Audi A8 2.8 2WD Auto
Facelift model, Andorra red pearl
First registered18/04/2000, Four former keepers.
109,046 miles (actually displays 7,015 miles less due to instrument cluster change)
Considerable service history, which supports the mileage and shows the last cambelt change at 64k (08/2012) and gearbox oil and filter change at 77k (08/2014). Oil and filters changed at 100,878 displayed (107,893 actual)
MoT to 31.07.2022
Usual A8 niceties including tilt and slide sunroof, climate control (AC working), fully electric memory seats and steering column, electric windows and electric mirrors, Bose stereo with steering wheel controls, front and rear heated seats, cruise control, auto with tiptronic function. Front and rear parking sensors. Trip computer.
18" wheels from the sport model fairly recently refurbished to a good standard and with good tyres. Matching full size spare looks unused. There is a removable tow-bar present (never used it).
Generally very tidy, presentable car. Not mint with some minor battle scars and small blemishes. Interior is in very good condition and is a very nice place to be - the seats are just superbly comfortable.
I have been using it as my daily driver for the last year and it's been completely reliable. Drives very well and is exceptionally comfortable. Everything works with the exception of cruise control, which has become very temperamental recently due to a problem with the switch contacts in the stalk. Can always be persuaded to work eventually but will need attention if you wish to use it more than occasionally.
Being 2WD it's a bit lighter and more economical than the more common 4WD versions. Over the last 1000 miles I've averaged just under 33 mpg in mixed driving conditions. On long, open-road runs upper 30s mpg is certainly possible and the previous owner claimed to have seen early 40s. He must have a lighter foot than me!
In summary, a nice, usable example of an always unusual and now quite rare model. It's a nice colour too.
For sale with some regret as my A6 Avant is now revived and it's being an estate trumps the A8s undoubted charms.
Car located in South Somerset near Yeovil. Daily driven up to 31/08, now SORN
