Default Is it real or?

Never saw an S8 without SPORT SEATS or AVUS WHEELS. So is this real or a wantabe?

Default Good points, I would most likely agree that it's a wantabe

You can't see the front brakes, so there's something else, I'm trying to see how it sits to see what kind of suspension it has.

Sure doesn't have H&amp;R's, and I don't know if it's low enough to be an S8, but the front wheel gap looks a little lower than a stock A8.

The wheels obviously aren't stock S8 wheels and I too have never seen a US bound S8 without sport seats.

The dash looks as if it might of been changed? Any opinions there?

It is a nice looking car, but it very well could be not an S8. Maybe I should drive to Holland MI to take a peak!

Default Check my sig pic...

2000 8L with 145/45 18 BBS RC -- very similiar looking to the shoes on the vehicle in question.
The gap on my car looks the same. I have the stock suspension. My wheel combo is identical in height to the stock 17's w/ 225/55/17's.

I'd say this EBay car does not look like a lowered (sport or S8 or HR-sprung) vehicle.

I agree, but you should get some of the "real" mirror caps, they look awesome on black!

Default Carfax

I don't know how reliable it is but I did a quick free carfax on the VIN and registration came up as a 01 S8.

This car is in my backyard (about 5 miles from my house). Alan Christian Motorcars is a reputable dealer in Holland, however I had questions on the seats and spare also. Let me know if anyone wants me to take a peak for them. I have a digital camera.
