First generation Audi A8 4.2 Quattro Sport in Black with grey leather interior. Mechanically good condition. However, there is an oil leak coming from the front of the engine somewhere that isn't bad enough to be an MOT fail but should really be repaired. Under gentle driving only the smallest oil drop seeps out but at extended high engine revs the leak is enough to drop oil onto the exhaust and cause smoke. It's not a difficult job for a home mechanic type person with tools/equipment but, would be costly due to the hours of labour required if taken to a garage for repair. I have personally serviced/repaired the car during the many years I have owned it, replacing the cambelt etc recently, but it's no longer possible for me to maintain the car so I'm selling it at a low price to help the new owner offset costs involved with repairing the oil leak. Electrically all the toys worked until recently when cruise control stopped working. That is likely to be just a dirty connection to one of the sensors involved. The bodywork is ok and can look really nice but there are few little dinks from car parking and some areas where the paint laquer is failing. The front bumper is cracking apart. I do have a replacement bumper, in silver at the moment, that will be included with the car. There's also included an expensive proffesional leather re-colour kit from the states, to bring the interior back up to spec. The car really is a joy to drive. It's supremely comfortable and effortles. I get 40MPG on long gentle motorway journeys. It will however quickly drop to 15MPG in stop start traffic or when pressing the loud pedal hard! The V8 sound is phenominal and hard to resist sometimes. I am selling the car reluctantly and only because my circumstances have changed making it impossible for me to personally maintain it.
