Mad in buying an R8 ...i presume you mean ?

Have you experienced Audi service? Buying a 140k car from Audi is madness. You'll be treated/managed as if it were an A1.

That's before the latest emissions fiasco. Ze Gernans are now testing every car in the range. I definitely wouldn't be parting with my cash until that's sorted.

911s have a history of retaining value as Porsche are far stricter over supply. The same folk would be saying the same over any new car. There's those who don't like the turbo direction, but that's here to stay and I personally like what I see. 991.2 is next on my list.

It's a car, a new car, it will depreciate whoever' badge is on the front.

Daytona/black side blades/ black leather.

Ara blue is a nice colour though.

Other option could be a 991 GT3 for similar money, depends what you're going to use it for?

R8's have held their value pretty well if you look at the numbers, easily comparable to an equivalent 997.
