Default Hi all :)

Hi all,
I'm new to Audi's - and the A8 Parts Forums. I'm Brian from the Isle of Wight and I'm [strike]an alcoholic![/strike] erm, not yet an Audi owner, however I soon will be!

My car history is fairly chequered, from Citroen to Ford to BMW to Lexus to Jeep etc. I currently own a massive '91 Toyota Landcruiser with a 4 inch lift kit (Which I think I'll keep as it is just so much fun!) My favourite type of car is the Luxury Super Saloon, I've owned a BMW 750 (Awesome V12 which was just right for the German Autobahns while I was based out there, and two Lexus LS400's I loved all of these cars. I have never owned an Audi and I think its about time to start! I now have my eye on several 2003/4 A8's which look nice, but what do I know!!

I am after the 4.2 V8, and it must have the flappy paddles. Never driven a flappy paddle before, and just want a go at one now. My Budget is around £5000.

I was wondering if you guys have any advice on what to look for in a pre loved A8. I know all the usual stuff like the big smoke and yoghurt - unusual tire wear - rust in the corners - knocking - dodgey mods etc. (I don't want a boy racers project car, they are usually just about to fall apart from ill treatment!) *But is there anything A8 specific that I should be looking for? (Apart from buckets of pure refined awesome of course!!)

My budget is around £4500-£5000 and I'm still looking around the interwebs...

Have fun guys,
Brian
