The one that 4StarClassics has for sale is a good deal by comparison, and that's saying something.
The advert on the 503 website has contradictory information, the mileage on the clock is 214,044 km, which equates to 133k miles, not 151k (unusual to bump the mileage up), the RARE options (that I can find) are aftermarket air suspension, aftermarket head unit and after market speakers, so not something anyone interested in a pure S8 would want or even consider parting big money for.
Other oddities is why would you go to the expense to strip the car back to bare metal, but not bother spending any money on refurbishing the interior. There is also signs of scratches on the paintwork, so why wasn't it protected, and what is going on with the paintwork around the ASF logo at the base of the B-pillar?
Perhaps the biggest WTF moment is why have "There was absolutely no damage or collision" in the advert? If it had 100k less miles (with condition to match throughout) and was an unmolested example with original parts, would it still be worth $29k?
