Buying 1998 V8

[DrMG]

Hello. I'm thinking of buying a 98 V8 with 16,000 miles on the clock. I'd like some advice from members as to what problems to look for on this model. I currently own a 96 S4S and am delighted with it. Given the relative recency of the V8 engine, I'm interested to know the views of others on this model and MY and what problems I might face.

Thanks for any advice

I have an S4s now, and recently sold my 99 V8. Engine was fantastic and the power is amazing, no reliability problems. If you work it though, the engine mountings can get loose, which is a very bad thing but you can feel it before it is a problem.

Other than that, superb car. S4S handles a little better, V8 goes a little quicker and sounds godlike!
