Default Only available on 03 models...

Exterior is the best Audi color (IMHO) - Avus silver. I really like that combo, but my wife doesn't... So I got regular ol' Silver.

I think they did caramel interior with Black exterior for 03 also - that looks really nice as well.

Default this AW thread from May '04 has photos of the three color combos for 2003 S8

The three 2003 S8 color combos (in USA) were:
silver with burgandy interior
black with caramel interior
blue with silver/white interior

From what I've read, there were no color choices other than those, for the 2001 S8 in the USA.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/65900.phtml">click here to see prior AudiWorld thread that has photos of all three color combos on 2003 S8 (USA cars)</a></li></ul>

Default that particular car does not have its original equipment wheels; instead it has Avus wheels

I can't tell if they are 18-inch Avus wheels; they actually look like they might be 17-inch Avus wheels, but who knows.

Oddly enough, that dealership (Riverside) has a 2003 black/caramel S8, with higher mileage, at a higher price.

Thought the same: my 18" wheels fill the fenders much nicer (car "sits" lower)

Default I love the Black with Caramel ;-)...they did Ming Blue with Platinum also..only 3 colors available

for '03 S8. Couldn't do the Cranberry myself, but the silver would have been much easier to keep clean than the black...it's a b*arch

Default I saw that pricing "discrepancy" on cars.com too.

Immediately thought that this Avus one must have "issues"
