Anything from £6k upwards for a really good one, depending on how far below 100k miles, history, spec and condition

No is the short answer.

The final editions (or special editions) were a specific combination of paint and leather colours, and black on black wasn't one of them.

A lot of D2 S8s are advertised incorrectly as Final Editions as many people think they're just late 2002 cars.

I'll post the link the the definitive thread on this in a moment, although even this has some minor inaccuracies: http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/topic...final-edition/

Anything at the bottom end is either a Billy Bargain, or more likely the history doesn't stack up/is missing/requires major expense to get it as it should be.

The black on black one looked nice and is probably priced about right for 80k miles, but there was nothing in the advert to suggest the gearbox had been serviced.....

Had enquiry on that one and seller said gearbox been serviced at 56k miles with fluid and filter change, cambelt done at 76k miles costing £1806 and all receipt with fsh records to prove. If thats the case someone got good one but with premium price i suppose. ..

The problem is if you buy one at £4k that's a bit rough round the edges you could easily spend £3k getting it sorted.

The recommissioning service on mine, before I bought it, came to £2.5k (service, cambelt, front discs and pads, various little jobs), plus an exhaust £1k, ICE update £3k+, set of 4 tyres and a wheel refurb.....

This certainly isn't the cheapest but if the history/condition stack up.....

Base spec for an S8 by the looks of it, but since most things can be retrofitted
