  • £5000 doesn't get you much in the car world these days. But it will get you a low mileage 326 bhp V8 Twin Turbo Audi A8 Quattro tdi. An astonishing piece of automotive engineering that's fast and luxurious. If you laugh, please give the video a like!

    Great vid. Very much enjoyed it. From time to time I check out owners reviews on the A8 because I thoroughly miss mine. 4.2 TDI with absolutely every single option on it. Had mine for 7 years and it never went wrong once until one morning before Xmas 2019 the chain went and engine seized. I was told that it would be 2-3k just to pull the engine out to then maybe be told it can’t be fixed. It was a sad day indeed especially because I had a buyer lined up for the A8 as I had a new SQ7 on order that weren’t going to be read till mid January. Had the chain not slipped, no doubt it would still be going strong. In the 7 years of ownership, I put around 80-90k on it but throughout the whole time, it never missed a beat and still managed to perform better than most modern cars. Hands down one of the best and most reliable luxury sedans money can buy and seeing videos like this really puts a massive smile on my face seeing how many people still appreciate the old Audi A8. Long live the Audi V8 diesel!!

      I wonder why it slipped. Damn that sucks, my friend had a newer M3 and his got stuck in 1st gear before it hit 100,000 miles.. he took great care of it too, boy was he pissed. He did mash the piss out of the gas pedal tho, it was such a fun car. He then sold it and bought a brand new jeep SRT. I thought the Jeep was actually much funner

    When you were dressed up for the Audi HQ section, you reminded me of my brother-in-law. lol.
    Your Audi is a great looking car. My friend is an editor for a well-known car magazine in the UK, and I remember him buying a Audi A8 4.0 V8 TDi, and I was very impressed with it, it even had the fingerprint scanner. It actually appeared on TH-cam a month ago, competing against the Jag XJ8, on a channel called classics world.
    Please keep up the good work with the videos, I love your sense of humour, it cracks me up. Cheers

    Oddly enough- my dad was a commander at RAF Lakenheath. He is American Indian & Irish descent, so imagine his look with a southern accent...you know what drives me nuts when American TH-camrs call interior door panels "Door cards." Waiting for them to start calling trunks "Boots" or hoods "Bonnets" in order to sound more 'sophisticated.' Oddly enough, I own a GT350, a D2 A8L, a D4 A8L with APR goodies, an F350 Super Duty that is crew cab with a Warn bumper & 12K lbs winch (ex-cattle ranch truck) - the Audi's I inherited and have some vintage cars & an re-vamped Travco 320 RV.

      ​@@CarTroublelook wise? The D2 seems to garner much more attention. It is more unusual/rare, Ebony Pearl with a tutone brown interior, progressive-rate sport springs & Bilsteins, Konig Hypergram wheels, Magnaflow rear muffler with dual-wall stainless tips, a small trunk lip spoiler (a la 2000 M5-style) . It has a very timeless style.
      The D4 is dark grey, more subtle. It's a bit quicker, more modern, loaded luxury. Long road trips? D4. Around the local area, trips of 5 hours or less? D2
