2002 AUDI S8 6-SPEED
This is an exciting follow up on the 135i. For this car, I liked the condition; And that was a full 100 miles from it. But I would prefer you to have certain specifications. Manual, red interior, M Sport (roof liner) - really makes the car feel even more special.
Where am I going with this? Well, it's close to 20 programs I'd like on the S8. Like the 135i, it's not a perfect car, but it does things really well and is (in scheme a car) very affordable as 'dreams'. Today's example. Weak gearbox. Is the score perfect? like 135i... no; But it is convincing. lets take alook .
The good? Well, it's the S8. bad? Alpaca Beige Metallic doesn't really fit the S8 in my opinion. The colors available in the US for this year are Ming Blue Pearlcoat, Light Silver Metallic, Irish Green Pearlcoat, Espresso Brown Pearlcoat, Brilliant Black Clearcoat, White Pearlcoat, Ebony Pearlcoat, Canvas Beige Metallic, and Burgundy Red Pearlcoat. in this color. One, and I'll pick any of those others first, though I'd probably prefer it a bit over Canvas Beige? Inside, more of the same ... big city, and even worse - comfortable seats.
Outside, we're looking at full-size 20-inch wheels, though at least the original 18's are included in the cuts—which makes them more palatable. The upgraded infotainment would probably be a functional feature, but somehow it feels really sloppy to me. Not sure exactly why.
I really want to like this car. And at $16,000, the manual swap looks really tempting. It's actually listed as being sold on BaT for less, so maybe there's room for negotiation. S8s in good condition are not growing at all at this point so it's a detox scenario of choice.
