What do you think? I think he needs some cash to pay off a loan shark!

Default Looks like a Tip gate in the interior pic. As good a theory as any.

Looks bogus to me.

The seats look like the same ones used in US pre-2000 models.

Paul, that sure looks like an auto. gate to me. It might be noble to tip off e-bay if we are sure.

Default The listing is wrong in several places ...

- The model shown is NOT a 2002
- There was NO 4.0L TDI on the old body style A8 (2002)
- The 4.0 TDI has only been available for a short time on the 2004 model
- There is no manual transmission available for the A8 4.0 TDI
- Even if the car was a 2002 it would still have a warranty if bought in the US
- The interior shown in the picture is grey, not beige

Look bogus

Weird..that's an '04 dashboard and steering wheel, and what looks like MMI in the center console. But those are definitely pre 2000 seats. If it actually exists, that's a strange car.
