Anyone want a cheap R8 ?

The original R8 is looking rather good these days, the same car that won all those group tests back in 2007.

And this example is a one owner V8 car with the open-gate manual box, (apparently) full Audi service history, and up for just £23k.

Surely there must be a catch, you say? Well, there are one or two issues, starting with the 180k miles on the clock...
But still, it's tempting.

That's 10 mins from me. I'm happy to test drive for you 😁

I’d rather pay ~£40k for a low-ish mileage one. Shouldn’t lose anything in value over time.

Which would have been £35k a few months ago :(

For that money, I’d take a Vantage with almost half the miles.

That’s not a price I ever expected a Vantage to get down to. Perfect pub landlord car.

I guess that’s marginally better than a drug dealer Audi :D

Never mind the R8, how's the RX-7?
