People WILL pay good money for the right car.
Wasn't UKSaabs was it?

As for the S8 in question - I can see why a sorted car could easily be worth that sort of money. My D2 FL A8 is probably worth around £2000 if that (even with the private plate), but to get it up to the standards of that S8, you'd need to spend significantly more than its current value - and it still wouldn't be an S8.

Good luck with the sale.
