And it's been a pretty tough market to sell cars like this for a while - and arguably getting harder.

Just google "classic car market price changes uk" for a fairly downbeat assessment from most respected commentators (Hagerty et al..).

It'll be interesting to see what this one goes for....

Yet some folks don't think it's tough

Funniest thing I've seen today.

More owners and more miles than mine - and not an FE either? Plus, I'm pretty sure those wheels have been refurbed: for that price I'd want a mint unused set of OEM 20" rims

So that makes mine worth at least £25k then . Maybe Marty's got a chance of selling his at less than half that price after all then ....

It's nice but not £24k nice Marty's expectations are a little ambitious too IMHO, having experience of recently selling mine, which the buyer considered to be one of the best he'd seen. Anyhow GLWS Marty

It's not an FE and the 20s are not diamond cut, but TBH so what? That's just a minor cosmetic issue. Important to some of us, but not everyone.
Provenance and how it's been looked after are more important to a buyer at that level. it can be put back on (refurbished?) OEM 18s if necessary, I suspect the biggest problem will be finding good centre caps!
e.g. go back to a PF and look for centre caps for the original (much better IMHO) Avus 18s!

Edit: Sorry Marty, we're diverging from your advert. Hope this helps bump the price up!

Guys, interesting responses. Im not simply trying to double my money.

I bought it for £5400 after haggling him down significantly as the car had some significant issues. Car needed new rubber all round - £700, wheels needed refurbishment - £500. Both Cats were rattling - £700, timing belt hadnt been done, £2100 I was shocked at this one all Audi OEM which is great but expensive, steering rack was loose and needed all new tie-rods - £800, body work needed tidying up with a bonnet respray and other items £1000, front struts needed replacement £600.

The car has only done 87k and is now as it should be stunning and sorted.

I passed your ad on to someone I know who is looking to get back into an S8 D2.
