Default Are you kidding me ???

As an 02 S8 owner with similar miles, I'm shocked at the low asking price. Guess I'll drive mine until the wheels come off.

Default Very low price for an S8 with those miles- I would check it out thoroughly.........

One of those "too good to be true" items?

Default Values are plummeting, guys. Check out the D3 board.

That's how I can afford to drive one of these beautiful machines.

Default It's been available for at least 3 or 4 months as I recall

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

After looking at a few S8's locally, I realized I wanted to see the car I was going to buy before I bought it.

And I did and got a very cherry one indeed!

I looked at that. I passed as I consider a used car dealer who advertises weekly/biweekly payments as about the lowest rung in the business... Could be a good deal, could be a freaking nightmare. If I was local, I would look it over and take it to a dealer for a looksee...

I've got my eye on two 01s right now...

I wouldn't buy an S8 from a Mazda sales outfit; others would. Usually you get what you pay for.

Wasn't there a Connecticut-located contributor to this forum who had a Burgundy S8? If it's the same car he said several months ago he was going to trade it in, maybe it went to auction?
