definitely worth checking out the ones in Germany, from the few French D2's I saw online when looking for my S8, they were mostly overpriced.

Also you know my biased theory, go for a manual gearbox S8 or A8 and avoid any auto box future problems.
My theory is that the gearbox is inadequate for the power from the big petrol engines but is fine for the diesels. Certainly our lamented barge had no autobox problems at all

Thanks oldnick. The car would be UK insured. Whilst we spend a lot of time in France we are UK based so the car would have to come back to the UK and take a UK plate - and back to UK for MOT every twelve months etc. Also now we are soon not to have a tax disc what can we have in our windscreens to demonstrate insurance and roadworthy like the green sticker and CT sticker?

Anyone know anything about WAUZZZ4D42N004134

Cheers
