2005 A8 4.2 tdi
2005 55 registration A8 4.2 TDI SE, owned for over six years and well cared for and maintained during that time, one previous owner (the usual “company director”). It was registered 17/11/2005 so benefits from the lower VED bracket for the 4.2 TDI, great MPG (40+ MPG on the motorway) and awesome performance (0-60 5.9 seconds) means this is by far the best all round A8 you could buy.
It is in very good condition and comes with a comprehensive specification and history as follows: Silver paint, Black Valcona Leather interior 19 inch “12 Spoke” forged alloy wheels Sports Air Suspension Comfort seats with memory function and lumbar support Heated seats Deluxe centre arm rest Extended Aluminium Through loading / ski bag Walnut Inlays Heat insulating double layer glass Tinted windows Solar sunroof – maintains air circulation keeping interior cool Multi-function steering wheel, electrically adjustable Xenon Plus Headlights with DRL (LED) Folding/heated/dimming door mirrors Parking system plus – front and rear sensors Light and rain Sensor Inside and outside lighting package Cruise control Advanced key MMI – with latest software and maps TV (analogue) DAB Bose CD Changer Bluetooth Mobile hands free Voice activation Detachable Towbar – 13 Pin electrics, and fully coded to car systems Currently showing 172,619 miles (still in use so will increase), 11 months MOT – service history as below: 1/1/2005 PDI 9/11/2006 20,916 - AVS1 – Lincoln Audi 18/5/2007 40,581 - AVS2 – Lincoln Audi 12/6/2008 59,557 - AVS1 – Lincoln Audi 15/10/2008 67,081 - MOT 29/4/2009 78,553 - MOT 2/5/2009 78,647 - AVS2 – Wrightington Car Centre 2/5/2009 Purchased by myself 8/5/2009 78,874 - Oil Change (long life) (KF) 25/4/2010 89,657 - Oil Change (long life) / Code Read 28/4/10 89,781 - MOT 11/12/2010 98,254 - AVS1 24/4/2011 106,708 - Oil Change (long life) / Code Read 28/4/2011 107,050 - MOT 28/12/2011 117,892 - AVS2 22/4/2012 121,659 - Oil Change (long life) / Code Read 30/4/2012 122,111 - MOT 2/2/2013 136,908 - AVS1 29/4/2013 141,055 - MOT 15/9/2013 145,098 - Oil Change (long life) / Code Read 10/5/2014 157,530 - MOT 5/4/2014 156,287 - AVS2 22/3/2015 168,976 - Oil Change (long life) / Code Read 2/5/2015 171,381 - MOT The bodywork and interior are in great condition with only minor blemishes as you would expect, I had the front end re-painted a couple of years ago to resolve the usual stone chips with only a few very minor marks on the bodywork. The "bad" bits: Intermittent keyless locking - handle microswitch sometimes plays up, unlocks and starts fine. Intermittent rear parking sensor. Both are easy fixes via the forum sponsors should they bother you, but I have had no issues living with them  Forum price - £7,995 for which I will include: S8 Carbon Interior (as pictured) AMI Digital TV Tuner Genuine roof rails If there isn’t any interest in a few days I will remove the above and post the car on ebay as I need to drive space back for my new D4, yes I bought another 4.2 TDI!  Number plate not included in the sale.

The plate was originally on my D2 S8 10 years ago, I sold it because it wasn't suited to the mileage I do. If you are willing to tow a fuel bowser or stop at every third service station then yes they are faster and oh yes they sound better, but for a combination of power vs range I stand by the 4.2 TDI being the best option which is what was written.

I need to get more use from the fuel bowser that you recommended, so i'll have to pass. But best of luck with your sale

Bidding ended at £5,100, the bidder has been in contact and so long as he doesn't pull out or mess me around then that is what it will sell for. I'm happy because it is more than the trade-in value I was offered against at D4, maybe I could have got more if I waited for the "right buyer" but maybe I'd of waited a long time!
Once the car is gone I will list up the various D3 bits on here, I guess it's not a shock on a forum of A8 owners but the parts seem to have generated more interest than the car Quote:
