They make an A8 Hybrid now with a 2.0 TFSI engine.

147g/km - 390 tax on an A8 is impressive.

Impressive? A 2l 4-pot engine on what is supposed to be a flagship executive car? Sic transit gloria mundi :mad:

Certainly from a reliability prospect anyhow. There's been a lot of the V10 Tdi's that have shown up on ebay with engine failure.

It's an extremely heavy car, so it really does need torque. The 3.2 petrol must be a depressing drive.

I did, though the V10 is an experience all to itself, second time round Id try the petrol V8. Saying that, a EUR6500 semi-economical V6 TDI Phaeton as an everyday car.. Id be all over that if I live in Ireland still. You will not find one for that price anywhere or something of its caliber or "family genes".

Nothing in this thread touches it nor likely ever will in value per Euro. Its the best kind of freak.

Great value at 28k it has surprisingly high mileage for such a barge, ultimate barge though. .

BackRoads.ie is -> that way. They might have 28k to spend.

I don't think they could be bargained down to 4k.

That car is epic. Doubt the price includes VRT though, although i'd imagine it wouldn't be too much for a car that old.
Would love it.

Its the Jag XK that somebody found a while back

Ok this one is still for sale...... For arguments sake if I was to buy this car I can get tax/vrt/vat back if I bring it abroad is that correct? If so how much? And where do I even start the process.
Can I do it from abroad.

Youd think there would be plenty of room in an A8 for 2 kids.

A bit O/T but a friend of mine runs an A8L (3.0 tdi), and we recently did a boys'weekend over to North East France (from northern UK): I can vouch that it will carry 800 bottles of wine (3/4 in 6-bottle crates, 1/4 as boxes-with-a-tap) without you ever noticing the slightest bit of weight/balance/etc. difference at the wheel, whatsoever. With room to spare for another 200+ bottles or so (looked like) :eek:

I'd prefer the '98 as it is the proper engine for that car.
Spec is probably much better too tbh, considering it's a UK car.

There is a 535i for under 500 on dd at the moment, I would be all over this in a heartbeat if it weren't in cork and dodgy looking ad

If there was ever a candidate for export that would be it.
You'd make a killing on that abroad I think.
I'd say if you showed up with 900e in cash you'd be driving home crying with laughter!

The state of their calculations. I bet if I imported the exact same car then my VRT would no way in hell be 476e.

To be fair, any car I've ever checked, the prices have been identical less the 500 charge of course. I have not been checking stuff of low value though.
There are a few cars out there that will turn a profit if exported though Thanks to very large cheques from revenue.

bear1

I think I worded it wrong, what I meant is that their VRT calculations for EXPORTING seem low but then for IMPORTING for instance that Jag I seriously doubt they would be quoting me 476e.

Just did a calculation there with the VRT for importing.
720e -> as I said before, the VRT will always get their money

mickdw

The import / export figures are always the same apart from the 500 charge.
The only reason the jag is different is because it's running into the minimum payment amount.

Dont those V8's have alot of trouble with nikasil and timing chain issues ? Could be spewing oil.

The Nikasil bore-liners thing should have been addressed by a recall. As for the timing chain tensioners, the plastic-bodied ones are the bad 'uns - they should be swapped out as a matter of course, and replaced with the metal-case ones used in the later 4.2 V8s.
