a very real shame indeed, i was exited as its stuffed with options

Autotrader has a tax option for all charges to pick from
but i dont need it as i know a 67 plate will be £180

My white A8 crossed the wall 3 times Edinburgh,Glasgow and Aberdeen
it was kept inside a garage and did few miles, never suffered at all i know as i bought it back from all 3 people :-)

this S8 plus has been on the coast hence the corrosion

and the search continues

I think close to the coast is much more the problem than Scotland.
Constant sea salt 365days a year is much worse than Winter salt...I would have thought..
Good luck with your search..

I had a Passat GL5 hatchback BITD - 1985 car - cheapest car I’ve ever bought (£165 IIRC) but it’d lived in Bournemouth right by the sea, all its life. My god, did that car rust! Underside and door bottoms were pockmarked with the stuff, like a crusty teenager! I didn’t care - it was very cheap, huge inside, made a lovely in-line 5 warble and went pretty well (albeit handled like a boat with a wobbly tiller). Most importantly, I sold it for a profit after 2 years abuse, so basically a free car!

As you were……

so will a 68 plate be next year, the extra rfl is only for the 5 additional year's tax on the vehicle

Worrying about an extra £400 tax on a £50k car, that is 8k overpriced in my opinion

Sarg its actually £10,000 over priced

a very similar car sold last year at a main Audi dealer for £40,000

i was checking out the car first before i negotiated the price

the rust stopped me going any further

im slowly going off the Audi brand to be honest

but what do i buy ?

Funnily enough I wrote £10k to start with, but deleted it and changed to £8k, as prices are holding since last year, as you no doubt know. When I bought the M5 in January this year, I had an S8 Plus shortlisted, it was around 42-43k, don't remember the spec, but it was the back street second hand dealer and their rubbish warranties that put me off.

What to buy? Go with your heart, stop messing about over extra RFL that only lasts the first 5-6 years anyway, and just do it, we're only here once (allegedly )

PS I love the M5, cost was £49k with about 22k miles and very wel specced. I still want a 911 at some point mind
