Hmmm...it depends. I might be wrong, but I smell a blatant plug here. Not sure if you do as well.

Who is Stefan?

Knew it would sell, and I thought it would be to one of 4star's existing clientele too, they don't give a monkeys if you can buy a minter of a D3 for the same money. Mostly car collectors, I hope 4Star start selling more D2 models, they should be collectors items not £500 ragged and poorly serviced eBay specials. It would be great to see D2s fetching more money then the D3, ala Porsche 993 vs 996.

It's worth noting, a full VAG service history doesn't always guarantee a good buy. In the same way, a car looked after by an enthusiast, with a folder full of invoices can be a better proposition.

Most of my cars have been bought off eBay. The key word here is Due Diligence. I'm from an engineering background, and know exactly what to look for in a used car. If you know what to look at, and what to ignore, you'll always get a good car.

And as for the Aqua Blue S8 in question here, it may well have sold, but no one knows what it went for. Obviously not £11,995. Still, the post by the "buyer" makes for good reading, and won't do 4 Star any harm.

...And once more, this car is offered for sale. Same price, same format, same eBay.

Now can anyone now convince me this whole "sold" to "Stefan" is valid? Of course, it'll probably be the same "re-advertised due to time waster."

That car was never sold, and the posting on another forum by "Stefan" is just so much BS.

If you bother to read the ad it says: "SOLD: Audis Flagship S8 run out model with low miles and in great condition. SIMILAR REQUIRED"

Hi to all

I am the lucky new owner of the 4 Star car; I took delivery last week after the car had been fully serviced (including cambelt change).

I've only had a chance to drive the car briefly so far; very pleased with it - a lovely combination of long-legged cruising ability with a surprising turn of speed and a great engine.

Some have asked why not a D3 - the answer is simple, I like the elegant design of the D2 and prefer the V8 engine (although I know how good the V10 is as well).

I am now fitting some uprated suspension (KW Variant 2) and it already has a mellifluous sounding Miltek fitted. It will also be treated to a full detail and I'll post some pics when done.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Stefan

There is a huge resource of information here for your '8 all split up into sections and in most cases with a "common problems and upgrades" sticky at the top of each section.

There is also a meetings schedule/sticky for upcoming meetings and you'd be very welcome to come along to any that you can make

Welcome from me too, Stefan. Can't wait to see the pics
