Default 2001 S8 6MT in Denver - SOLD

Sold.

I am a long time forum member, purchased this car from another member several years ago and now time to let her go here...

Silver w black alcantara interior + sport seats;
No accidents, no smoking, no abuse, no issues;
Always garaged, always adult enthusiast owned, original books and records;
Meticulous documented maintenance, all keys and books from new
SUPER clean inside and out, only a few very minor cosmetic blemishes;
Drives tight and solid, dry underneath, engine runs very strong, recent 6 Speed manual transmission conversion!
Two sets of wheels/tires. Winter = Stock 18" Avus with Blizzaks; Summer = 18" BBS CH with Conti DWS performance.

The 6MT conversion was done last year when the original transmission quit on me and was HUGE investment but totally worth it. 100% professional and thorough job by one of the best Audi tech's in the land with genuine factory parts. It is PRO, and has totally changed the personality and performance of the car. The D2 S8 is such a timeless and well respected sport sedan, and with three pedals its absolutely awesome. It's the ultimate AWD German muscle car that goes like crazy in the snow, and drives like sports car disguised as an executive luxury sedan. I've used this car as a daily driver on my commute all over Colorado to mountain properties. It is by far the best car I've ever owned and still fabulous. I will truly miss her but need a SUV/tow vehicle for work.

If you're reading this you know the mileage is genuinely LOW for this build, especially now that is has a manual tranny. I've maintained the car with an open check for all these years, so it's set up for the next enthusiast owner for at least another ~50k miles and several years of reliable Teutonic driving pleasure. I would honestly sell it to a family member with no qualms.

~145K Miles. Clean and clear title. Serious buyers only please. $12,000 with stock wheels. $13,000 with both sets (all new rubber on both!)
Text or call only please, no email, three oh three, 332 dash four nine seven two. -Paul

Yes, it is an Audi transmission sourced from a S4. Pedals are from an RS4.

911Crazy - Got your voice mail and replied, thanks. The drivers side door handle inside has some knicks from my wedding ring rubbing against it. Also, below the skirt on the driver side rear door is a parking lot ding, pretty small but visible right after a car wash. I have been getting ready to list it on ebay so have taken more pics, you can see the blemishes I point out specifically in Photo #51 and Photo #60 if you browse through these pics: Picasa Web Albums - Paul Barrow - 2001 Audi S8 ... .
