[s-cars] AUDI S8 QUATTRO FS- Maine

[Mike Claire]

I've been looking at these too - I want one sooooo bad.  But it's a
left-brain/right-brain thing.  No matter how cheap they are to buy they're
going to be EXPENSIVE to run and maintain.  So my left side keeps winning
(or is it the other side - I forget).  Check out this one that just closed
last night - winning bid $19000 for a 2001.  88K miles, but looks real nice
and had the right color combo (for me).
