Can it really be that cheap?

[Gally]

Yes! I'm surprised they aren't lower than that tbh.

Cheap to buy but a millionaires car to run probably!

Bit of a VWFAIL

 

[pip.]

I'd be tempted for the engine alone, but the mpg must be horrific.

I wonder what the slight attention is?

 

[Winston]

Thats uber cheap for a W12

 

[mat-nos]

proper pimp but cost a fortune in fuel......

 

[Tom]

Cheapest way to a safe 200mph.

 

[Darren S]

Aye - I dread to think what the running and maintenance costs would be on these. I only looked on PH as I saw that Top Gear repeat at weekend when Clarkson drove one. It's an epic piece of machinery for the money. It's just that cost when things go wrong....

Judging by how cheap it is, i'd guess on it needing an engine lol ...

 

[SteveS Cup]

It probably needs brakes, Tyres and a service... I bet that is £10k's worth of work!! Lol.

 

[Sipha]

Same as the A8 W12 presumably ?

A mate of mine had the A8 W12 for a week, so naturally we took advantage and had some fun Epic is 1 word to describe them, the power delivery is relentless and completely absured lol, it never stops coming !

 

[R20 CWH]

An extremely well presented example which requires slight attention hence the low price.

that means the ESP warning light is on the dash

:lolup:

some car for the money though. Proper cruiser, apparently its high teens for mpg.

 

[W17GLE]

Oh i'd like that, would be a great motorway cruiser.

 

[Martin_172]

wonder if i should stick one of these in the back of my sisters lupo

Do it, Do it, Do it.

Same engine as a CGT. Makes an awesome noise and is rapid!

 

[Russ_16v]

Different engine, same configuration though, called the same engine as its part of the same group.

Another example of VAG's madness is the 3.2 V6 that goes in the R32, the A3 3.2 and the Touraeg, all 3.2's with the same power, but all three different engines!

CC is all different on them, few other little bits, utter madness

That must really add to the production costs? Seems crazy that they would even attempt to differentiate.

[Russ_16v]

Yup, complete madness, cant imagine why they would do it but it must be cost effective im guessing

 

[Dunn]

cant see it on there now (N)

 

[Nigel]

My Dad services one and he said the labour to change the alternator was immense as it's actually mounted in the centre of the V between the cylinders and everything above it has to be removed. I think the bill was nearly 1k.

Huooooge breaks on the front of it as well.
