I Bought A DESTROYED Audi R8 From Salvage Auction

  • The Audi R8 is a fantastic super car. While having daily drivable features, it certainly goes like a super car when you want it to. The Audi R8 highest trim packages come equipped with a monster v10 engine. Capable of producing massive horsepower numbers when twin turbos are added. The Audi R8 also comes with a massive price tag to purchase. Which left us wondering, how much are the parts worth?
    Luckily we know just the place to look. Copart salvage auctions. This particular Audi R8 came from the Chicago area with massive amounts of damage. Far too much to consider rebuilding. Which made this Audi R8 the perfect candidate to salvage as many parts as possible from. Join us as we tear down this Audi R8 and find out just where the value lies!

    Nothing wrong with buying a variety of different salvage finds. They are way cheaper than actually buying the car, but many people aren't ready for the journey it takes to get these back to their original state. Me personally, I would buy an old muscle car salvaged, but I definitely would be prepared for the process of putting back together to keep it for myself. 😂

    As a retired Dealership Porsche Premier/Audi tech as far back as when Audis were basically junk & the 100LS was top of the line (I was 99% a Porsche tech) so it pains me to say that the R8 V/10 is quicker & faster than ALMOST any 911 or Cayman variant.

    Not to say the Hell Cat isn’t a nice. But in 2016 I bought a SRT 392. I ordered it and by far it has about everything Dodge could put in it. Basically the same as top of the line 2016 Hell Cat . The car came in Red line red which was only offered for one year. The great thing about this car is it’s fun to drive. It looks like the first day I bought it. I have 16000 miles on it and at this point I will never get rid of it at any price. Just thought I would comment on this. Srt 392 is just a fun car without smoking the tires which I never done

    Lee, I think you need to divide the profit by the purchase price to get a better indicator for the ROI. You should show that as a separate percentage column. Oh and then the R8 performs better than the GT3 RS 😂

    Love all the videos particularly the High end stuff, but in the last $ breakdown the Audi's potential profit of $20K against a purchase price of $30K I think is a better proposition considering the Porsche purshase price was $80K and only provided an additional $10K potential profit, rather interesting don't you think?

    • @scraplifedalt
      @scraplifedalt Рік тому

      Yes, if you do it based off percentage the layout is totally different. Something like the BRZ TS from the last salvage story will rank very high even in comparison to the big dollar high end cars.
