Anybody interested in an A8?   
As subject - I've got an offer pending for the RX7 that involves taking
another silly four-door car in p/x, in which case the A8 would be
surplus to requirements.

It's an N-plate A8 4.2 quattro, around 137k on the clock, Tax and MOT'd
until sometime next year, FSH - yes, up to now - with me having a
couple of smaller issues sorted out (weeping oil sensor and breather
line and stuff like that) and I also had the all-important gearbox oil
change carried out a few hundred miles ago. Yes, I know the box is
sealed for life but the problem with them is that taking this at face
value does shorting said life considerably.

Car has some electric toys but not as much as a lot of these have.
Which is a good thing because they tend to get wrong and then generate
insane bills to fix them.

I paid 2.5k for it, left some money at a specialist for sorting out a
couple of issues as above and would like around 2.5k back for it.

Car is in Ashford, Kent.

Smallish, four-door 4WD saloon, almost infinitely tunable and it's not a
Subaru...

I'd do you a good deal, as long as it doesn't involve twenty HP boxes

You've found a Cossie in a barn and you haven't told us about it?!?!

Nice person you are!    ;-)

Or are you sticking with the four rings? Like those on a RS4?

Heh. No, not a Cossie...

More like three diamonds (it's an early Evo).
