^i did see that, nice combo
wife wants the audi to be white, to have nice contrast with the black lexus.
I know many dont like the stretch, poke and camber look, but she rides pretty well. Have 35k miles on my tires and counting even with -4 degrees camber rear, -3 front.
the lexus.
have since switched the stock tan belts to OEM black belts and ditched the covers.

I still keep coming back to this one... It hs basicaly what we are looking for. B&O CF, ext leather, adaptive cruise, awesome nougat interior, white exterior, nice wheels.. Only thing is mileage, but the price seems to reflect that, and has been up for a while. Private seller (which I ALWAYS prefer over dealer-no sales tax!
Could someone run a carfax on that vin for me please?

That red interior reminds of my Grandpa's Olds 98 he had when I was a kid. Red, red everywhere! Those seats were so cushy. The closest thing to a couch on wheels I ever drove was my own Olds 98.

guy dropped the price a grand on this s8. really has all the perfect options for us.
Yeah mileage is high...there was anotehr fellow that was looking at one with 137k miles and it was asking 15k for it i think.
guy says it needs rear brakes and an o2 sensor. (without VCDS scan, I am always leary of people that say needs JUST an o2 sensor). Also could it be the rear parking motors? I will call him up and chat about it. Get a feel for the guy.

it is very nice looking. The rear tinted taillights need to be buffed (hate when people spray them and then dont polish, gives it that nasty dull look)
the window tint is nice, and that color interior is to die for (only better option would be red!)
So assuming the worst case-parking brake motors, Im looking at about 800 in parts alone right? (400 a side, IIRC?)
O2 sensor-best case its just a sensor, $150. Worst case, vacuum leak somewhere deep in the engine, throwing a lean code-most people chalk it up to an o2 sensor. If I were to purchase this car, Id like to do the sensor (if thats what it is) on the spot, so it's not guzzling fuel on the trip back.
gives those things, the miles on the car, worth 20k?
