RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Am I the only one?
I see that used S8s are looking comparatively cheap, what with the credit crunch and petrol prices and all. I know I'd be miffed if I'd spent £80,000 on a car to find it was worth £35,000 only 2 years later!
From looking at videos on YouTube, on thing that's really struck me about the S8 is that is has quite a loud exhaust - much louder than the one on the S6. This really surprised me. It sounds brutal.
What are the running costs like on one of these? I know the old S8 is expensive (but not ruinously so), but is the V10 one more in line with stuff like the RS6?

Well, it's been a while but I might as well revive this thread as I have one too! But only as a loner while the RS4 gets the DRC fixed again. Amazingly fast when you put your foot down but it steers like a barge! Lovely note, great car, I just wish I had some big long empty roads to fully enjoy it on.

Still around, but downsized to a 3.0 A5, as I'm now doing too many miles to fund the S8's appetite for Arab's delight.scaghead wrote:kev s, are you still about???

Hey Kev,
You got company!! I have just returned to this site after some years. I do so with a quite similar car to yours. I am just trying to get pictures and avatars sorted; check my gallery?
Cheers,
Russ
p.s. how do I get pictures in and what about the avatar, too - GIF 6KB gives me like 15 by 10 pixels?!
