UK A8's

[Graham Thackrah]

Sorry if this has been covered over the weekend,

in the UK a quick trawl through autotrader.co.uk gets A8's from 8999 gbp (14k
usd), the price of an MB urq in good nick. I see a 4.2 q sport for 13k gbp (20k
usd) unbelieveable considering their price new IMO

AUDI A8 4.2 QUATTRO SPORT SALOON AUTO N blue/green metallic, beige leather
interior, FSH, PAS, central locking, electric windows, mirrors & sunroof, air
con, power seats, cruise control, walnut trim, twin airbags, ABS, alloys,
tiptronic gearbox £12995 (T)

N=1996 ish?

and that's by no means the only one, do you think Audi is annoyed?

I have to say, if I had that kind of money I would certainly take one out for a
test drive, it is a lot of car for the money, not that it is a reasonable
consideration for much DIY I'd expect but you have to at least think about it.

I think in the latest EVO magazine there's a mention of a new mostly ally
sports car using the 4.2 Audi V8, I was reading it on the train as I was
delayed out of Paddington last night, remind me to take the quattro next time I
don't give a **** how much the fuel costs, not even out of the station the
train develops terminal brake problems and could not even move safely under
it's own steam (sic).
