That does look nice.  3.7Q gets just below what a 3.0L Omega gets, so shouldn't be a lot worse.  3.7 and 4.2's are going for under £5K sometimes.  However, if you think an Omega is death by a thousand paper cuts . . . .  ::)

Yes Theo, it would no doubt empty your wallet on a regular basis. I never seriously consider buying these cars I look at, but, it doesn.t stop me looking. Massochist, I guess :o

The other problem with A8's is insurance.  Because of the Aluminum body only a few places can fix them, which drives up repair costs and therefore insurance.  They do drive like a smaller car, and the S8's sound awesome, but they have less headroom than an A6 which means I'm not happy in one . . .  >:(

I am not talking about the current body style A8 or A6.  The new A8 has plenty of headroom.

Now he's got me looking!  There are 2 clean ones for £7K near me.  However, the are a couple ur-Quattro's for £5K.  Rather have one of those and the miggy  8-)
