Assuming that the car hasn't had a 4.8 litre engine transplanted into it since birth (not wishing to sound as sarcastic as that may read), but I think you meant to type either 4.2 or 2.8?

Hi
Sorry it is 4.2 litre and I am reluctant to post the current registration so if you want to check on the car with the MOT website please email, I have copied and pasted in the contents of the MOT website, I can assure you that it is all genuine. The current MOT runs until the 18th of April. I am new to your forum and I don't even know if this is the appropriate place to advertise the car, if not perhaps one of the members could please advise. I will give it four weeks to see if it sells and then dispose of it locally. I don't need to tell the members how expensive the parts are for these cars but to give you an example I recently spent £70 plus the cost of getting it sprayed blue on the cover to the pop up windscreen washers . Here is a print out off the MOT site.

Don't mean to offend you, but your reluctance to give out the current registration is at least one of the reasons why you don't seem to be getting much interest.
There is also the fact that despite owning the car for 12 years (your words), you list it as a 4.8, which doesn't even exist. I could understand it if you meant 4.2 and put down 4.3 or 4.1 as a simple slip of the finger. You are also advertising on a site dedicated to A8/S8s, as opposed to the likes of eBay, Gumtree or even Facebook, so the chances of you getting tyre kickers or someone who just wants a run in an A8 is zero. It is also your first post, so you just joined the forum to sell your car. To be brutally honest, if I saw this ad anywhere else, I would walk away, as there are too many warning flags. I'm not accusing you of being dishonest, but your approach to selling your car doesn't reflect that.

Hi Steamship
Thank you for your views, I am sure they are meant in good faith. I don't agree with your comment about the number plates, and private numbers are continually cloned from the web and your site is no exception. As the original listing say, if you want the number contact me, that way I know who is getting the information or phone me on 07785550131 The mistake about the engine size was genuine, I answered a question from Conan the Librarian 4.2, 3.7 or 2.8 wrongly.

Personally I do not understand this reluctance over registration numbers.
After all they are visible to everyone all the time the vehicle is on the road.

... and car for sale sites are the best place to do that as you can search for the exact model, find a plate, clone it up and away you go. It can be viewed as prudent, or overcautious but as the OP has offered up the info to anyone that asks for it directly, I say we respect his decision. Its a beautiful colour, and the A8 4.2 has always been my favourite pick of the D2's, but whilst the S8's are appreciating, the A8's hold far less interest so 2K might be a little stretch considering the faults, but it is a sub 100K D2, and they are very few and far between now....

Thank you IT Administrator for your wise words, perhaps I am a little too cautious but better being safe than sorry, I must say I did not like the implied dishonesty from one of your members, but I suppose every forum has one.
I would like the car to go to an enthusiast and a friend suggest your site, I have no real idea at it's worth so as I said in the original listing give me an offer email and mobile already supplied. Now that the plate transfer has come through the car is now blocking one of my two garages and will be disposed off locally if no one is interested. I must stress that it will be sold as a DONOR car, if it could be fixed economically I would have had it done . As a foot note I am a Audi enthusiast, have been for years now, I had a Porsche 996 for a while but I still hung onto the A8 Sport as they are a much more versatile car. I currently own a 2000 Audi TT Quattro convertible and a 2013 Audi TT BLACK EDITION TFSI Coupe both of which are great cars.
