Hot Marc, I'm a prospective engineer...I'm not going to be big here...I've already done in the V8 area.

Here's what I'm saying.
In the not too distant future, I have a beautiful Audi V8 to offer as a collector's object and future classics, as well as weekend car.
However, I discovered earlier at mobile.de that the prices for the younger brother of the V8 also fell enormously. I have already been able to discover various Audi A8s well below 7,000€.
Since I'm still a student, I'm hardly going to get an Audi A8. Currently my Golf V5 is also very good (autogas...very cheap). However, I would like to be a everyday vehicle in about . half a year likes to increase an Audi A8. I don't really make big demands on the car:
- Reliability and solid technology
- Automatic (no leather nor any special rims are required...only free)
- I already drive 150hp in the golf and don't want to be much slower afterwards than now
- I want the car to accompany me for a long time, because I'm going to convert it to autogas
Here near me there is a silver Audi A8 4.2 quattro of 10/97 with a delicate 100,000Km on the speedometer, from 2. Hand with well-kept checkbook for around 7,000€. Looked at the good piece. Hanger clutch and park rempler make me feel disheartened. Otherwise, the car looks very good. Lacquer is right, rims and tires, as well as brake are still very good. It shrugged in me briefly that I could also pay for my golf and get an A8 for it; if only "something" next to it as a still-student to drive such a chunk. I'd rather wait for no one to make a funny face if I move that.
What kind of engine would you recommend to me? 2.8, 3.7, 4.2, with or without quattro?
What mileage is advisable? Or where can you dare? More than 150,000km???
Is the automatic similar to the V8? Or you have to worry more seriously there that one of the converters etc. I'm not going to fly around my ears?
What should I pay special attention to when buying?
My budget is up to €8,000. That's all I want to spend, because after all, a real dream car would wait for its restoration...and then the V8 has priority.
I would really be very pleased with well-intentioned advice.
Wunschtraum...
Etwas zu schwachbrüstig für den Achter... Vor allem in den ersten Modellen mit dem Zweiventiler, Vierstufenautomat und 174PS.
