I have had a few offers from people that think i am going to sell it for peanuts, i have had an offer to swap it and i have had somebody ask me more questions than i can remember then just ignore me.

Firstly, I would like to publicly apologise for not getting back in contact with Darren after he answered my questions. I have already sent him an e-mail also. My reasons for not proceeding with Darren's S8 are that the mileage is too high for me, the price is at the top of my budget and I want to have some in reserve for any issues that may arise plus another S8 is on available than appealed to me more. I wish Darren all the best with the sale.

Pleased to hear that you're still in the market for an S8 and we look forward to welcoming another 'north of the border' owner when the right one turns up. And, although Darren's is a real beauty, an S8 is a very personal choice, so I hope you find the right one for you soon.

What about the Reading one - is that still on the market?

i have to say it really is a very personal choice when buying an A8 or S8 i looked at 7 before i chose the one i have now and i was offered 5k in cash there and then for mine by some one i know but you know what .... although i looked far and wide i could not find a replacement that had the same spec to match mine i may be crazy for not selling but i made a careful choice when i handed out my cash and i have not looked back since, i have only adapted what i have to suit my needs and the style i wanted so i started with a good base to work from and overall i smile every time my right foot hits that kick plate, so..... im sure your s8 will sell but if people are like me then they will look at plenty more other than just yours but someone will come along like me after looking at 5 or 6 S8's and decide YES this is the one for me ! so i think if i was you i would stick buy your guns and drop no lower than £5,250 ovno and just wait that bit longer.. rome was not built in a day :-)

i know exactly what you mean i looked at a few before i eventualy bought mine. even though we all drive 8's there is so many personal touches to each others cars that make them unique. every time a drive mine i wonder why the hell i would want to sell it. I just love the car for many reason.

I must be out of my mind selling it

well i nearly sold mine and then i thought naaaa no point for what its worth i will run mine to the ground, i intend to keep it going for at least 200k+ and i know it will get there no problems if its maintained correctly it will provide many more years of happy motoring and why not do something that people have not done i have my rainy day fund starting soon bit by bit every week and i will at some point force more air into it sc or tc or at the very top end of the scale mod an rs6 lump and mate it up now theres an idea RS8 any one ......................

Recently my car has developed a small leak from the power steering so just to make sure everything is working ok i have sent it to a top audi specialist mechanic(ben) who is going to give it some TLC and make sure everything is working ok. The steering rack is to be refurbished and the hydraulic pipes are getting replaced. Also going to fit the rear view camara that i bought over a year ago

So now ready for sale again
