Agree definitely hold out for the V8. Mine's "only" the 4.0 and I wouldn't change it for the world.

well i get 10mpg with the S8 badges on
and 40mpg with them off
im so confused

Anyway.......

that 4.2 tdi engine is without doubt amazing..
but less mpg and the £500 tax disc..
if you want spec you would buy mine..
if you want that 4.2 engine then go for it, i wish i had..
that particular A8 has not even got Bose..Boring..
the B&O was £4500 its worth a grand extra now on any secondhand A8..

This one's only just come up on Autotrader...

http://www4.autotrader.co.uk/classif...ge=2&logcode=p

Getting warmer...but not the one for me. Nice to have the B&O, but there doesn't look to be many other options. The drivers seat bolster looks very tatty. Also - despite being f/l, it doesn't have the nice shiny Start button.

Is it also over-priced? More like 9k really?

The B&O alone is amazing. The seat can be refurbished pretty well I think.

There appear to be blinds, rear climate control and rear view camera... Not exactly poverty spec I think bit if it's the shiney button you want I'd keep lookin'

Thanks Chaz, but it's not the one for me. Good luck with the sale.

At last! I've found (& bought) my first A8!

It's a 2006 (bit older than I was hoping for) 4.2 tdi LWB in Grey (Oyster / Daytona? - it's a light grey). Not my preferred colour - but it's got LOADS of toys and it was a good price, so can't complain too much.

Will post photo's when I collect the car next week.
