Another day has passed, and the agonising continues!



Taking in everyone's comments, I have offered by friend first dibbs on the Milltek and the wheel/tyres.

I think it sensible to get the car back to standard and then offer it for sale at "the going rate" plus a wee bit for mileage/condition.

I just can't fight it any more

Agonising? I just don't understand exchanging such a car for sport coupe, which has no that discreet, reserved bourgeoisie elegance of A8.

Your car seems to be in great condition. It's a pity I have no space to keep another car.

Advice: sell SL55 when it gets warmer. Sport cars are childish. A8 owner don't need car like this

... and hard top will leak ...

I like loud, not discreet, and the SL 55 is actually extremely elegant. There's some serious curves going on there!

I can confirm, that after a serious jet washing today, the hard top does not leak in any way, shape or form

Sorry mate, you'd be third as another forum member sent me a PM about it.

All said and done, mate suggests I stick the car on for more than market value with the exhaust on. Should a prospective buyer want to haggle, then I will let my mate have the exhaust.

If that changes, will keep you all informed. Milltek only done 3k miles topps.

OK, I have decided to sell the S8. Need to give her a clean and get some nice photos done to advertise her on here and on Pistonheads.

Weather permitting - about a week or so.

I haven't used the car in over a month now, and should I keep her, I can't see me putting more than 2k miles on her in the next 12 months - crazy really to keep it and hardly use it!

Will advertise with the "extras" and see what happens.

Watch this space!
