Default Anyone need Thule Audi A8 Roof Rack and 2 Thule Bike Carriers ?

I sold my 1998 A8 last month. Loved the car but high maintenance costs and looming transmission woes made me decide to part with it.

I have a two year old Thule A8 Roof Rack and 2 Thule Bike Carriers. They are in great condition. (Think I used them only about 5 times). New price is $515 plus tax ("rack you car" at Thuleracks.com). I would like $275 for them.

I could either ship (shipping would be extra) or you could pick them up if you live reasonably close to Hartford, CT. (I would also be willing to drive halfway if not too far).

The roof rack set consists of:
-4x Thule 400xt Aero Foot
-2x Thule LB50 Load Bars
-1x Thule 328 Fit Kit for Audi A8
-Pack of 6 matching Thule 596 lock cylinders
The two bike carriers are:
-2x Thule 599xtr Big Mouth Uprights.
Also have all original instructions

If anyone is interested then let me know. I can send photos and more info.

thanks..<ul><li><a href="http://www.thuleracks.com">http://www.thuleracks.com</a</li></ul>

You can also see how the bike carriers set up on Thuleracks.com.

Default Here is a link to photo of A8 with Thule roof rack

Below is a link (copy and paste into your browser) to a past audiworld posting with a photo of a Thule roof rack installed:

https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/66383.phtml

The photo in the above message shows a ski box on the rack. I don't have the ski box (although you can order one) but what I have to sell is the same Thule roof rack with the Thule A8 fit kit (which is what makes it fit to the A8) with 2 Thule bike carriers. The below link to the Thule website depicts how a bike sits in a Thule bike carrier:

Anyone else have a photo of an installed Thule roof rack on their A8?
