***PLEASE SEE MY OTHER NO RESERVE AUCTIONS*** This car is in amazing condition both visusally, cosmetically and mechanically. The paint is excellent and it is obvious this car has been garaged for its lifetime. The leather and interior are excellent as the pictures show. This car rides and drives like a dream and there are no mechanical issues. The suspension and handling are excellent and the handling with the quattro AWD is superb especially with the brand new tires. You would be hard pressed to find a car in this condition at this price point and with the ammount of luxury options. Heated seats in front and back with dual climate control. Items needing attention: Cruise Control is not working Radio Antenna is not going up and down Center driver armrest is broken but functional Audi logo missing from passenger front fender Front Blinker is missing in pics but I am working on getting a replacement for the new owner Full-size luxury returns to the Audi lineup as the 1997 A8 replaces the now defunct V8. The Audi A8 sedan includes all the sophistication, creature comforts, and classic engineering already on display in the A4 and A6 sedans, but adds some innovations that help improve on handling and fuel efficiency. Available in either a 32-valve 3.7 V8 at 230-hp or a rocket 4.2 V8 at 300-hp, the 1997 A8 is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard with the 4.2 V8. The 1997 A8 is the first sedan in the U.S. to employ an alumnimum frame and exterior panels (Audi Space Frame technology) which is designed to improve responsiveness and raise the fuel economy by reducing the overall weight of the car. As a result, the A8 handles more like a smaller car, and with the propulsive 4.2 V8, acceleration is incredible for such a large car. The quattro feature makes hay of snow and ice and adds to the feeling of security already provided by the standard ABS brakes, anti-slip technology, and independent rear suspension. Another innovation in the A8 is six airbags -- dual front and side and two rear side airbags. Inside, luxury abounds with characteristic Audi standard features such as leather seats, power front seats, memory features for the driver's seat, mirrors, steering wheel, and headrest, and a power sunroof. Various packages offer heated seats or a solar sunroof that powers an interior fan. Most owners love the 1997 Audi A8 for its spaciousness and well-planned interior that add to rider comfort. The 4.2 engine is a powerhorse delivering immediate acceleration response and a thrill behind the wheel. Handling and smoothness only improves with speed and some feel it outperforms the comparable BMW 7 series. Quattro grip is outstanding. 3,697 cc 3.7 liters 8 V 90° front longitudinal engine with 84.3 mm bore, 82.3 mm stroke, light alloy block, light alloy head, double overhead cam, automatic valve adjustment and four valves per cylinder Unleaded fuel Fuel economy EPA highway (l/100km): 9 Multi-point injection fuel system Main 90 liter fuel tank Power: 172 kW , 230 HP @ 5,500 rpm; 235 ft lb @ 2,700 rpm CFC free liquid air conditioning with climate control Power antenna Remote control peripheral interior monitoring anti-theft protection Front illuminated ashtray , rear ashtray Audio anti-theft protection: code Stereo manufacturer's own audio system with AM/FM Cargo area light Cargo capacity: rear seat up; to lower window (liters): 498, rear seat down; to lower window (liters): 0, rear seat down (liters): 0, all seats in place (liters): 498 and all seats removed (liters): 0 Front seats illuminated cigar lighter Digital clock Four functions computer with average speed, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption and range for remaining fuel Dashboard full console with open storage box , floor full console with covered storage box Delayed/fade courtesy lights with four switches in footwell Steering wheel mounted cruise control Front seats cup holders Door ajar warning Door pockets/bins for driver seat, passenger seat and rear seats Floor covering: carpet in passenger compartment and carpet in load area Carpet floor mats Driver and passenger front airbag Bucket seat 3-point reel height adjustable front seat belts on driver seat with pre-tensioners and grabbers , 3-point reel front seat belts on passenger seat with pre-tensioners and grabbers Folding front seat center armrest Lockable illuminated glove compartment with lid Height adjustable electric adjustable head restraints on front seats , height adjustable head restraints on rear seats Internal dimensions: front headroom (mm): 988, rear headroom (mm): 970, front leg room (mm): 1,049, rear leg room (mm): 975, front shoulder room (mm): 1,481, rear shoulder room (mm): 1,450 and interior volume (liters): 2,826 Low fuel level warning Low washer fluid level warning Memorized adjustment with one settings on door mirror position and steering wheel position with four driver's seat positions Key power locks with internal switch includes trunk/hatch, includes fuel filler door, includes sunroof and operates from passenger door Vehicle speed proportional power steering Front power windows with door mounted switches, safety operation and two one-touch , rear power windows with door mounted switches and safety operation Front and rear reading lights 3-point reel rear seat belts on driver side with pre-tensioners and grabbers , 3-point reel rear seat belts on passenger side with pre-tensioners and grabbers , lap reel rear seat belts on center side Folding rear seat center armrest Bench fixed three rear seats Automatic operation rear view mirror Electric remote trunk/hatch release Front seat back storage Seating: five seats Leather seat upholstery with additional leather Front side airbag Ten speakers Leather covered steering wheel Tachometer Driver and passenger illuminated vanity mirror Ventilation system with digital controls, push button heater controls, variable fan speeds, recirculation setting, rear seat heater ducts and micro filter On Feb-14-11 at 05:55:50 PST, seller added the following information: SAVE MONEYON SHIPPING! uShip is the first and largest auction stylemarketplace for shipping and transportationservices.
