Audi A8 4.2 V8 quattro V8 — 2000

One owner in Sweden since 2004, when it arrived here. Well-maintained and well-documented. In fine condition and fully equipped for its time — even ahead of its time. The phrase ‘value for money’ is now truly fitting.

"A premium car with every extra from the turn of the millennium. In Sweden it has lived a quiet life but has given its owner many enjoyable miles. It has always been cared for, and anything needing attention has been handled immediately. Despite its age and mileage, much of its original quality and comfort remains. As always with an older vehicle, there are a few minor things to tend to, but the fact is that it feels significantly newer and less driven than it actually is. A full detailing will elevate it to an even higher level."

Cars will be published on an ongoing basis up until January 2, when bidding begins.

Description

This vehicle was registered in Germany on December 2, 1999. It was imported and registered for road use in Sweden on February 6, 2004. On February 9, the current owner—an engineer and automotive enthusiast—acquired the vehicle. At that time it had 110,000 km on the odometer and a complete service history, which it still has more than 20 years later. The odometer now shows 345,290 km.

In addition to normal servicing and care, in recent years it has received a refurbished automatic transmission (274,210 km), a new timing belt and water pump (303,840 km), and the front end has been overhauled with a new tie rod, both control arms, upper and lower wishbones, as well as front and rear suspension arms. At the same time the cooling fan and throttle body were also replaced (325,830 km). The AC has been checked and refilled (325,950 km). Front-end alignment (336,060 km). New oil and filter for the automatic transmission and a new lambda sensor (339,330 km). New windshield in autumn 2024.

It has been driven less and less in recent years; previously it was used extensively for highway driving and long trips to the owner’s residence in Central Europe, where he will soon relocate—hence the sale.

Included with the car are excellent winter tires, Michelin Alpin on steel rims with very low mileage, manuals and a completed service book and rust-protection booklet, as well as many receipts. Two keys are included. The original CD changer is also supplied.
The car passed inspection without remarks on August 12 this year and is ready to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily and the engine and drivetrain ran smoothly, but the battery began to hesitate, so a new one has been purchased and installed. During a short test drive everything appeared to function well, including steering, handling (sports chassis), automatic transmission with working kickdown, brakes, etc. Aluminum body and solid rust protection underneath. Not inspected on a lift, but everything visible looked good. No remarks during the vehicle inspection.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice and well-kept original interior. Good comfort in the front seats and rear bench. Clean door panels, trim pieces, wood details, carpets and headliner. Rubber floor mats. Steering wheel, controls, dashboard and gauges are in good and functioning condition. Equipped with the usual electric features and all the boxes ticked on the options list, including Navigator Plus, with everything working well except for the height adjustment of the driver’s headrest.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice paintwork in good condition considering its age and mileage, which appears to be original, with areas that have been addressed as normal maintenance when minor damage was discovered. Glass, trim, emblems, and lighting components are in good condition. Attractive wheels and newer Michelin Primacy 4 tires, about 1,000 km. The engine bay and luggage compartment are in fine original condition. The tool kit is complete.

  • General condition:

    A sober highway cruiser and comfort car, packed with technical solutions that, after 25 years, still function largely as intended today. After long and faithful service, it is now on its way toward classic and enthusiast status.

Facts about the model

The Audi A8 was launched in 1994 as the successor to the Audi V8. The model is Audi’s ‘flagship,’ known for its comfort, spacious and comfortable interior, and not least its advanced technology. The A8 featured permanent four-wheel drive and an aluminum body. The first-generation D2 boasted lower weight and more powerful engines than many competitors. Available versions ranged from 2.8 liters to 4.2 liters Quattro. In 1997, the S8 was introduced as a high-performance version.
For the 2000 model year, a minor update was introduced with a revised front end, including larger clear headlights, a new grille, and a lower front spoiler with newly integrated fog lights. Otherwise, the exterior changes were mostly detail updates. The interior was also revised. Engine options were a 2.8 V6 or a 4.2 L V8, the latter available with either a short or long wheelbase.
In the year 2000, 12,894 units were produced.
