Opinions on this D3 S8 please
It has everything I want but I'm no expert on the D3 yet, doesn't look like its got adaptive cruise? I know people say there is a problem with ceramic brakes but apart from that is there anything else I should be aware of?
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...01148431817783 Love the C5, but it feels very dated inside to me and I've got it out my system now, yes it's insanely fast but in every other way it cannot touch a D2 S8, I do not regret buying it one bit and will happily keep it, but I may aswel try out a D3 S8 and cross the box that says 'V10' off my car to do list.

I've decided the mileage may do me harm come resale once it goes over 100k or nears 100k, therefore, not as keen now. Unless someone agrees to buy the ceramics for £3/4k from me on SRS.

1. The ad says Bose sounds, but they look like B&O in the photos
2. Don't be in a rush, prices are tumbling, the right one will come along, I've seen prices drop by 5-6k since I started thinking about one of these about 7-8 months ago.

It's nice... As sarg says, looks like the B&O speakers in the door, but no 'powered up' dash shots to tell for sure. Not an AMI fit, probably a dension which doesn't work as well IMHO.
As to the 100k miles thing, I wouldn't worry about it, anyone who knows one of these shouldn't be worried about the mileage as long as it's fully serviced and in good nick. I don't think you'd lose much more than one with lower mileage.

Yeah Sarge I'm not in any rush, already got enough people lined up willing to take the RS6 off my hands so won't even need to advertise it.
Heard the views of an owner that has had both, he said the S8 isn't as fast as the RS6 but better in every other single way. Doesn't surprise me as its the same story with the D2 S8! What I'll do straight away Milltek Facelift rear LEDS Must haves B&O Would like Adaptive cruise I'm not fussed on colour, I know some will disagre but I think they look fantastic in silver.
