R8 V10 plus first reviews...
Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
Does anyone follow GT prices? Only 33 in UK, is that right? The R8 v10 is clearly a classic, 88k feels cheap, head properly turned..... Hmmm

They look and go a lot better than the same generation V10, but they still have that opinion dividing Rtronic box, and in my limited experience of driving one, I found it to be a bit too raw for my liking

Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
Ahhh yes, R-Tronic.. Dang.. Do they do a GT with S-Tronic or is that pretty much the LMS?
Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
GT was pre S-Tronic. LMX is a pimped plus.
Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
Bah, ok, thanks gents
Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
IMO the GT is the true unique car of the mk1 and will have strong RV's
The R-Tronic really is only a pig around town
On a track or fast road, it's bang on
The Plus / S Tronic is the sweet spot for a DD but there are lots of them.
But IMO the GT is super rare and has some really trick bits such as CF bumpers, Perspex windows, special buckets etc
The kingfisher at £89k with 2.9k miles is a great buy and if I didn't have Heff I'd buy it
If I were you Graeme, I'd buy it. Keep it 12/24 months then get a mk2 Plus once someone has spunked £30k depreciation

Graeme - you'd already called them then?!
I guess they just advertised it to get interest in the dealership

Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
That's the same one. I understand it's an ex Audi car, so might have been a track experience car, but that's still a good price

Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
I'm sure £80k would take it
It is a good price as can't see the Plus's dipping <£70k for at least 3 years from now, so £3/4k a year depreciation for that car is pretty epic

Graeme mentioned on the previous page after I posted a link that its already sold unfortunately. Someone got a bargain imoHYFR wrote:I'm sure £80k would take it

You said its an ex Audi experience car though? Not just a dealer demo?

Ex ADE would be a horror. Avoid. I've driven one for starters.

What do they show as on the V5?
My auntie and uncle are on their second ex-Audi UK owned Audi A4, no complaints, believe the first one was for an employee based at Bentley Crewe

Not belittling the car your aunt has, but I'd suggest that an Audi owned R8 would get treated very differently to an Audi owned A4Ian_C wrote:What do they show as on the V5?

I'm not sure which is likely to get treated worse ; An 'audi experience' car that's going to get thrashed everyday, but at least looked after well, maintained able the service schedule and hopefully warmed up properly, or a Dealer demo car, that will largely get thrashed, an almost certainly not looked after (i.e. revved from cold and generally abused)

Re: R8 V10 plus first reviews...
I have no issue with a audi Experience R8 other than possible wear and tear to seats etc.
Tyres/brakes/oil all changed and the R8 is bullet proof and likes to be thrashed
