Default Amazing S8....Crazy Price:(

Found this excellent example of my perfect 1-owner S8 with all the options you want but this dealer thinks he can get that price! Why oh Why!!!

Looks like a trade in, either the dealer overpaid for the trade in or that price is heavily inflated. How much you think it will actually go for?

Well the mileage is extremely low, and you pay similar sums in europe for facelift W12's with same mileage. Note that the mileage is just 22tmls!!!

On Mobile.de you can find a similar W12 2009 for same price in euros with same mileage, so the price is quite spot on. The 2008/9 (facelift) S8 D3 with least mileage was 65tkm, and it was up for 33000e, so that price is quite spot on with these.

But then the question is, do you take a 2008 facelift W12 for 22900euros with 79tkm on the clock instead? I wouldn't hezitate a second to pay half price for that.

Paid 14100euros for my 2008 facelift W12 with 188tkm on the clock last summer, the car isn't new like, has had an accident, but it works flawlessly and only a pro can notice the accident (repaired fairly well).

So the money you pay is just up to you and your wallet with these.

It's got the B&O, and the carbon fiber trim with the extended leather. No on the distronic cruise control or the upgraded seats. Even with that mileage, 47k is way too much. There are other cars just as nice for 10k less.

Upgraded seats? I thought those only came with one kind...

Here's another pricy example. It's an '09 top spec with low mileage to be fair

They are inflating the price because they don't want to sell it! The lot owner is likely driving it currently....

Just like idiots who overprice their homes, idiots who overprice their cars will be longtime owners...or dealers that will look at that car for a long time

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't see the buttons for ventilation or massaging. Pretty sure that was an option, even on the hardcore S8.

I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think they were available on the D3 S8
