Weekend car???

[Fatneck73]

I've a C6 which is an awesome car.....but, it doesn't feel very 'weekend car'. I don't use it daily (only 33k on the clock). So am considering a Rs4 vert or maybe an early R8.

Anyone had both? Would be interested in your thoughts.....

I've had x2 B7 verts and picking up my 5th R8 on Monday.

Early R8 FTW.

But finding a good one for a good price is tricky

Go V10

Would love a v10 but out of my price range...would prefer the 4vert but as you put on other thread, finding one that isn't black seems the challenge!

Chemlsford Audi just advertised a V8 R8 mugello blue black leather and CF interior for £41,850.
Good value from an Audi dealer.

I agree sounds like a good price, still around 50% of list price when new 7 years ago, pretty impressive residual.

Yep...R8 residuals are nuts.

My black V10 spyder I bought for £65k last September is up for sale at a trader for £69k.

This V8 from Chemlsford Audi wouldn't depreciate at all if you ran it for 6months.

Slightly higher on the miles at 58k but Audi warranty should keep you safe.

Wouldn't the vert be a bit wallowy for a weekend car? Something more focused surely? The R8 would be awesome if it's within reach, if not then a Boxster / Cayman would be a great car.

yeah the vert is a plate of jelly

[Fatneck73]

Yeah but different drive - top down, just chilling. Got bikes for going fast.

I'd say go for a Boxster mate. They are so nimble and the steering feedback is simply amazing. I had a 987 Boxster for 3 months and it was fantastic, just not practice enough for me in the long run. Different story altogether as a second car though.
