Re: Not enough!
It is hard to believe how soft these cars really are on the market. I sold my low mileage 1997 E36 M3 for more than the dealer wants to give me for the S8.
I negotiated the cash buy on the RS6 prior to talking trade, so it is apples to apples at this point.

And looky, looky, here is one pristine block for sale.
I bought one thinking I was going to add the S8 strut brace to my A8. Went with solid fuel rocket assist instead, and the block is useless unless one has the strut brace. I have never used it, have kept it in a velvet-lined safe, and am willing to include the very nice cellophane it came with in a package deal.
I can't for the life of me remember what I paid for it. Send me an email and make me an offer if you just can't bear Randy having a firmer brake pedal and less travel than you.
I bet he doesn't have the original cellophane, either, so that's a huge bonus.

Re: Sorry, car is in Virginia
Here is some addtional details.
Car is brilliant black, suede door panels, full leather sport seats, three spoke wheels.
Car has German front plate. IN-S 0008.
I will post a photo on Wednesday.
Carbon trim was sourced dirctely from Germany and installed by the dealer in my car. I still have the original US spec wood trim. Will be sold with the car.
Hope this helps.

Re: REALLLLLY ???
Without The Block, the master cylinder moves about 1/2" forward under a moderately heavy pedal effort. With an ~4.5:1 pedal ratio, that translates into > 2" of pedal travel under your foot. Additional discussion in the <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/38595.phtml">Link</a>.
And who's Justy?

Re:If I trade the car, I will remove the brake block and Carbon
Guys,
If I end up trading the car, I will remove the brake block and the complete carbon fiber trim kit and offer them up on the board.
warm regards,
Stephen
