Default How to put a price on perfection?

What it's worth depends on a number of things, not just it's "market" value, which I'd say is c.£6k with that mileage and spec, but also who wants to buy it (probably someone on here…) and how badly you want to sell it.

If you're not in a hurry, and an S8 aficionado really wants this spec (which I could understand. personally… ), then it could be worth a fair bit more than market value.

It also depends whether you want it to go to a good home: if I was selling mine - which I'm not - I'd probably want to make sure this was the case, but maybe that's just me...

Pulled from a thread on tyresmoke which many current members have previously contributed to lol

Quote:
Released March 4, but effective February 28, 2002, Audi has announced two special edition versions of the S8 model as part of the run-out activity of the A8 and S8 model ranges.
The two special editions are available in two colours, the Ebony Black version priced GBP 58,815 and the Avus Silver version priced GBP 59,815, both including delivery.

Additional items for new special editions:
- 8.5x20" highly polished 9-Spoke alloy wheels with 255/35 ZR20 tyres
- a boot mounted six-disc CD autochanger
- a BOSE audio-system
- xenon plus bi-xenon headlights
- telephone preparation with hands free function
- TV and Teletext reception
- coloured enhanced Leather pack II (seat upholstery, lower dashboard & centre console sides in Fine Nappa leather from quattro GmbH)
- coloured Controls pack (handbrake & gear lever in Fine Nappa leather)
- coloured leather sports steering wheel with tiptronic transmission controls
- dark Myrtle wood fascia, centre console & door trim

Upholstery options for new special editions:
- Avus Silver - Brilliant Red or Mauve leather upholstery & controls
- Ebony Black - Brilliant Red or Silver Grey leather upholstery & controls
There's another part to the thread which details further model iterations:

Quote:
Released April 10, but effective April 5, 2002, Audi has announced the availability of further S8 Special Editions due to the success of initial versions.

Audi has added two new colour-ways to the S8 Special Edition range:
- Misano Red with Silver Grey leather upholstery
- Aqua Blue with Morning Dew leather upholstery

The S8 special Edition in Aqua Blue, is priced GBP 58,815 and the Misano Red edition, priced at GBP 59,815, both including delivery.
02 plate ran from 1st March-31st August so quite possible for one to be on that plate, especially if it was ordered early after announcement - note that this one has the S mode too, which all FEs should have.

Everything I can see spec-wise in the pics screams 'final edition' to me

I'd say £6-7k too to the right buyer. It's a lot less in your face leather colour wise than mine or the red leather, correctly maintained by all accounts, low ownership count, low miles - what's not to love

Looks mint inside. and the mileage is low too.Has the box been serviced by a reputable ZF specialist? That is always a good selling point and its reaching that point where it would be good idea if it hasnt been done already.
