And so the fun begins, GFV of 38k after 4 years, Apr 8.9!HYFR wrote:the LMX is a true parts bin special. the only thing it had was Laser Lights which is a gimmick. Everything else could have been spec'd onto a normal R8
The GT is an epic car, and has many unique and special touches, and also rare ... its GB lets it down, but will be hold strong RV's
Saw a new R8 today outside McLaren Manchester on the road for the first time, black, actually looked better than I thought on the road ... just too expensive.
£85k is a good deal for a 2014 manual plus in the right spec.
over the next 4 yrs max you will lose is £20k, so for £5k pa. for that type of car is mental value ... it will hold its own with a Huracan, 458, 12C etc on the road

Re: R8 v10 plus
should be able to get 7.9% APR and the GFV is always going to be out of kilter with the real market, so just look at it like you are paying into a savings account with the higher payments (assuming you won't hand it back or PX which would be madness)
Re: R8 v10 plus
Cheers - the challenge for me is that I switch out of cars so frequently that I'm unlikely to get the benefit of the low GFV. I'm going to ponder this over xmas. Am talking to a few dealers about GT4s, but I'm curious as to their price movement over the next few months.HYFR wrote:should be able to get 7.9% APR and the GFV is always going to be out of kilter with the real market, so just look at it like you are paying into a savings account with the higher payments (assuming you won't hand it back or PX which would be madness)

Re: R8 v10 plus
haha - cheers
GT4 premiums aren't worth paying IMO
£60 - 70k is about the sweet spot
any more it just doesn't have the power
I've had 7 R8's in the past and never kept them any longer than 6 months and have not lost much money, even buying from main dealers on 5 occasions
Main dealers are often the cheapest, especially at this time of year
I'd go for it - its a super rare care

Re: R8 v10 plus
GT4 will retain value short to medium term, but I wouldn't buy one at 90 or 100k.
Low GFV is not beneficial!

I missed out on the initial allocation, and have since had a drive of one. They're a great car at £68k, but not even close for a >£100k car

Re: R8 v10 plus
Edging ever closer to it but there's no way I'm going to P/ex the RS4 with them; they have a laughable view of book value (big surprise!).HYFR wrote:

Re: R8 v10 plus
So I too am looking for an R8 V10(+), 2014/2015, <10,000 miles, manual or S-Tronic; not white. Wheels I can replace / paint dark grey so not worried there. Would like buckets but not essential.
Less than £95k, otherwise I will buy a new one.....
So stock in the UK (from audi / piston heads) that I like leaves me with:
Audi
OV14VWR £92k Black, 3k miles (2014) http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-ca ... c=se_na_re_
OV64DVC £89.5k, Sepang, 3.5k miles (2014) http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-ca ... c=se_na_re_
OE62NFF £80k, Daytona, 10k miles (2013) http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-ca ... c=se_na_re_
PH
<unknown> £90k, Matt Sepang, 5k miles (2014) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... ic/4847423
<unknown> £84k, Dark Blue?, 3k miles (2013) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... ro/5102877
<unknown> £95k, Sepang, 6.5k miles (2014) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... dr/3915431
Worried that all O?6???? end up being ex Audi experience cars. I hear what people say that maybe this is OK but having done many such experiences I would not want one of the cars, warrantied or otherwise, just my personal view.
My favourite from the above is the Matt Sepang but I hear it can be a bugger to live with.

Re: R8 v10 plus
The two Matt Sepang cars I've seen were hanging, really bad swirling. Correcting that would not be simple, as it cannot be polished in the conventional way.
Agreed re the Ox cars, I'd want to know their history.
