Buying Audi S8 D3
Discussion
I am new to this forum but reasonably well acquainted with fast road and race cars.
I have decided I would like to find an S8 V10 and the questions I have are:
x What are the important things to look out for?
x What are the extras that would be considered advisable to have?
x Is a post face lift car (2009) with MMI 3G a much better bet than earlier cars (2006-08) with similar mileage and condition?
X Finally and most important for me: can anybody recommend a expert
who would be able inspect any car I choose to go for?
Thanks

Hi Richardracer
Many thanks for those tips. I have joined (or started the process of joining!) A8Parts.
It will be interesting to see what comes from those guys. Presently I am inclined to find a late (2009 maybe) car without ceramic brakes and with Bose if possible. May be dreaming!
Out of interest: does the racer tag to your name mean you race a bit?

Hi Purso
Yes I did. Very recently. It is a 2007 in Metallic Grey with Ceramics and B&O. Really good condition but there is a bit a brake judder when braking gently from about 80 (or more) MPH. Hopefully will be able to sort that. Have had the rotors, callipers and pads checked at and they all seem fine.
Will post some pictures and update my profile when i have a moment.
Happy Christmas!
