Default Wanted D2 2.8
Hey all

After a long time or wanting I’ve decided to take the plunge and go for an A8!

I’m looking for a D2 facelift car and preferably a 2.8 V6.

If your selling or know of a good car please pm me with the details

Do you have a preference for Quattro/ non Quattro or Sport/ non sport?

Ideally a Sport Quattro but would consider a Sport FWD if it was the right car

Any particular reason for 2.8? I'm just curious.

From a running cost perspective (if that's your on your mind), when I jumped up to my first S8 from a 2.8 QS I didn't notice a huge increase in fuel costs, insurance or maintenance costs.

I've since had a further 2 S8's

Edit: Also, I think the sport came in Quattro only. Only the early model 2.8's and 3.7's were FWD from memory...could be wrong though. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm or otherwise.

Running costs are the main factor for the choice of 2.8, I know it won’t be a vast difference but a few extra MPG’s would be useful

Ive bought myself one now,

was very tempted by MikkiJanes's red 2.8, absolutely stunning car but I think i would feel guilty having it off him its so nice!

In the end I bought a 4.2 model, needs a bit of work, paintwork, timing belt due etc but got it at what i think is a good price factoring all this in.

Thanks all for advice and info, very useful.
