Evening all,
I'm considering selling my D2 A8 4.2. I bought the car in August 2012 from Paul (Bushido) and since then have covered about 2500 miles in it.
It's a very well kept 1999 facelift A8 4.2 in silver with a black half leather/alcantara S8 interior, S8 grille, S8 18" Avus alloy wheels and wing mirror covers. It's currently on 110,000 miles, up from 108,000 when I bought it.
I've copied the spec list from Paul's advert, as follows:
S8 18" wheels
Electric slide and tilt solar panel sunroof (powers the interior fan when parked in the sun)
Double glazing
Rear(electric) and side blinds
Independent left/right climate control with icy air-con.
Excellent Bose stereo (6 disk cartridge).
Front and rear parking sensors.
Built in Sat-Nav with 2007 disk
Parking sensors front and rear
Front AND rear electric heated seats
Cruise control
Xenon lights
Ski hatch
Auto dimming rear view mirror with ambient red interior lighting.
Map Lights
Cheap car tax
"A8" personal plate included (A8 UDH)
Sump replaced, transmission oil changed.
Here is a list that Ian posted detailing the work he carried out whilst he owned it:
Installed full S8 Black Half Leather / Half alcantara interior
Fixed Xenon levelling problem
Fitted genuine S8 Ally mirrors
Fitted genuine S8 grills
Fixed broken HVAC flap motors
Fixed Screenwash level sensor
Fixed broken PDC sensor
Fixed brake pad warning light
Fixed broken Sat Nav screen
Retrieved Sat Nav code from Audi
Replaced cup holder
Replaced 'Menu button'
Replaced missing Tool kit items
It's recent history involves having been with Ian of A8parts at the start of last year, where he carried out a list of restorative work like replacing the sat nav screen etc etc. It had the cambelt, alternator belt, thermostat and waterpump changed in April last year. The previous owner, Paul, had it for a short while and put some good tyres on it.
The only issues with it are a small scratch on the front N/S door, and a failed blower motor. The heaters still work and it still demists, it just won't blow your hair about. I'm not sure if it's the motor itself or the HVAC flap control that is doing this. It hasn't stopped me using the car and, as I was (and still am, in some respects) planning on keeping this A8, it's on my 'to do' list. Potentially, on the 'December to do', saying as I held off last month for tax and MOT. The front O/S window motor failed as I was driving it home from the MT centre, and seems to have taken up working intermittently.
It's just been MOT'd until 29/11/2013 and I've just taxed it until the end of June 2013. The MOT was passed with no advisories after I had a rear spring replaced at a cost of £165.
I'd like £2500 ONO, which is slightly less than I paid for it earlier this year, before taxing it and getting it MOT'd. I may entertain offers, or a P/X towards a small hot hatch like a Peugeot 106 Rallye.
Here are a few photos of it, the poor quality iPhone ones taken by me. More photographs can be taken on request.
