For Sale 2002 Audi A8L 4.2 - £750 MEGABARG!

[barefoot]

Oh dear, this place isn't what it used to be etc.

[barrett]

Hey, we fitted a replacement bit of trim there last week! EVERYTHING'S FINE

[Fat_Pirate]

I've been doing some number crunching.  If the original purchaser of this A8 had instead spent the money on a beige Austin Allegro and Apple shares, they would now have an attractive* and desirable* British classic car, and $1.7M dollars.

[barrett]

This thing is hanging around like a bad penny. Anyone want to make an offer? I think £1200 would probably take it. It's bloody amazing, c'mon guys

[worldofceri]

That's dangerously close to an amount I could afford. There's no way I could afford to maintain it though. I've already failed at Mercedes E class ownership.

[barrett]

This was provisionally sold to a GERMAN, who has spent the last three weeks dicking around and generally wasting everyone's time so it's now back up for grabs if somebody makes a sensible offer.

 

Went out in it the other day and it really is one of the nicest cars out there, and other than the crack in the bumper is looks virtually brand new. It's also mind-mindbogglingly quick. It would break for more than it's worth as a complete car, but that would be a huge shame as it is almost certainly unique in this colour/spec. 

 

All offers considered, no swaps though soz (unless it's a mint Citroen Ami 6 Berline)

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

I am surprised this hasn't been snapped up, but I guess a huge old Audi is like an old Jag or any other big old saloon in that they're cars everyone likes seeing out and about, but very few people want to actually own. 

 

Vast amount of car for the money!

I would really love this but I'd need to employee a hostage negotiator to be able to get away from wife and little baby for long enough to fly down to brighton and drive this back up the road.

Is there maybe a delivery service available?

[barrett]

It could get to Gloucestershire quite easily, but that's as far Norff as we go on a regular basis. It could be there on Friday, in fact, if there was some cash to cover fuel costs...

[cort16]

My mate lives in Brighton and will probably be coming back to scotchland at Christmas. I'm trying to sew the seeds but previously he got so pissed off with driving from glasgow to Brighton he sold his car.

[skattrd]

Yes, but driving from Brighton to Glasgee in a V8 waftobarge wouldn't be too much of a chore.

[barrett]

It would be a ruddy pleasure! Cort, if you're serious, send me a PM. I'm sure delivery could be arranged!

About the only Audi i like, and i really like the colour.

 

Tyres alone suggest the car had been cared for, 4 matching good makes are the first thing i look for (and 4 mismatched badly worn kerb scuffed ditchfinders see me running away), nice colour, good leather, well worth looking at, GLWT.

Exactly what he said!!! (A8's make me think of the chase sequence in the movie 'Ronin' - the S8 being drifted around the streets of Paris).

Esp wrt to the matching tyres, invariably the sign the previous owner gave a crap, was not a cheapskate and was prepared to spend money which usually reflects in the condition of the rest of the car.

Shame I'm just not in the market for a beater at the moment.

[barrett]

This thing is still here! Passed its MoT with flying colours and is now fully tested until Jan '16.

 

Unfortunately there is now a crack in the windscreen in the driver's eyeline so this will be an issue come January.

 

 

Price reduced for the last time to an eye-watering £750.... No offers, no swaps. It's this or sell to the A8 breakers in Yorkshire.

 

Anyone?

 

(Delivery service available within reason)

[Volksy]

Grrrrrr, I've wanted one of these for years. Sadly I've one V8 barge already, Shame there is no swaps etc.

 

[Cavcraft]

Sporty-Shite?

[stillOrange]

Just curious what price this would fetch at breakers...

 

 

 

 

RAFFLE!

[Six-cylinder]

You got me interested until I checked the insurance!

[Partridge]

 

As it's 2001 it misses the mega c02 tax plunder

 

6 Month rate £156.75 12 Month rate £285.00

 

Only 25 quid more a year than mine!

[Station]

Surely these are rear wheel drive? Or four wheel drive?

What is the mpg like just for a laugh, it can't be any worse than my Starion.

[cort16]

I've had one. They're Quattro 4x4 only with this motor the povo ones are fwd. I got 20-25 mpg.

[Station]

That's better than my Starion lol.

[hairnet]

eddy do dis..... if it goes ping youre still win win £££ breaka

[cort16]

They're awesome that engine is fantastic .

[sporty-shite]

Sporty-Shite?

 

Over budget, unfortunately. Which is a shame, because I've driven one of these, and they are officially ACE.

[Partridge]

That's better than my Starion lol.

George Best probably drinks less than a Starion!

[HMC]

This is a bit wishful, but would anyone insure this as a 'classic' on a limited mileage policy? Back when this was registered, various brokers would wave stuff in on classic policies as long as it was over 10 years old. They seem to have got wise to this sadly.

[wuvvum]

Gnnnnnnn.
