What was he thinking of?

deek72 · 18-01-2008, 01:02

When I bought my Superb last month the seller (roberto1954) said he was selling because the delivery for his new car had been brought forward.
I feel guilty now for taking his beloved Superb from him after seeing what he gave it up for.
Ah well, his loss is my gain I suppose!!

Here it is.

As an existing customer I get first dibs when he next decides to change!

Is that an S8?

Seen an A8 in the dealer and its effing huge in terms of size and price!!!
I'll swap my Felicia for it

deek72 · 18-01-2008, 01:12

To be honest I'm not 100% sure. Its says S8 on it but the Audi site only lists the S8 as being available with the 5.2fsi petrol engine, doesn't mention diesel being available.
Either way it's a gorgeous looking motor. i don't usually like white as I think it usually looks cheap but this looks superb.

Captain Sisko · 18-01-2008, 01:24

White looks good and on some cars like that Audi looks awesome in white.
My old Astra was white and looked good.

Wrong colour for an A8 in my mind, but to each their own

No, it's not an S8. Rather sadly IMO, that badge has been stuck on. As you rightly say, the S8 is only available with a rather nice petrol motor.

It's an A8 3.0TDI Quattro S-Line. You can see the S-Line emblems on the rear doors, below the chrome strip.

Lovely car and one heck of a step up from the Superb.........

VRSPhil · 18-01-2008, 09:55

Very nice! Looks a bit silly having S8 on one side and 3.0 TDi on the other... but all the same I'm a bit jealous

Makefish · 18-01-2008, 09:58

That is what is known as a seriously nice car

I would remove all the badges and get people guessing but maybe the owner will do this shortly......

Gizmo68 · 18-01-2008, 11:08

Not so sure he will though, why pay for extra badges then remove them all?

Nice looking car, the only thing I'm not of a lover of is the colour, after owning white & black cars previously they are the two colours i wouldn't buy again, a pity as i quite fancy an Edition 100 Superb otherwise

Bluefox · 18-01-2008, 11:52

I'd probably de-badge it as well, but hey - he spent all that cash on that car, what he does with it is upto him!

I'm only jealous anyway. Bah.

I love the A8's, not in white or pimped though
