Default Anyone know anything about this S8 on ebay?

It's been relisted a couple of times. Price seems a little on the high end, but the seller is willing to come up on my trade. Don't know if the timing belt service has been done yet, but if so that might justify the higher asking price. Car seems to be in pretty good shape for the mileage, and although I'm not thrilled with the beige interior color it looks to be clean. I'm wondering if it's worth taking a trip to NY to check it out. Any thoughts?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=4591959379&amp;ssp agename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1">2001 Audi S8 on ebay</a></li></ul>

MIles are a bit high for an 01, but looks like a very nice specimen of an S8.

Why - does it look like something is wrong with it, or is it not supposed to be there?
