Yeah, I could get a great deal on some Linglong tyres mate, maybe get an average set of Avus 18" wheels on the car and sell the as new 20" wheels and Michelin tyres on ebay. They are as new.

Take off the Milltek and other bits, and ask £6k with a view to getting offers just under that.

Why are some people so bloody fickle?

I paid a premium for my s8....

Reason was it is well-specced....in pristine condition..... well maintained.....
and it was owned by 2 Club Members for 8 yrs of it's life.... (that adds value to a vehicle IMO)

I f this vehicle was in SA it would be in my Garage now....

The price is well within the bracket for a vehicle of this Quality....

The sad part is that only an enthusiast would pay the asking price ....
And us enthusiasts are few and far between.....

Good luck with the Sale and I hope an enthusiaist sees the value and
maintains the present pristine condition....

I paid £8,500 for Ian's D2, and that was cheap as it needed some work, so I more or less paid £9,500. That was in 2010. Book value on the A8 back then was £2,500. But I didn't give a toss, and I would buy this if after a D2 too.
It happens all the time, someone on the RS6 forum buys a cheap one for £10k, realises it needs thousands spending and it would have just been cheaper buying a forum owned £12-15k example from the start, they realise they can't afford it then sell it for £8k, it makes the genuine RS6 models look expensive, but the more expensive examples are the ones to go for and DO sell for a premuim.

Thumbs up

I sold my last car (a pristine 97 Saab 9000 Aero) on Pistonheads 5years ago, and couldn't believe the debate I created on a well known Saab forum because I priced at the top of the market at the time. The guy who bought it had been looking for 2years for the "right" one and bit my arm off at the asking price. He was gobsmacked at the condition of the car.

People WILL pay good money for the right car.

Good luck with the sale.

PS. I'll have that milltek and spacers off you...
