Comments from the seller

This A8 has recently developed an issue with the T-Bar selector for the automatic transmission. It has only been sitting in storage & not used. It will not go into the "Park" position correctly & therefore won't start in the faulty "Park" position but will start in the "Neutral " position. When started it has no "Drive" or "Reverse" movement. Engine starts & runs perfectly. Think its a selector, selector cable or inhibitor switch fault or maybe the transmission module ? Sadly due to health its time to sell. Audi A8 V8 3.7lt Auto Sedan in rare Metallic Pearl Ruby Red. Very low km's for age and I am only the 2nd owner. Car has been professionally paint treated with ceramic coating. Drives & sounds awesome but still has good fuel economy with the smaller 3.7lt V8. Also features electric sunroof, adjustable hydraulic rear suspension/ride height & upgraded headlights & led lighting front & rear. Reluctant sale & hope it goes to a new good home. PERFECT FIRST CAR! This car is an awesome first vehicle. SAFETY FEATURES: It has 6 airbags fitted for your protection. This car has driver airbag. This car has passenger airbag. Equipped with ABS brakes. MORE FEATURES: This car has climate control air conditioning. This car has leather gear knob. This car has cruise control, leather steering wheel, front fog lamps, alloy wheels, 10 speakers, central locking, front & rear power windows and power door mirrors.
