There is a blue S8 selling next door here ...
I think it is an '02, not sure about miles, but I can check if you like. They are not normal dealers, they just deal with audis and are more gearheads supporting their car habit than anything else. Owner and his son are the only two people that work there, and are both very nice and very knowledgeable. I'll put it this way, I'll buy my next audi from them.

I wouldn't feel too bad about this one Paldi.....
This place resells buybacks and lemons. This S8 was very attractive, with low miles. Who knows what was wrong with this thing, and what was burried under the covers.
They also have alot of 04 S4s with 5K or less miles. I opened a Carfax account and ran them. One or two owners, mainly from the south. Retitled in Michigan (could this be where AoA fixes and reviews these cars), than bought by that place. One car was labeled a LEMON by the CA DOT and showed on Carfax.
Your car will show up. There are a few S8 drivers in Erie that periodically trade their cars in. I'll keep an eye out.

Where? The map in the website doesn't give the State!
Also doesn't say anything about a blue S8, just a silver A8. Guess it needs an update! I did send them an email. P'haps they will respond... Thanks for the lead!!!

There are 3 S8s that I know of in town..not for sale though : ^ (
1 blue, 1 green, and 1 dark red. 1 lawyer and 2 CPAs if memory serves. Fred Baker Audi on Autotrader had an A8L, I think 01 with 40K miles on it (white/tan).
I troll the Audi lot here (only on sundays, can't stand the lot lizards) every couple of weeks and watch the paper for stuff peeps might be interested here on the forums.

Sorry, it is in burlington vermont...
If you like I can go test drive it for you, what with it being near work. Just as a favor you know since I hate driving sweet cars so much. 
Glad to help.
