It is a sad day for me, as I have to part with my beloved S8.
The economics of my situation following a very drawn out and messy divorce dictates that I can no longer afford to keep her (on £140 a week disability) and doing 10 or so airport runs for my fiancée to Luton from here in very West Wales. She's not particularly highly specified, but is a very nice drive, unfortunately the lacquer on the front n/s wing and bumper, rear o/s wing is a little tatty but its quite sortable. Neil and Guy have seen the car, the 'oil cooler' leak has been sorted and she neither drops or uses oil. The output shaft oil seals have also been done, so no leaks, nasty oily smells or smoke from there either... The climate control is working perfectly, and was regassed last summer, as it was a little weak (though still working), four years after the previous re-gas. Cruise control works fine too, as does virtually everything .... She is in silver (L7YM) with black interior, and covered 112k miles, has MOT until July '15 Tax until end of January '15. Full history up until 10k miles ago (I had the last service done at Sinclair Audi Neyland, who have done most of the work on her) I have retrofitted a BOSE sound system and it all works well. I fitted a brand new n/s folding ally mirror to her last year, both sides work fine, and I'll include the old unit and a spare boot divider as well as the original loudspeakers (Nokia) There is an auto dimming mirror, which I didn't get around to retrofitting, that will go with the car too. She has to go this week, as I'll be cashing in the tax, and I have her on temporary insurance whilst I have 2 cars. WBAC made a provisional offer of £906 all issues declared... So gentlemen, I'll be looking for offers in that region if anyone here is interested. Please PM me if you wish to know more, but please be quick, she has to go this week as it is making me quite sad seeing her in the driveway... I'd rather she went to an enthusiast who can give her the attention that I no longer am able to... Thanks all ..... its been a blast ![]() (I will get another without doubt if circumstances change)

Hi There,
Shame you are not closer. I could be very tempted as I want another S8. Had a '98 PF at the begining of the year before the gearbox died. Sounds like she is in good working order if a little tatty on the paintwork Good luck with the sale as that seems a good deal Lee |

Thanks Lee....
To be honest, I'd probably accept £750 - 800 at the moment, as those pirates have dropped their valuation after 2 weeks! regards Richard...
