its definately a v8...
seller is very confused.. i hate how unknwoledgable many of these sellers are. they get the car from some auction or somethign and make assumptions and guesses thinking they know what thye are talking about... all i can tell u is that looking at those pics for one second they are of a v8. i would be more than careful buying a vehicle from a seller like this. who knows if the pics of the car are actually of the car for sale, or if there is even one for sale...

Ha, the manual picture says it all...
LOL the manual that the owner took a picture of says Audi V8 Quattro ...blah blah... What a tool.
Though that looks just like mine, and with cleaning up of the engine compartment, i would love to sell my V8 and buy that one. The mileage seems a bit...off though, they mention it, but you just never know.

smart seller got you to look
For some reason 200 are now selling for more than V8. My thought is that once they get an estimate on how much it will cost to change the timing belt the owners will decide to just dump the car instead of spending $1000.00 plus to change the timing belt.
This car was on Ebay last year. Most likely the trunk was damaged and they replace it with one from a 200.

Re: Confused owner...it's a V8.
You called Stephen? Ha couldn't resist.
But yes it's a V8. Years ago I seen some others ad'ing the same thing since it has the fender flares they think it was a hybrid type car of the 91 200 20V's. Thats just my quess(sp?)
