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

[theringmeister at triad.rr.com]

ya think the bottom fell out on S8s?  You should see/check the prices on allroads.  We have a really nice (not perfect mind you) '01 black/black ar with just under 100K that I can't give away for $12900.

I really don't want to sell it, and maybe the Audi gods are telling me something....?
