As I have now purchased a replacement A8, my old one is now for sale. The car was declared SORN 3 weeks ago, and until then has been used daily.

 

I have owned this car for 2 years, and its been trouble free bar a couple of small issues. Summary of current spec below.

 

Age: 2001 - Y Reg
Model: A8 3.7 Quattro Sport
Colour: Santorin Blue
Current Mileage :191,000
Previous keepers: 2 (1st Audi UK, then last owner for 10 years). I am the third owner.

MOT expires in May 2014.

Car is currently declared SORN and uninsured, so will need to be taxed. Test drive availability is therefore limited to a few hundred yards of farm track.

Cambelt changed in January 2012, Tyres changed shortly afterwards.

The car has a fully documented history going almost as far back as the PDI. There is every invoice for work carried out back as far as 2002, all nicely filed by year. Every MOT is available, and lots of tax discs as well.

 

The thread below, shows some of the history of the car in my ownership.

Everything currently works perfectly, the car is mechanically sound having had all the important advisories from the last MOT attended to (exhaust leak, new track rod ends). The car has completed two trips from the UK to the south of Spain and back again.

Internally the car is 95% perfect, there are a couple of marks from child seats on the back seats and that's about it.

 

Bad bits

 

Speedo mileage display has weird issue which partially obscures the trip display 000's.

The car has seen a lot of paint spraying over the years and the paint condition is average.

The front bumper has lots of stone chips, as is the leading edge of the bonnet.

The lacquer on the boot lid top has lifted in one corner.

Windscreen has a small chip in it.

Both foglight grills missing

Lower outer trim on drivers door is separating from its backplate.

 

Given the below par condition, I am looking for offers around £1250 for the car as it currently stands. This price may seem a lot, but in good condition it could fetch £2000 . The price reflects the general external condition of the car.

 

Car is located in Blandford Forum, Dorset.

 

I'll take some pictures at the weekend and add to this thread (weather permitting).

 

Some recent pictures, here although you may need to register first.

Here some freshly taken pictures, taken today.

 

As you can see the car is not that bad.

alot of car for the money GLWS

 

The car is still available.

 

Found a nice pic that shows the car off nicely, this was taken at the Briskoda 2013 national meet at Gaydon (click above) this shows that the car does still look good when its cleaned up.

 

I am open to sensible offers from the asking price.

Still available folks, new price £1100.

Still available, 

 

Attached are two more pictures, this time of just some of the paper work that will come with the car. There is loads more, but I could not fit it all on the kitchen table.

 

The car is started weekly, turned around and run up to operating temperature.

Audi is still available, I am open to reasonable offers of course. I'll also deliver by driving the car, subject to a number of conditions being met first. The car will really need to be gone soon, so if no movement soon I'll have to investigate other options including the scrap man and a local auction house.

It is such a shame that these have such little value now. I sold my 740i for a pittance :( GLWTS and hopefully I'll have a D3 like you soon

After a long wait, the car is now sold. I have small deposit from the buyer, an insurance certificate emailed in their name and I've just been out to the post office and re-taxed it (which they paid for). All being well I'll be picking up the new owner from a local train station on Sunday.

Car has now been collected, so officially declared sold.
