Hi All,

As you can see and have probably read I'm getting out of the S5 and into a Golf R. I love love love my S5 but the lady in my life can't drive manual and if little Benajmin's come along (God help us) then I need something with 4 doors.

It's a Brilliant Black 2008 Audi S5. It's got a 4.2 litre quad cam V8 that is the same or similar the engine that's in the RS4. They're not making them anymore apparently. The new ones are V6T's so it's a genuinely awesome chance to get into a great V8 with the best sound on the road.

From factory it's got:
- 19 inch wheels,
- Bang and Oluffsen sound system,
- Carbon trim bits,
- Full leather interior,
- Audi park assist,
- Audi music interface,
- Navigation and I'm sure a few other bits and pieces I've forgotten about.

The previous owner was a CEO that lived on the central coast and commuted everyday to Sydney. So the km's are high (90k) but it's all highway stuff. It's been serviced to within an inch of it's life (beyond 110k) and always by Audi centre Sydney. All the stamps are there.

It's also got brand new tyres on it.

From factory it's rated at 260kw which when you take into account 30% drivetrain losses for the Quattro system means it should be putting out around 182kw at the wheels. So when it produced 182.3kw at all four wheels I was pretty impressed given it's been around for a little while. Maybe it was put together on a Tuesday before lunch.

Since I bought it it's had an oil change and a minor service and had a Milltek exhaust and large bore downpipe system fitted to it. Exhaust and downpipes make a nice noise. Not as loud as I wanted but it's a good change. The system was approx $2k.

Looking for $71k neg

If you know of anyone there's a spotters fee up for grabs as well.

Here's how it looks at the moment.

Hi Ben,

That statement you made in your comments about Audi not making the V8 in the S5 coupe is wrong only the S5 convertible and sportback are a 3.0 supercharged v6 not the coupe S5's.

Thanks guys. It's a wonderful car to drive. Power everywhere and it's not too bad on fuel for a V8. I just need something smaller and easier for my girlfriend to drive and auto. Otherwise I'd be keeping it.

That's correct. Just saw that. The coupe remains V8

The S5 Product Update which will launch in the new year has dropped the V8 from the Coupe and as Ben has said, replaced with the 3.0 Supercharged 6.

Nice car mate,and GL with the sale. Women have alot to pay for. Id be on the Renaultsport Forum whoring there site about my new RS250 if it wasnt for the wife and her silly philosophy about children in 3dr cars.
Anyway,I have a farm in Maleny that has a secret stash of 3 door cars, you can join me, we can drive around free as jaybirds running over hippies, ( in your car of course)your wife will never know.

Such a sexy looking machine!

But yeah, a coupe isnt exactly baby friendly! LOL.... youll find yourself with either yourself or your baby getting constant head injuries trying to get in and out of the back.

Good luck with the sale!

Yes Ben there a big chance of a hippie kill. We have to be careful as hippies are dressing like normal people, so what I do is hang hommus or something organic off a tree and the just wander in..... Bam, click click ( bolt action ) Bam .......

Rob, please cross check (and in future reference) your statements before posting them on this forum. your wild acusations had potentially cost Ben thousands on his S5s sale price not to mention him questioning his own VW / Audi product group knowledge which was correct to begin with


The top models in the series – the S5 as Sportback, Coupé and Cabriolet – have also been refreshed. All S5 models, including the Coupé, are now equipped with the 3.0 TFSI producing 245 kW (333 hp).
