OMG what an a**-hat! Here is a quote from his description

"Just a bit of general information for people looking at these types of 
Audi. DO NOT mistake the 1990, 1991, 1992 Model of V8 with the 1993. The 
1993 is a redesigned vehicle and re-engineered with many differences and 
major improvements. The 1993 model has the 4.2 litre engine which is still 
the same engine used in the 2007 A8 and is in a different hemisphere from 
the older 3.6 that was in the 90-92 car. More importantly the 1990 to 1992 
models have the UFO brakes which are a NIGHTMARE and do not work great and 
are very expensive to fix. This 1993 has the conventional HUGE multi piston 
Girling Brakes (Porsche System) and this system is awsome. The climate 
control is digital and automatic (not on 90-92 it is NOT digital or 
electronic) and the 1993 has BBS rims which the older models do not. There 
are many more improvements to the 1993 car that you can research online BUT 
you will be doing yourself a huge favour if you avoid any 1990, 1991, 1992 
because it really is a very different car. "
