AN Audi saloon once owned by a Hollywood A-lister is set to sell for a cool £25,000.
Back in 2009, the Bafta award-winning actor Jude Law bought this brand-new Audi S8.

That was the year in which he briefly reconciled with long-term partner, actress Sienna Miller who he was separated from previously since his public apology for having had an affair with the couple's nanny in 2005.
Sadly, the car, and Jude's efforts were not enough for Sienna, and the pair broke off their relationship for good in 2011.
The car, which Jude might have intended as a new family vehicle, comes with a 5.2-litre V10 engine offering a peak power of 450hp and could be yours for £24,950.
Incredibly, there has only been one other owner of this sleek and classy automobile, meticulously maintaining it and covering a total of 60,000 miles so far.

“This Audi presents really nicely for a decade and a-half old car,” reads the listing by Car Barn in Stanley, Durham.
“The interior, in particular, looks fantastic. Get ready to swoon over old Audi dials, and the exterior only seems to have suffered from a couple of stone chips.
“The asking price is £24,950, which makes it as much as a later turbo V8 car with comparable mileage.
“All that being said, it isn’t hard to look at these pics and imagine yourself where Jude Law once sat, surrounded by leather and carbon fibre and with a socking great V10 ahead.

“For fans of the brand or the man, or, you never know, maybe just the car, it looks a very cool S8 indeed.”
The Audi S8 was also highly rated by YouTuber Jonny Brighton of the channel who listed his favourite pacey saloon cars that won't break the bank.
Five incredibly cool Audis you can pick up secondhand for bargain prices - including discontinued sports car that's a future classic
Speaking about the S8, Jonny said: "It's basically a performance version of a full-size size luxury car which pretty much refuses to compromise on either performance or luxury."
The petrolhead added that the S8 badge "adds a little bit of spice into the mix" compared to other Audi saloons, with this model possessing "slightly more performance focussed suspension and sportier seats which remain comfortable."
The S8 has certainly captured the imagination of motorheads looking for the best of both worlds - while celebs such as Kevin Costner and Ben Affleck have also been spotted driving them in the past.
If £25,000 is out of your price range then an Audi TT might have some appeal.
The beloved model was discontinued last year but can still be picked up second-hand at reasonable prices for now.
Dating back almost 30 years to 1998, the Audi TT is one of the most popular motors the German brand has ever produced.
Despite its appeal, though, the TT is available at very reasonable rates online.
One listing on puts a similar 2015 version with just £44,000 miles on the clock at £11,550.
