Audi S8 Final Edition '52'

[rod998]

Hello
New on the forum and looking to buy my first Audi.
I'm going to look at a'52' S8 Final Edition.
Full service history from new. It seems immaculate and very well looked after with all paperwork.
My question is really, is there anything specific I should be looking/listening for?
I know they are very well built but also very expensive if they go wrong.
Thanks in advance

The gearbox is the weakest link and can fail from 100k onwards, a replacement box or a service history for that (it's not included on the Audi service schedule) is good to have, a new one is £3.5K.
Cambelt is due at 80K make sure that's been done.
The exterior ali trim can go milky but other than that they are great cars.
I've had a 2000 S8, 2002 S8, 2008 D3 S8 and am moving on to a D4 S8, great cars
