Re: R8 v10 plus
Exactly this. Get it checked properly, use the fact it's an ex-Audi car as nego leverage, and make sure they give you a proper warrantyHYFR wrote:manual ftw

Things like show cars probably get looked after better than any private cars anyway

They all have better cars to drive, so the Audi cars get dumped in a car park at the training ground and wheeled out for press eventsdoodlebug wrote:Aye, but a car used by players at Chelsea?!!

R8 v10 plus
For the most part I agree, but you can guarantee the R8 will have had a beating.
Still, worth a look.
I'd reckon most if not all the manual pluses are AUK, can't be many customers ordering manual.

Re: R8 v10 plus
I agree. Manual would be the way to go for me but I do too much driving into London at rush hour so that would be a major pain in the b4lls.
An S-tronic is great, I have driven several and loved each one. But I just won't buy a ragged one, too many minor irritating faults develop IMHO. Engine / Gearbox esp on the S-Tronic are quite bullet proof but not the same on the rest.
I too will keep looking into the new year...
Merry Christmas!

Re: R8 v10 plus
What concerns me is the loan car aspect - you have to assume it's been thrashed from cold. Sure, it will have 2 years factory warranty...but...I may go and have a look after xmas if it's still available.
In the meantime, DTD are quoting 81k for this 94k RS6 PE for delivery in April: nardo, assistance pack, parking advanced, pano, hud, drc, advanced key, red brake calipers....

Current 2015 911.1 GTS, Carmine, PDK, interior pack, stunning. The car I've always wanted. Makes me smile, just thinking about it.
Gone 2016 Carmine Cayman GTS, PDK + toys, 2015 RS5 Cab (Panther, most of the toys - except straigtheners), 2012 Discovery 4 family wagon, 2014 Golf R (Loaded, total sh!te), 2015 Cayman GTS, PDK and stuff, 2014 RS4, Sepang with most of the toys, SQ5, S4 lots of other cars - nothing of interest to be honest.

Re: R8 v10 plus
So - hate to drag us all back to R8's, but...
I have to choose between a Jan 2013 car with 2,500 miles for £82k and an Oct 2014 car with 2,500 miles for £92k.
One is the perfect Estoril Blue with cruise/camera no buckets. One is Black with buckets no camera/cruise.
I would prefer a younger car but really love Estoril Blue.
But I also have to think about value in 12 months when I am bored and can pick up the new model with 3,000 miles for £120k rather than £150k.
Both have good history and obviously I would prefer buckets
But £10k for buckets is a lot.
Any advice appreciated including on future values. I will pay cash so finance GFVs not a concern.
TIA!

Re: R8 v10 plus
.....has colour matching issues which is why it was dropped. Eyeball every panel, especially the plastics, inc door handles.
Re: R8 v10 plus
Both cars are a long way away from me so I would have to buy unseen and undriven.....
Maybe not such a good idea!
Were there any spec changes in model year 2014/2015; i.e. anything included as standard in the 2014 car which wasn't in the 2013 car?
I guess the LED headlights, Bluetooth etc were all standard on both? Struggling to find the old brochures online to compare.
Thanks for replies!

Re: R8 v10 plus

Re: R8 v10 plus
