For $15000, This 2003 Audi S8 Will Let You Stick Around - Jalopnik
Okay, for today's 2003 Audi S8 we're just going to just get something out of the way - rip the bandaid off as it were. Now, I know that can be a total buzzkill for mostof you, and in fact a deal-ender for some. It's like a 'I've got herpes' announcement on a first date, or the discovery that the lottery that you've just won was in fact written by Shirley Jackson. this big S8 has been converted to a six-speed manual. Now, if you're in Europe you're probably saying, pfffft, big deal, Shifty McShifter. That's because you all got Audi's range-topper with just that box from the factory. The thing of it is though, here in the U. S. we only got the big aluminum sport sedan with a 5-speed Triptronic, a lamentable fact that gave us all a case of the sads. The big eight also rocks five valves per cylinder which means healthy breathing through the rev range, lots of power, and astronomical repair bills should you let the timing belt go bad. The headliner looks so plush that you may just want to take off your shoes and run your toes through its plushy plushness, spider pig style. Source: jalopnik.com
