Wanted Audi S8 d2
Hallo all
I am in the market for a D2 s8. I am very specific about what I am wanting so will list my requirements in order to keep the post brief. 1st generation preferred, 1998 perfect. Will consider newer, 40 valve but prefer the older ones. Must be metallic black In colour. Interior either black or a light colour. Cream etc no strange blues or red interiors. Less than 70,ooo Mls Proof of service history. All standard, no modifications. Don't mind about having to do some mechanical repairs but please, no basket cases and no body work issues. Seller must be willing to allow an rac inspection. I am not a trader, this car is for my own personal use as a second car / hobby. Let me know if any of you have a good one you are looking at moving on. Cheers.

Don't bother viewing the one on auto trader at a dealer in london. Meets your requirements but gather it's rough

Yeah, paid rac £400 to check that one out, sas motors. It's advertised as excellent condition and in fact it is a spares or repair. Not sure if I feel like I lost £400 or saved thousands.

Cared for cars are very rare.
I'd suggest to drop colour and year requirements to expand scope. Will take time and patience. When I searched my car in 2010 I only looked at most expensive examples. That helped. Finally bought the most expensive 2002 car on the market at that time. That helped. Good luck. Keep us informed about the progress.

Car is £6000 and because it's 200 mls from me I needed to make sure it wasn't a ringer or damaged repaird etc. Gearbox is a £3000 repair and is leaking transmission fluid on that car. Timing belt has not been done. So £4000 on top of purchase price before you start. Would you pay£6000 for such a car?

Ah I apologise its back up near £6k again, not sure why he has put the price up again, interesting.
I am always in the mind as there are so few decent D2 S8s around you need to travel. Mine was an 800 mile round trip and worth every mile driving to find the right car.

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
