Yeah i went to see it and left it. No history only a few old MOT's, and a few receipts from a year or so ago. Paintwork was passable, few touch up areas i noticed. Low tread on all tyres. No lpg certificate or histor for that too. Started to spiel off about random crap when i mentioned the box issues they have so i just told him no thanks and walked.

IMO you get a hell of a lot of a car for your money.

Bear in mind an S6 or RS6 is significantly more in purchase price.
S8's are well made and not enough of a moneypit to warrant their absolute rock bottom value.

Went to see a silver one straight after.

Not a fan of silver cars but i was impressed. Ended up buying it!

140k, no lpg, full service history, recent cambelt and waterpump. Gearbox rebuilt. I was smitten when i got there - lovely black leather and its all mint no wear anywhere!

Managed an easy 25mpg on way home even with a heavy right foot at times!!


Will have to get some photos up :)

tell us the truth ...did you pay too much ?
contrary to previous comments I take the view that if disaster strikes I can always scrap mine and have had some cheap motoring , before I retired I was accustomed to more than that level of depreciation anyway , and if you look at the prices bits are fetching I would still have a residual value , especially as I have a receipt for 3K from the local audi agent for a new transmission 15 K ago !
