Default For Sale: 2008 Audi S8 (D3) 5.2 V10 450bhp in Suzuka Grey

Never listed the car here, as I thought I'd get enough interest from the Audi groups on Facebook. I bought the car from NIILS back in February 2018 when the opportunity arose, and was hoping to keep it. However, finances are such that it has to be sold. It's still taxed, but once that runs out at the end of the month, it will be SORNed. Most of you will know what these cars are like and how they're specced, so please excuse the excessive list, as I just lifted it from my Facebook ads.

£9,500

It is one of only 272 still registered on the road (50 SORNed) in the UK, and is probably unique in that it is finished in Suzuka Grey pearl, a special order paint from Audi. The specifications list is substantial, but here are the major points:

- MOTed until August 2020
- Mileage 119k (only done 5k in 18 months)
- Limited service history available as books missing from previous owner
- Audi special order Suzuka Grey Pearl paint
- Two-tone black and silver leather upholstery
- Carbon fibre & brushed Aluminium door & dash inserts
- Silver alcantara roof lining
- Audi Side Assist
- Digital Freeview TV
- Quad zone climate control
- Soft close doors
- One touch boot release
- Reversing camera with front and rear parking sensors
- Full size spare wheel
- TPMS Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
- Insulated, laminated glass with heated windscreen
- Bang & Olufsen stereo
- Extended leather pack 2 on lower dash and door cards
- Electric rear and side blinds (retrofitted)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (retrofitted)
- AMI interface
- Tilt and slide electric glass sunroof
- Heated front and rear seats
- Chromed door switches (retrofitted)
- 6 CD changer
- 20” FE alloys – Front tyres only have 2k miles on them
- Bi-Xenon AFS II headlights (with cornering)
- 2G High MMI
- Keyless Entry/Start
- Interior and exterior lights package
- Air Suspension
- Two keys

Additional Information relating to the car:

- NextBase 512GW dashcam – hard wiring kit included (not fitted)
- New air suspension compressor in last few months
- New battery at the start of June
- New rear window fitted
- New front passenger upper control arms fitted – driver’s side included
- 4 wheel alignment done at the start of June
- New ARB links fitted
- Extra set of winter mats
- Solar sunroof included (not fitted)
- Spare starter motor bought as spare

Work carried out by previous owner

- New intake manifold fitted £2,500
- Remapped for better throttle response in S mode
- Mid silencer removed and replaced with straight pipes
- New front disks

Bad Points

- Two failed LEDs in rear light cluster
- Intermittent fault in driver side headlight which affects swivelling action

Sorry to hear that you are having to sell the D3, Sean. As most on this forum will attest, its a great spec car in fantastic condition. A lot of car for the money

This is one of the best D3 S8s for sale at the moment, spec wise it has almost everything and most of the 'must have' options. I do think the price is very low but I know it needs to go quickly. I wanted this one when it was last for sale but I wasn't in a position to buy.
