Just give us a call at 804-938-8767 or 804-928-9099. First Impression: At at First Glance, this is a Beautiful Sedan! The Color Combination, the Alloy Wheels, The Overall Good Condition, Bright Shiny Paint, and Every Other Option Create a Beautiful Car! This Full Size Sedan has Everything You Want, Need, and Even A Few Things You Don't Even Know You Want Yet! This car is All Sport, Speed, Fun, Luxury, Curb Appeal and Hotness! This car is a Looker! Everyone who sees it comments on the look of this car and Immediately Wants To Drive It! Interior: The Interior of this Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 is Amazing! It has so many Options, Upgrades, and Simply Well Thought Out and Useful Options that it will be difficult for me to list them all; but allow me to try. The Interior of this Audi A8 is a Lovely Combination of Beige and Wood Grain with Tasteful Chrome Accents. The seats are upholstered in Beige Leather. The Leather is still Soft. You will find that the seats do show some very minor wear. Nothing significant or noteworthy. There is a light stain on the rear passenger seat, a small area of wear on the driver bolster where the seatbelt is. We typically see much more wear and tear on 1997 model vehicles. The quality built into this Audi shows. The Steering Wheel is dark grey leather and is in good condition. You will find audio controls here. The gear shifter is also leather and in fine condition. The wood grain accents throughout this Audi look great. The dash is a combination of matching beige and dark gray. The dash and door are accented in matching wood trim. Wood grain trim on the doors, center console and the dashboard adds a touch of warmth. The interior is in Above Average Condition! I see some minor wear, less than you would get with a vehicle of this age. Everything is in great working order. I notice some wear on the seats as stated before and some of the chrome around the door handles is slightly worn. Power Upgrades In This Audi A8 Seem Unlimited! There is a Fully Power Sunroof with Retractable Sun Shade. You can open the Glass entirely to let the Sun and Breeze Flow In, You Can Vent The Sunroof For A Little Air Flow, Or You Can Just Slide the Shade Back To Let The Sun Shine In! This Sunroof is controlled by a dial conveniently located overhead near the front reading lights. Power Options Also Include a Dual Zone Climate Control System. Independently, Front Passengers Can Control and Set Their Temperature Controls. You Can Set the Digital Climate Control to a Specific Temperature, or you can manually over ride this and set the fan and temperature manually! There are All Power Convenience Features Such As Power Windows. In true upgraded fashion, All 4 windows are 1 Touch Power Down. There are also child lock protection for all passenger windows. Power Features Continue with Dual Heated and Power Front and Rear Seats, The Driver's Seat has 3 Pre Set Memory Settings. Now, these settings remember and automatically set the Door Mirrors and the Climate Control Temperature Settings. //There are 2 Keys and 1 Keyfob. This key fob is in rough condition, it has been taped to stay together. Again, something I would expect for a 1997 vehicle. Usually when we get cars of this age the keyfobs have been long gone and lost. Entertainment System: This Audi A6 Sedan has a Fully Loaded Entertainment System! The radio is a Factory Delta System. There is an in dash cassette player and AM FM Radio. The 6 disc cd player is located in the trunk and is conveniently out of sight. You will notice that the audio system was in "SAFE" mode at the time these pictures were taken. We are currently in the process of getting the code from Audi to have it reset, this will be done by the time the Audi is picked up by it's new owner :) This Display also shows the exterior temperature, the gear the transmission is in, and driver information such as miles to empty! Storage: This Audi is Loaded with Storage Options. Both General Space realized from the Practical Full Size Sedan Combines with Innovative Design to add in more Subtle Yet Practical storage options. First, A Full Size Sedan Adds Space. The additional space from the practical design of the spacious trunk and pass thru (part of the cold weather package-this was made to allow for skiis, however you will be surprised with the other uses you will find) allows for more items, larger items, and taller items inside the rear cargo area. The rear Bench Seat offers several surprises. The center arm rest in the rear bench seat folds down for rear passenger riding comfort, but it is also practical. As part of the cold weather package, once you flip down this center armrest, there is a ski boot. This covered pass through allows you to store and transport your skis inside the car. The boot covers the skis to protect them and the rear seating area. This ski boot also increases rear seat passenger comfort as it serves to hold the skis in place while driving down the road. The rear seats are heated and power controlled. Upon close inspection, you will not find any major issues with the interior of this sedan. The only thing is the less than normal wear and tear. All of the buttons have bright white writing with no fading, there is no pixelation on the guage panel and you get the original floormats. The only other thing to mention is that the glovebox does not open, not sure if it is us or the car. While ther are a few insigificant flaws on the interior of this Audi, overall the condition is way better than what I would expect for a 97 model. If you have realistic expectations, you will be pleasantly surprised. Exterior: The exterior of this Audi A8 4.2 Luxury Sedan is just as nice as the interior. So, again, you are looking at an Above Average Condition for a 1997 model, Proud to Drive, Sporty Sedan! I Can't Say It Enough, this car looks Fantastic! The outside is a classy combination of Navy Blue Metallic Paint, Factory Upgraded Alloy Wheels, and Overall Nice Condition. If you have realistic expectations, you will be thrilled with this 1997 Audi. The exterior is a Sharp and Classy Navy Blue Metallic. The paint is Shiny, Glossy, and in, again for a 1997 model, Great Condition! The exterior of this Audi is set off with a sleek, smooth, consistent look. All the body panels are painted to match the navy blue body color. Door Handles, bumpers, and moldings are all painted navy blue, the same as the primary body color. This consistency creates an expensive and classy look. The only off set color is introduced with the touches of chrome. Subtle Chrome colored accents dress up the front grill with the iconic Audi 5 ring emblem, 4.2 Quattro and A8 dress up the exterior of the rear trunk. A Chrome colored accent trim surrounds the passenger windows. Chrome continues on the 16" Alloy Wheels. The wheels show no noticeable damage or curb chew. This 1997 Audi A8 is riding on a set of 225/60/R16 tires with most of the tread left. These are in very good condition. The factory alloys show minimal to no curb chew. You will notice a missing piece of trim that goes around the housing for wiper on driver headlight, and the jack cover on rear bumper is not there either. There is a small crack/chip in the front license plate holder, a small ding on the rear driver side quarter panel, some scuffing on the bumpers, and small light scratching on the passenger side door. These are almost unseen in the pictures so we wanted to mention them, however even in person they are insignificant and un-noteworthy. Again, for a 1997 Audi, this one looks really good. It is so rare that we even see A8's, specifically with such low miles. If you have realisitic expectations you will absolutely be happy with this A8! Under the Hood: This Audi A8 is ready to go. We had the complete timing service (including the water pump) done so the next owner will have no worries with it. We also replaced both outer tie rods and the blower motor for the A/C. This car is ready to go!

Price! We are an Independent Dealership! With love overhead and high volume, our cars are priced less than most private sellers and normally only a few hundred dollars over our cost. We can provide quality cars at a low cost. Look at Wal-Mart, high volume companies save you money. 2. In VA, all of our running vehicles have to be State Safety Inspected. Virginia has one of the most strict inspection processes. An independent shop inspects such components as Lights, Suspension, Brakes, Tires, Windshield, and More! We usually plan on spending at least $600 per car to get them to pass state inspection. So, you have piece of mind that this inspection has been done recently. 3. As a dealer, you never have to wait to legally drive and register your car. Even if there is a bank payoff or title, we can facilitate an easy exchange and provide any necessary temporary tags and accompanying paperwork so you can drive away at the time of pick up. (Please note, not all cars qualify for temporary tags if we have the original title at time of transfer. 4. Safety! As a business, you have the added security and confidence that your safety is maintained at the time of pick up. No driving up to a stranger's house, our transactions take place at a licensed dealership. 5. Information available about each car we sell! We are professionals with years of experience. We are not dumping any unwanted junk out of our back yard on eBay. We spend hours taking detailed photos, including specific information about each car, and adding our own impressions of how a car performs. We do not have emotional attachments to these cars and try to be as honest as possible about the overall condition. 6. On, eBay you have the confidence that you are shopping with a state licensed, bonded and insured company. We cannot scam and run ebay frauds the way private sellers could. Plus, look at our years ebay history. We want to talk about a couple of items. We are Wholesale Dealers. We buy our cars Directly from New Car Dealers and Not Auctions. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that we sell quality cars. When they are traded in, someone at the new car dealer drives the car. When we buy the car, someone from our dealership drives the car. If a car has a problem we either fix it or disclose it. We have no intention or knowledge of ever selling a car with a problem. However, all cars break. I wish I could, but I cannot predict when a car will break. We do our best to represent the vehicle fairly, however, we are human and do make mistakes.

We sell cars As Is, and cannot warranty any vehicles we sell so please take careful consideration when bidding on or buying now these cars.
