Default Opinions please !

Just curious what the general consensus is on this older A8, and how do you think its priced ? Another silly question I suppose is, can you change the front bumper easily on these to go to the newer style large grill ?

Cheers !

I'd say a good few k overpriced. And the upgrade is a bit of a fiddle.

Apart from the Comfort seats and the wheels, the spec list seems to be standard kit. Considering what I just paid for an 04 petrol, to me its way overpriced.

For that kind of money, I'd be looking at facelift versions.

I would say double what it's worth.

I would say £6000 tops, not a bad car but for the money I would want a facelift and something a little more special than that.

Many thanks for all the replies guys. I thought it was over priced but just needed clarification. I thought it was a good looking car but agree with all opinions. Emailed the dealer but he didn't have the decency to reply. So that's that. Ha ! Thanks again guys !
