I travel countrywide for the right car as you restrict yourself greatly if you only 'shop local'.

It's part of the fun!

I've offered to do what I do, which is book a cheap return flight and if the cars not as advertised then I pay for the return part of the flight.

A lot of calls from down south but little from up here!

Yes the bridge is undoubtedly an issue at the moment.

However the money's going towards a D4 S8 and they are still on the steep part of the depreciation curve so I'm not in a desperate need to sell cheaply.

Annoying thing is I can look at the vast majority of similar adverts and go either 'it doesn't have this' or it's going to 'need this done soon' or 'funny they've not mentioned....' etc etc.

There's no such thing as a cheap S8, they are expensive cars to maintain properly and if it's going cheaply you can be pretty sure that a shedload of stuff has been skipped or is due.

This one is spot on.

I've shared your advert with a mate who isn't a forum member, he loves the car and "could see himself in it" to quote his words. He's currently driving an S5 (low mile 59 plate) and said "I wonder if he'd consider part ex?" but I told him you're going up to a D4 S8 next so would be wanting a cash sale.

I agree with everything you say above, yours looks so clean and sorted that if I didn't already have one I'd be after it myself

Thanks for that but yes a S5 wouldn't fit the bill
