, and the alcantara (not suede!).
Windows look like they may have extra (illegal?) tints.

That boot arrangement is very unusual. It looks like a coolant filler cap and dipstick in the corner"pocket" thing. Doesnt appear to have LPG pipes and gubbins under the bonnet so what is it??

There isn't a full size or donut tank either, the LPG vaporisers aren't present so its not that. Good spot though!

Very unusual, looks professionally done whatever it is. No obvious extra switchgear inside the cabin, though the photos are poor.
