Moving on / Tesla/ 2005 A8

[ulfilias]

Hi There,

After a D2 FL S8, D2 PF S8 & 2005 D3 A8 4.2 V8 sport, my time with the 8s is on it's way out. I put a deposit down on a 2017 Model S 100D with 85k at the weekend.

To be honest, i've been lusting after a Model S for a long while and I'm pretty certain it will be a phenomenal car. It's at least 3x what i've ever paid for a car before, so it damn well should be

Obviously I asked about trade in value on the A8 and it just wasn't worth it. Given 210k on the clock, 2005 PF and I said poor condition, the PC spat out £600!!!

That probably doesn't include a few scratches, dents, different colour front bumper and the unattached inner wings and under tray....Or on the flip, the upgraded parking module, alternative music/car interface and LPG system

Quite WHAT i do with it.....I'm not so sure. Short term the tax runs out December and adding it to my multicar policy is only ~£50 a month, so certainly i'll keep it as a back-up this month!

I may sorn it and park it up at work in the short term, the danger is I'll end up keeping it and i *REALLY* don't need another car (Should also get rid of the Smart and maybe RX8 i've been hoarding)

All in the 8's have done me proud, stunningly comfortable and amazingly quick for their size and frankly amazing second hand values
