  • @mitchd949
    @mitchd949 6 років тому +76

    Summarizing: 1) hates exhaust sound, 2) hates fact front has no lift, 3) hates r-tronic gearbox. Well, exhaust sound is purely subjective. I have a 2015 which I ordered new to get one of the last gen 1 cars - I personally like the exhaust. It's subdued when your puttering around but put your foot down and it sounds terrific. I've driven Porsche 911 series cars for 28 years and the R8 seems to have less scraping on the nose than the 996, 997, and 991's that I've had. I get into my driveway with no issues in the R8 whereas the P cars occasionally made contact with the ground. Lastly, the r-tronic is generally viewed by all R8 owners as the least desirable gearbox. No doubt it contributed to the low price you paid for your 2009.

      Depends on what you want to have. When two cars are the same price they are very comparable. New Tahoe value after 3 years = $40k. Strads R8 in 3 years = still ~55-60k. R8 repairs, probably a few K but not 30k like that Tahoe depreciates. Plus is you get a lot more smiles per gallon in the R8

    It isn't really fair to say that the car is on par with a Tahoe.. or any other cars you highlighted. Keep in mind your car is almost 10 years old... it's also not a v10... it also was silver.... That's why it was 68k. The majority of people wouldn't pay 3/4 of 100k for a car that is almost a decade old. You can do as you please with your money, and that's fine, but for most people buying a car that old for that much money is a very foolish idea. Just saying.

      Kyle B buying a car in general is a bad idea lol. Maintenance and all that

      KyleCBE People pay much, much more than 68k for cars that are older than 10 years.

    Excellent. I have a Ferrari 360 and am looking to change. V8 or V10 and maybe an AMV8. Love my 360 but want a change. I've heard about frame cracking on early R8's (no idea of years) and A/C compressor failure. I'd hate the A/C (or anything on the car) not to work but in the UK I could manage without it mostly.
    Thing is I have had three Ferraris, Mondial QV, F355 and my 360. Mostly these cars have been trouble free if a bit expensive on maintenance. Audi R8 hmmm. Thanks.
