Default New S8 Owner Today, Many years in waiting

Picked up this one owner

My new baby, CETE, APR and Oil Screen Relocation Kit first up!
2017 Plus model after over 6 months of searching with the options i wanted. It was at an estate locked up for over 6 months and is in amazing condition. Now come the mods! So glad to be back in the Audi family after many years.

Looks great and welcome to your new obsession.

Happy to see you opted for the S8. I see from earlier posts that you were mulling over the V6 and A8 L options before buying.

Welcome to the forums and welcome to the pinnacle of sedans, the Audi S8 (if this is your first). Exciting, isn't it? Beautiful ride, congratulations.

The 8N and 8J are not even in the same universe as any A8 platform, they both have their own place but when wanting quiet and going in a straight line stepping out of my TT and into my W12 (either one) it’s like a spa day!

Happy to hear all these stories about owners finding their ‘The One’ lately. Curious about the one option that you didn’t want to have?
