Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Hi all quick bit of advice if I may. I realise I'm asking in an Audi forum so responses will/may be biased , but for the pure car lovers out there I'm undecided between these 2.
An Audi R8 V10 Manual. Must have buckets/ ceramics. £60 k ish
A porsche 997 Turbo S PDK. White with Aerokit and has ceramics anyway. £70k ish
I think both are doing very well in terms of slow depreciation and are a good buy. Il be using it as a weekend car as have an BMW F10 M5 as my daily.
Any thoughts/ comments appreciated.

Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Not sure you'll find a 997 for that money either, at least not a decent one. Have you checked it over, OPC car or ?
Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Seen a few at 74-75k. A bit of negotiation should see me bettering that by a bit. Same with the R8 quite a few seen at 65 k one with ceramics. Can always retrofit buckets circa2-3 k.doodlebug wrote:Not sure you'll find a 997 for that money either, at least not a decent one. Have you checked it over, OPC car or ?
Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Have seen one at huntingon Audi White with ceramics. But has red leather. Is that a no no come resale. Not sure about it myself...
Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Marmite. Will have to factor into price come resale.
997 is very sensitive to history, have to do your homework.
Buckets are more like 3k plus to retrofit. DK will know better than most.

Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
OEM buckets for R8 and you are looking at £5k
Non model branded bucket such as S3 you are looking at £2k used, but tough to find any in a condition worthy of an R8

Seen this

Any thoughts?
In terms of service history should it have had 2 services? Assume every 2 years or 20 k miles? Brake fluid 2 yearly? Spark plugs? Diff oil?
It has ceramics, b&o , magnetic ride.. Will retrofit some buckets.
Thanks

Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Looks priced well. I'd get it checked over by another (separate to the one selling) dealer or specialist, and as long as you can get some buckets reasonably priced, you're laughingS14 wrote:Seen this

From a personal point, I'd not want red interior on a white car, so good to see it appears to be seats only and not door cards etc, as that could get pricey. As Dave says above, non R8 branded buckets can be picked up for circa £3k, or if you maybe wanted to get the red retrimmed, you'd be looking at around £1k for a really decent job

Looks very nice

Rears are clearly Continentals, are those OE fitment on the R8?

Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Thanks for the replies. Tyres have 7 mm all round. Realistically what should I offer them/ start the negotiation at? Would 60 k be optimistic?
Re: Porsche 997 Turbo S or V10 R8
Yep, but nothing to loose
