My D3 A8 Sport is for sale
Despite the fact that I genuinely enjoy this car (probably more so than any daily that I've ever owned), it just doesn't fit with the fact that I'm likely to be moving into the SF bay area soon, and this just isn't going to be a car that I want in the city.
It's posted in the classifieds here.
I've thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this forum, and I'll certainly pop in here and there even after I part with my D3.

No I know.... it's more the delineating line between the fact that I genuinely do enjoy the A8, but at the same time, I def don't need it around....

So, this is a REALLY odd one. Guy who bought my A8 was, for lack of a better word, an "interesting character" (young, LOTS of tats, and I'll spare the rest). He paid full asking price for the car (in cash, mind you), and was absolutely thrilled with his purchase. Great.
That was last Friday, and it turns out, he shoots me some texts last night, that the "car overheated" and that he found the "secondary air pump wasn't connected" along with some pics of the front bumper pulled off the thing in his driveway. I've put almost 60k on that car, which included 30k since timing belt/ water pump/ tensioners/ bla bla service with nothing but a perfect dispatch record. In addition to my scanning the car regularly for codes, I specifically scanned it just before selling it, to ensure the new buyer wouldn't have anything to deal with and it was free of any codes.
I explained to this kid that first off, the secondary air system has nothing to do with the cooling system, and that if a hose was really disconnected, that it would throw a code immediately. I offered to help me sort out whatever he had done to the thing, since he apparently doesn't have a VCDS cable.
All in all, I'm utterly in shock and absolutely perplexed as to what the hell he did to my former car. At the end of the day, it's his car now and not my problem, but at the same time, I'm actually a bit upset that it apparently took this kid a week to destroy what was a very fine example of a D3.
