Wanted S8 D2 Final Edition

[russell22dc]

As description really, looking for a fairly nice example, with full service history either by Audi or an approved specialist.

Do not want a black car, ideally a grey.
would love the solar sunroof option but understand that’s quite rare.
Would like a grey interior, but black is acceptable.
Would like rear blind too.

If anyone has one or knows of someone willing to part with it, or can be persuaded to part with it please let me know.

Thank you
Russell

Final Editions are very specific things with very specific interiors, none of which are grey on the outside or grey / black inside (they all have grey dash, carpets, headliner, etc, but the leather is red, cyan, silver, or purple), and indeed don't have solar roofs unless retrofitted.

What I suspect you mean is a late model S8 with the 20" wheels, which come in an assortment of colours and specs, although are still pretty thin on the ground. There is a lovely purple one up for sale at the moment which might fit the bill - there's a thread in the For Sale section I think. Also consider the A8 & S8 UK Facebook group, on which there was also one posted recently although I can't remember any details about it other than it was a dark colour 02.

Oh also, a full Audi history is unlikely these days since Audi stopped supplying most parts for D2s back in 2018. Most dealer techs have never even seen a D2, let alone know how to look after them Independent specialists are the only option now.

Good luck

Here's the one on FB. Aqua blue, platinum grey interior, solar roof. No blinds or 20s, but those are easy enough to retrofit.

Mine almost fits the bill but I’m not parting with it yet, sorry

2002
Dolphin Grey
Grey Interior
Solar sunroof
I bought a rear blind but I do not enough skill to fit it

I’ve just booked it in for a timing belt, thermostat, rollers etc.

I still have a few other mechanical and cosmetic jobs to sort out and then I will be happy.

There was a grey one on Facebook recently and another one on EBay. Not sure if they’re still around…

Here’s one on gumtree but the price is a little optimistic in my opinion. It needs some TLC and it will need the gearbox or the gearbox sensor (F125 switch) looking at.

This was the one I saw on eBay not too long ago.

Hi. Thank for the replies.

I have now requested permission for the FB group and will look on there.

Ricky D, judging by your gearbox comment, I take it that around 100k miles means an almost certain gearbox issue ?

Thanks
Russell

Slight thread hijack, but if you have the instructions it's a lot easier. You can find them here, so one less excuse

An idea of your budget might help those on here to assess whether you're in the right ballpark.

Also, black is best - but I may be biased
