Audi S8
Yes i know its a ford forum but your a knowledgable bunch so.......
Back in the market for a half decent motor 6-8k
Always fancied a big luxury barge that can shift
Been looking into the 99 onwards s8's and it looks like they can shift (360 bhp)
Parts for consumables (brakes etc) dont look to bad either
Sounds like they are bullit proof so hopefully wouldnt have to worry about the engine
What are servicing costs likely to be ?
Also, are they decent motors ? Anyone had one ?

I borrowed one for a few weeks and they are a lot of car for the money, double glazed, satnav, all the toys and for very little money.
The purple ones are a good look.
Have you looked at the BMW 750 also??
Excellent car for the money if this is the market you are looking at.

thats just smoking !
99 plate at a local garage for £6995 fully loaded
dont say how many miles tho so waiting to hear back, it is met green tho
still eager to hear servicing costs
i can probably afford 1k ish a year on servicing and maintainance but concerned it could start costing more

It shouldnt break, and I am sure damn it it will be cheaper to maintain that a forever breaking cosworth (its not their fault bless them they getting old now) but an S8 is a good look, not a fan of the farmer green but keep us posted how you get on.

pistonheads, top one is under 15k for a 2002 plate D2 ( which seems 3k over priced! ), all the 98 -99 plates are around 5-9k

the facelift in 99 increased power from 340-360bhp
the 0-60 for the 340 is 6.6 but ive got a magazine which has the 360 at 5.6 secs
can 20 bhp make that much difference
also, the advert just says 99 how do i know if it is the 360 version ? its got sat nav which is a sign it may be

PassionFord Post Whore!!
my bad then, these things have plummeted in value over the last 2 years or so
if i didnt have to commute to work in it i'd seriously consider one
having borrowed my ex's uncles one on occasion, i say they truly do shift and they are soo easy to drive
good choice

bad if your selling,
good if your a petrol head and mpg comes last on you cars spec list
just need the RS6's to fall to that price
