Thanks Delboi! And thanks for the tip about the A8 parts forum. Not been there before but looks excellent, will certainly be reading up lots there cheers

Thanks, still pinching myself - cant believe i managed to get such a beast for the budget i had. The car had been reduced in price from just under 10k twice down to just under 9k before i saw it. Can only assume the few minor dings/scuffs and cigarette burn in drivers seat put people off it? Or...

As you can probably tell I'm too excited and buzzin to sleep, some better pics:

Yeah went for 3.0 TDi in the end. Options (over the massive amount of standard options!): Sports trim/suspension? (please clue me in on the diff apart from cosmetic between Sport and SE), bose, xenon plus, front+rear climate and heated seats, alacantra package, int/ext light package, folding...

Happy to announce, badboybaby Audi number 3 was born 18/2/14 approx 7.30pm!! Two and a half hour drive from manc to bristol was pure bliss. Love it, feel i made the right choice. ’S’ mode wow thats gonna cost me =] Late night pic:

I'm banking on the cars overall strength and reliability to last me 10 years if I end up having to keep it. I'm gambling that I will have less going wrong in general over the next 5 years, compared to an A3/4/6. And mileage wise, i dont doubt this car can go on over 400,000 miles and still be a...

Theres a button in the boot door that u press when opened and it shuts. Also doors can close when not fully closed shut, they auto shut them slowly (not seen this option in person yet).

Palmer I'm going for a 3.0 TDi but I see the next few cars in my life just being a string of A8s upto S8/W12 (even if they are 10 year olds). 4.2 V8 - cant wait already even before owning my 3.0! I've gone and actually visited dealers 3 times now all over UK - 3rd time lucky hopefully! 2006...

Thanks for the info guys, and for the tip about the other forum. Thought it was a bit quiet in this a8 section compared to the a3 one which I normally check out. Still not put off with getting a used A8, have the luxury of a bit of time in looking for the right one. Now it's just the wait till...

That is exactly what I have resolved to get, a 3.0 TDI Quattro. If I see an amazing bargain petrol or 4.0/4.2 TDI then i will go for it, but mainly focusing on the 3.0tdi. Another reason im going for an A8 over lower models is parking sensors front and rear as standard I believe. Just...

I drive alot for work approx 30-40k per year and have been doing so mostly in my 1998 A3 1.8T Sport which is now at 269,000 miles. I have now decided I need to change this car as I dont want to spend the needed £700+ on repairs/maintenance, since it has to be on its last legs now anyway. After...

Hi h5djr, sorry to bother you but I'm looking for a Audi A3 sportback brochure from 2007 and saw a post mentioning you had a PDF. Any chance you could post me a copy? My email is pbal@oozi.com. Many thanks -Parm
