Audi S8

[crazy about cars]

Always wanted a V10 S8 and noticed this one up for sale : http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2015...

Spec looks lovely but I have a few concerns:

• Mileage : At that mileage am I looking at some immediate big bills?
• Ceramic brakes : How long does this last? What are the cost of replacing with conventional steel brakes?

I'm prepared for the usual running costs like fuel, tyres, tax and insurance but just wondering if there's anything else I should look out for with a car this age/mileage?

Thanks for the heads up guys I thought the wheels were originals. The low price did rouse my suspicions.

Spoke to a mate and he recommended an S6 instead. Smaller, same engine just less gadgets.

Please, please research the cost of replacement pads and discs!

And no, you can't easily fit steel parts.

Informative thanks. I always thought you could easily swap for steel discs.
