Advert not live until 19:14 tonight
Audi A8 4.2 quattro Sport finished in silver with indigo leather interior. Specification includes:
I have owned the car since October 2006 and covered 35,000 miles in this time, averaging around 23mpg, which is pretty good for this type of car. Have lots of history, old receipts and MOT certificates. The bodywork and interior are all in exceptional condition, with the odd mark allowing for the age of the car, but it is way better than average condition. The engine has been regularly service and is running perfectly. The engine oil & filter were last changed less than 200 miles ago. However, the car has now developed a faulty gearbox, probably due to the wet clutches slipping and this WILL require repair or replacement. Do not bid on this car unless you are buying with a view to repairing or replacing the gearbox, or taking parts from it for your own A8. Recent repairs include:
This would make an ideal project car for somebody willing to have the gearbox replaced or reconditioned, or as a source car for spares for your own existing A8. There is a reserve set, if it doesn't make the reserve then I will get a new gearbox myself and keep the car for a few more years as it is in exceptional condition and is easily the best car I've ever owned, beautiful car to drive and is relatively cheap to run and tax. All inspections welcome, but although the car can be driven in 'limp mode', naturally the faulty gearbox means that a test drive is unlikely. Please also remember that if you are the winning bidder, you will need to think about transporting the car due to the faulty gearbox - it could possibly be driven a short distance in limp mode, but I would not recommend it. I will not deliver the car, it is pick-up/collection only. All non-paying winners will be pursued. No returns accepted, the car is sold as seen for spares or repair with no warranties or guarantees given nor implied. Any more questions, please message me Last edited by sarg; 24th May 2025 at 12:48 AM.

"Meine kleine Schwartze Schwein" for it's ability to barge through london traffic like a pig diving for the trough. DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA ETC.
Current one is "schnuckle putsch". term of endearment I've heard used in German families. Feeling your pain sarge

Sale has been agreed, waiting for holding deposit before it comes off ebay.
Have really struggled with this decision, at one point today I was pulling out and having a new gearbox fitted instead.
