it's a 3 year old SE with one owner, full history and a big enough spec. B&O bling? You've obviously never heard one!

CAP is a GUIDE and is notoriously low on A8 values, and besides, are you expecting to be able to buy at trade prices?

That 2009 A8 is worth way way way more than 14.5k, 16.5k would have been a steal IMHO, it's only just over 3 years old!

Spec wise, first off I doubt they are replica wheels, and even if he does have a shed load, he still had to buy them from somewhere! Other than that, it has the very desirable B&O, HARD DRIVE nav, AMI & DAB, 1 owner from new with FASH, light package, keyless entry with fingerprint recognition and I'm pretty sure the leather is the optional extra (a lot extra!) leather too.

It's taxed and MOT'd, prepared for sale and comes with a 2 year warranty! It's worth at least 20k all day long.

As for Oscar himself, I found him a bit 'off' over the telephone to be honest, but found him a pretty nice guy in person when I went to look at a D2 S8 a few weeks ago - I may have bought that car, but ultimately the cream interior had not been very well looked after and was very mucky so walked away to wait for a black interior car (maybe). It was smoking a bit from the back of the engine, but sounded sweet, suspect the smoking was nothing major, just a couple of gaskets or something similar.
no fingerprint , all facelift have dab , no ami ,
extra is b&o and sports seats , i rang up audi for the spec ! the warranty was paid for by the private seller , aftermarket rubbish

nice pop out tweeters nothing special well not for 4k anyway heard it in an s8 before , the grilles look nicer though.

ok, you know best, let us know when you buy something

PS Just because it didn't leave factory with AMI doesn't mean it doesn't have it now. And if Oscar Goldman says it has fingerprint recognition in his ad, it probably does. The HDD nav and DAB may well have been standard by 2009, but it still puts it above earlier cars that don't have it

its a start button

"FINGER IGNITION START" read the add properly its just another convoluted way of deceiving just like failing to mention SE

when i come to sell my house i will ensure the agent puts "FINGER IGNITION LIGHT SWITCH IN EVERYROOM"

is this a bargain too ?

LOL, CAP values? You're not buying a Mondeo. I sold my A8 at £4k over CAP. Go buy a D3 at auction, probably not the right car for you if you're so worried about a few k here and there. Have we got an ignore function?

it's 2 years older than the other car, non OEM wheels, less desirable LWB (unless you're a chauffeur), what do you think?

And when you put your house on the market, do make sure you get at least 3 valuations and then make sure you go with the lowest one
