There is an S8 in the house! Just not the one AoA would like to see

Turning back the clocks.

2003 S8 Avus w/black and red leather interior. I believe less than 50 in the states. 1 owner Not modified and it drives like it supposed to.

Just bought the factory 20" ten spokes. 20x9s

Love the D2 S8. In fact, that's what I was shopping for before before I ended up with my RS6. I just couldn't find one in nice enough condition.

Also, pics please!

I was not even looking and stumbled across it while looking for a 13 S8.

Let the guy list it for a bit and no takers. Then he made me a deal on the car. Good thing he didn't list it on Autotrader.

The paint is all original and pristine. Not one acid rain spot or bird dropping

the interior is like new! Leather so soft and still smells new

car tight engine tight

started this morning whisper quiet from the engine.

Pics please :)

This thread is worthless without PICS!

Ever since the movie Ronin, ive had a sweet spot for D2 S8s. Nice pick up.

I know I know! Stupid Photobucket got me good. I have to find another free hosting site.

I have the car out in my shop doing my cleaning and general inspection. One owner traded to Audi Scottsdale and they let it go to a local dealer. He had no idea what it was and listed it locally in Craigslist and his website. Had it been listed on Autotrader it would have been gone in a instant. As it turned out he was a cool guy and I let him try to retail it for a couple of weeks before he gave me a wholesale number. I would have paid double the number he gave me! Doh

I had no idea how well these things handled or performed.

wait till you see the wheels I have coming for the car. Oem 20x9 forged 9 spokes and 255/35/20s. As luck would have it a guy had a set listed on eBay in like new condition. These are getting about impossible to find as well.

Here is a link for an idea of the wheels. Look at that wheel fitment!

Thats awsome man, ive never seen a D2 S8 in Avus. Most in my area are sliver, black or pearl. Does it have the sport recaro seats as well?

Yep! Sport Recaros

I have been told it's the only way you could get Avus in 03. You had to have the oxblood red/black w/sport Recaros. Oh those seats! are friggin awesome

Avus is 03 only and could be less than 50 in total. So in the garage will sit the Avus S8 next to my Avus RS6. Oh my

Good find and lucky guy! I have been looking for an S8 but difficult to find he right one. Only 6 listed on Autotrader and the lowest mileage one is 70k .. the guy was asking $15.5k. It is a 2001.

And that 01 for 15k looks like rough car.

Ill get pics up soon.

I guess these postage stamp pics will have to work

100% original paint. Black car has the 20/9 oem wheels I have on the way.
