Default Longshot Question

Are there any A8 owners on this forum living in and around Lexington, KY? There is an S8 for sale there at a place called Paradise Motorsports. Was wondering if anyone could take a gander at it. It would save a drive/flight from Maryland. Thanks in advance for any responses. Just wanted to make sure this was legitimate.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ih=016&amp;sspagename=S TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&amp;viewitem=&amp;item=26005697848 4&amp;rd=1,1">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ih=016&amp;sspagename=S T

This is a bit off topic, but do you have an SVX? (username).

Cheers,

I'll run out and take a look if you'd like. I'm curious about the car too. I'm thinking there may be a problem with it. It has been listed on Ebay before, with a winning bid, but not sold. Let me know.

Maybe it's been taken "offroad".... I also like "collectible, sure to keep it's value"

Yes, I noticed that. When it seemed to sell quickly I just said 'Oh well,' but I was surprised to see it pop back up. They have some negative feedback, but not too much to raise concern over. And when I checked on AutoTrader and went to their Web site, they have lots of Audis for sale.

The car looks good, but I just feel like I'm missing something. If you could take a look at it, I would be much appreciated. It's an 8-hour drive from MD.

Yeah, that got an uneasy laugh from me. My 98 A8 has more ground clearance, so it wouldn't bother me as much there. But looking at an ad they had for a Dodge Durango, they said the same thing. I'm betting they say that for everything.

Have to admit, the A8 and SVX looked good together, and are both neat (though different) cars. I don't like seeing myself coming and going, so they both fit the bill for me.
