£30k S8 Private Sale No Warranty

[DSLiverpool]

I have sold a few pricey (to me) cars in my time and I have usually had a warranty on them at sale time not expecting to sell without one, figuratively at £20k plus) one exception being my SL55 Merc but I took it to a dealer for a health check and had this to show buyers.

I have always liked S8`s but for one reason or another have never bought one however a lazy browse on the Trader threw up a top top $ Sepang Blue perfect car (2009, B&O, under 50k miles) not many about and a future classic ?

Serviced, taxed with short MOT I asked the seller "any warranty" nope no warranty he is driving it on his self funded warranty.

So a Audi warranty is £1600 after an inspection, I already think the seller wont be arsed putting on a warranty but he still expects top $

I am sitting here contemplating asking him to do this - or he could flog it to WBAC for £25k

It has oblong not round fogs - doesn't that show the facelift?

Thanks, it's not for me - I like a warranty and if it was £25k with an Audi warranty then ok but it's not.

I bought an S8 and also an enhanced warranty but to be honest I would never be a car with a warranty again as like most insurance they are useless. My steering rack failed on the M25 leading to an engine out fix at Audi. "Wear and tear" said the warranty. Everything is wear and tear so what is the point of the warranty.

For me, any future purchase I will set aside a fund for fixing and save money on the useless bit of paper that is a warranty.

Or buy from a franchised dealer with real warranty
