When it comes to A8 videos, the polish drivers are the worst. They're such posers and tasteless wankers. No wonder they've always been a cheap workforce for the West.

@@Coldwallbar The D2 is notorious for transmission issues. Had to replace mine three times in 10 years of ownership. Fortunately, it was warrantied the second time. It's supposedly a "closed" system without need for replacing the transmission fluid but I highly recommend doing so on any car with more than 75,000 miles on it. This model is also prone to eat up ignition coils, but so do the newer models. Maintenance is not for the faint of heart - it's part of Audi ownership. Find a good independent shop that you can trust which knows these cars and you'll be okay. Personally, I find the quality of the build on these D2's to be superior to newer Audi's. Better leather seats and vinyl parts. Last but not least, make sure the timing belt has been changed on any car with higher mileage. Do the water pump at the same time since the engine is already broken down for the timing belt job.

I owned it for years, drove it everyday. Never gave me an issue beyond one time needing an ABS module. There is a illusion out there that all old luxury cars are impossible to keep up. That is a lie, do your research, find that nice example and you'll be fine. I must say that some cars are indeed nearly impossible to keep on the road when old.

Sorry for typo on earlier post. My D2 is identical to yours BUT with black interior which is in nearly mint condition. I also have a black cherry 2008 D3 with the sport package so it has the same rims as your D2. Currently looking to buy a set for the D2 because they look great on yours. My D2 was garaged for last three years and it needed catalytic converters when stored and given you rarely see D2s anymore I have the car in the shop having them installed today. Looking forward to getting this future classic back on the road.

@@RGRChristian So I read that you sold the D2. Could you share why? I have a D3 and the only reason I'm keeping the D2 is that I've missed out on the appreciation some other cars I sold for pretty much nothing (Datsun 280Z, 87' M5 clone with 3 piece BBS rims, etc.). I was hoping the D2's would start appreciating but given the difficulty with parts and that darn ZF tranny I'm having my doubts. Put $5k into maintenance and upgrades last year and doubtful I'll even break even if I sell her anytime soon. Thoughts?
