Sometimes car research includes perusing online listings for dream vehicles in addition to looking at more likely choices. So those who have seen a listing for Tim Allen’s super car may not make a bid, but it could give them a reason to look at used Audis in New Jersey.
According to an eBay listing for a 2007 Audi S8, the car was originally owned by the star of Home Improvement and movies like The Santa Clause. The actor is known for being a gearhead, having written about the value of his garage in several books and frequently featuring cars in his comedy and on episodes of his show.
The car in question may be out of the price range of some, considering that it hadn’t reached the reserve price with bids of more than $50,000. That may be because of a V-10 engine that puts out more than 450 horsepower and a variety of features that make the S8 a powerful road-going vehicle.
While the S8 may not fit the budget of everyone, seeing how someone like Tim Allen can appreciate the German automaker could spawn sales of other used Audis in New Jersey, many of which share the Quattro system of all-wheel drive that can aid handling during winter months.
