I purchased the subject S8 in September, 012 with 60,703 miles. The car has always been garaged. All service has been completed at Audi. This is an exceptional automobile that has been cosmetically and mechanically pampered by a very detail oriented owner. I am selling to purchase a newer Audi. This S8 has full exhaust system. Which allows you to fully appreciate every note from the V-10 at any RPM, hich is like your own personal symphony. (as well as factory pipes that will come with the vehicle.)To lower the vehicle I simply replaced the lowering links to be adjustable, his can be set to any height and still allows full functionality of the adaptable air ride suspension from the factory.I received a number of questions from prospective buyers. Rather than responding individually, lease find below answers/comments:
Q: Any minor issues, pcoming maintenance, ires, rakes, tc.?
A: 65,000 mile service was performed at ~60,000 miles. Car is currently at Audi having front air suspension serviced - I am not a mechanic, ut my understanding is that one, r two, f the air bladders for the front suspension may have had leaks and will be replaced. Regardless, hatever needs to be done will be properly completed by my Audi dealer under my existing warranty. With regards to tires, believe I replaced within the past 12 months. Brakes are in good condition. Since I have owned the car, ther minor issues have been addressed under warranty (i.e. power trunk struts replaced/adjusted, C adjusted/serviced (was blowing hot air out of a couple of vents). Most significant issue I have had since I owned the car is the fuel injector screens became clogged (I think I am descibing this properly) and then the screens came off causing some engine faults/issues. Audi had the car for about a week and made all necessary repairs/replacements. I will have my service advisor provide more detail on the engine work. At the end of the day, y understanding is that everything is in perfect working order.
Q: Are there any minor cosmetic issues?
A: Yes, here are some minor cosmetic imperfections: 1) Prior to me buying the car, here is deep scratch on the back passenger side quarter panel that appears to have been professionally touched up. The scratch is very difficult to see from 10' and I have tried to photograph but photos do not pick up the scratch effectively; 2) There is a slight scuff (i.e. 1" abrasion) on the back bumper - very minor; 3) There is very fine scratch across the trunk deck. The scratch is extremely thin and through the clear coat but is very difficult to see; 4) Some of the chrome trim around the windows has some oxidization. This has been resolved by vinyl wrapping the trim black Audi indicated that this is something they see often but there is no fix except for replacing the trim (this would be very costly and I did not think was worth it).; 5) Interior is generally in excellent shape with a few leather scuffs and wear spots but nothing significant; 6) A couple of the wheels have some road rash, ut I will have refinished prior to delivering to a buyer
Q: Anything else a buyer so know?
A: The car is hard wired for a Valentine 1 radar detector with remote display. If a buyer wants, can leave in the car for an additonal $300

This generation S8 is destined to become a collector's item, ith its all-aluminum body and frame and Lamborghini-sourced V10. It is the last of a dying generation of big-engined supersedans. Only about 700 of these cars were imported to the U.S. in 2007 -- this is your chance to own one of the finest examples available. Come to Jax to pick it up and drive it home. I will also assist in shipping if you wish. Either way, would prefer (but do not insist) that you see this car in person. You will fall in love.
