[s-cars] S8 For Sale ... just passing along ...

[Mike Fitton]

Mmmhmmmmmm.  My eyes are firmly fixed on an 02-03 S8 sometime in the 
next year or so.  Might also consider an 01 if the price is right.  At 
some point, the guy I bought my S6 from mentioned trading me his S8 for 
the S6 back, presumably with some extra cash on my part.  Depends on the 
wheel and the seats, but I might go for that.  Wonder if he still lurks 
here...

And uh, what's extra interesting is how S8s have been routinely slightly 
cheaper than S6s.  No brakes, 20bhp down, no rear-mount battery (kind of 
crucial to me)...I don't get it.  What, cuz it's an avant?  Okay, wagons 
are cool and all, but it'd be nice if the S6 had all the little extras.

-Cheers!
Mike
