No, but I recently passed on a nice one with 84K miles for $12,900. So that's not a great deal.

Not that exact car in person. Do your homework on it though. For that price, I am sure your going to be buying a car that desperately needs a timing belt change / pump / thermostat. That'll tack on another 15 hondo. If you wait until this fall, I'm selling my 02' S8. 81k miles. Same color. I dont have the money for school so I gotta part with all of my toys. Such is life.

Thanks for the feedback. It will be a stretch to part with my 99 A8, which is running great, but it seems like an opportune time to switch to an S8.

Yes. I have driven it. This is the car I was going to buy in Tulsa. They were
 
asking around 18 for in when I saw it in October. I went down with a check but changed my mind after driving it. The front bumper had been repainted poorly as if someone had used a spray can, major orange peel. It had a shake in the front end. Might have been just a bad balance job. Wheels were a little rough Motor and trans seemed fine during my test drive. New Riken Raptor tires, cheapest performance tire you can put on I guess. Small ding in one of the doors. If it had been that price in October I probably would have taken it. Pictures can be deceiving. Not terrible, but not as mint as they claim.

And they didn't know when the t-belt had been changed. No records.

back end has obviously been hit. trunk gaps are off as well as the bumper cover.

Have BruceM find a clean one for you and don't buy someone else's problems.
