    Still trying to get the maintenance history on it.

    Do it! Especially with the brown interior, that looks awesome. Offer $2k cash and go pick it up already.

    I racked up quite a few miles on the S6 this year with road trips so had been thinking about buying a beater for around $2k for the winter and that sprung up locally.

    You did not come to the right place to get talked out of that.

    I definitely want a D2 driver at some point. Small dream to pick one up for a few hundred with a bad trans, 6-speed swap, RNS-E with bluetooth, wheels, coils and muffler delete and call it a day!

    That is a super solid car and they go for so cheap. Great value for money!

    Agree the brown interior looks so good. Dooo iiitttt :)

    My opinions on the a8 are torn. I find some qualities of their build quality "A4 ish" while others are nicer than a c5. Lots of additional do dad s that like to fail and cause warning lights. I do enjoy the fact that they weight the same or less than a c5 a6.

    On this particular one, those tan seats are pretty pimp and from what I have seen the D2 seats are usually never in poor condition...

    I would try and get it much much cheaper than 2500 being that the transmission is a ticking time bomb. Could blow out on the test drive for all you know.

    Looks like a deal to me, that interior combo . My mother drove a D2 for many years until the transmission bit the dust. Always loved that car!

    As a dearly departed audi owner, lemme tell you

    D2s are awesome and everyone should own one in their lifetime and possibly maybe sorta mod one too
