Default D2 S8 PF - For Sale as a whole for Repairs etc

Hi There,

I have a 1998 Audi S8 pre facelift Jaspis Green with a cream interior which has a gear box problem that i've now just lost interest in. It's been parked at my work for a few months and I'm not getting anywhere else with it and now have some other vehicles so could really do with getting rid of it

Approx 135k on it. 32valve engine that runs nicely but it has almost no power in forwards gear. Struggles to do a few miles an hour. Reverse has no problems though. (gearbox thread here http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7323 )

Paintwork is a bit patchy round the doors. Interior is good though.

Has a solar sunroof, auto blinds and old style sat nav. Wheels are good (FL iirc) and tyres have lots of tread as I'd just replaced them

Some pics and details on this thread where I bought it less than a year ago
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7186

Tax curently on it of 30/11/14 (though may cash in). MOT 30/11/14
Private Reg of S8 THL too

Any offers before looking at scrap / ebay ???

Based in Sawtry, just off the A1 near Peterborough

Lee

I know it's not the done thing to break cars on here, and I don't see this as that kind of thread anyway as you're offering it whole, but I'll pitch in with a 'maybe'.

IF you end up weighing it in I'd be potentially interested in the wheels to use for winters and the plate (wouldn't want to pay much over the £80 transfer fee though as the letters mean nothing to me but it does at least have S8 at the front!)

Sorry guys but as you'll appreciate - all talk of parts that you'd like off this even in theory 'should it be broken' must cease as a courtesy to our forum sponsors. Anyone interested in this car as a whole restore project please express an interest direct to Lee as a pm but please no more talk of parts or breaking
Thanks

Hi Guys,

It's a whole car or nothing deal. If I wanted to get into the parts business, I'd be stripping the car and selling components on ebay for a lot more than i'll let the car go for. If you want parts, buy the whole thing and strip it yourself as I don't have the time or inclination to break the car

It's actually a great car that with a "new" gearbox would be a fantastic runner. I don't have ramps otherwise i'd be looking at swapping it myself!
