Hi,

Anyone here with a handle on the R8 market currently, are they still trading at a premium? I'm close to pulling the trigger and trading up my RS4 cabriolet and am looking for any pointers or advice.

There seems to be quite a few cheap ones now, like:

There are a few about at retail

Beechwood have one at £93k - not sure of the spec, probably R-Tronic - Yuk!

What's the current thoughts on prices today ?

Looks like £80-£90k at dealers.

Coming down a tad, wouldn't like to be someone who paid a massive premium for one! I have to get myself into one at some point in a few years when they hit the £50K mark.

Any idea when they are going to add the R8 to the used car locator on audi.co.uk?

Dealers 'demo' cars coming up for sale next month - circa 30 cars into the market - impact on prices ?

Offered a manual mag ride silver for £75k - still too rich.....

Interesting thread :

any thoughts on where they'll be in a years time

will be getting rid of the 6 and would love to think i could afford an R8 . . .

The R8 has a 4.2 litre 420 bhp mid-mounted V8 engine which shoots it from 0-100 kmph in a scant 4.6 seconds and all the way up to a max speed of over 300 kmph. price tag is $ 1,09,000 MRP

I had a V10 for seven days, courtesy of Audi Press Office. I wrote the following review which appeared in the Independent Magazine last month.

Hi Alphamail

Having owned an R8 (V8), I am intrigued as to why Audi Press office would give you one for a week to write so little. Moreover, nothing particularly new, or even to compare it to the V8 version - that would have been interesting!

Hi Jon, Glad you liked it.

Surely the first paragraph explains everything?
