It might be worth taking a few minutes to remove and reposition your S8 badge on the boot. Paranoid people will assume the car has been hoisted up 100m by a crane and then dropped on its rear end.

The S8 badge on the boot lid is in the wrong place, suggesting the bootlid has been replaced or repainted at some point. Nothing wrong with that--most 8 year old cars have had some paintwork and if they haven't at that mileage they'll be covered in chips and scratches--but whoever painted the car must have fixed the badge on blindfold and in the dark.
It should be about here: http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/wp-...0/02/2S8b2.png |

I'm not in the market for an S8, but if I were I wouldn't be in the slightest bit bothered about the badge. I'd buy your car and just take the badge off.
The point is that some S8 buyers are in the advanced stages of buyer paranoia. For example, just read the thread on here where some people are much troubled over the fact that Fontain did not polish the tailpipes on the S8 they have up for sale. I'm giving a marketing tip, not expressing my own paranoia. |

Flippin 'eck why do people keep posting pictures of my car? She looks gorgeous.
Tonipkid & Sutherland. I can see where both of you are coming from, it could have been a simple case of it having been nicked and the previous owner didn't have another S8 to measure it up against when he put the new one on. Nick, your free to go and measure it up against my S8 as I know your not far from it if you do want to put it correct
