A8 D2 4.2L Quattro 1997

[sssam]

It's with a heavy heart I do this but it seems like the best option...

132k miles, full service history with log book and most receipts. Cambelt changed at 81k miles. Runs very well but has a bit of an issue with auto gearbox whirring in second gear and inconsistent changes - as per this (rather extensive) thread. It seems to behave itself pretty well in tiptronic mode though.

Body and interior in very condition for age. Some marks but no dents. Engine has always been completely fine and I'm sure has loads of life left in it.

Air con and all electrics work as they should, it is in fantastic condition for an 18 year old car. Drives beautifully (gear problem notwithstanding). MOT to the end of the year. I will be very sad to see it go but I can't really justify sinking more money in to it and it's really just not that practical for my current needs. If I wasn't carting bikes around on a regular basis I'd be very tempted to do a proper repair/replacement on the gearbox - the car really doesn't deserve to be on the scrapheap just yet!

Price, I really don't know - make me an offer?
