I bought a 2016 OG M2 6 weeks ago, probably paid too much but who cares. I looked for the best one I could afford, and found a 1 owner from new, 25,800 mile DCT £28,749. I don't buy cars to make money, I buy them to drive and enjoy.
Car prices maybe falling but it perplexes me as it’s swings & roundabouts you’re new car price is low however if you’ve got a px that’s also going to be low 🤷♂️
As a private seller you are very lucky these days as you are not at the mercy of the dealer when it comes to px prices, there are many ways to sell for more. Generally its believed that dealers take pxs reluctantly but that is not always true as there are cars they can stick straight on sale or sell on to trade and make money as well as turds nobody wants but the industry has always made it look like all pxs are taken reluctantly and that's come to bite them on the ass now. Generally the car you will be buying will be more money than your old one so you should gain in a depreciating market (which is how used car always used to be until 2021-2023).
There’re some great people at auto100 but the maintenance/prep into some vehicle is shocking! PLEASE check your discs! I’d seen a few instances where minimum thickness had been reached and the discs were skimmed to look presentable.
Nice car very nice spec. You don’t normally see bucket seats in a car like that. Nice to see glad you got your dream car not meany people get the opportunity to get what they want out of life. Never seen that many supercars under one roof. Criss Harris showed some stock on one of he’s VT it wasn’t touching that stock wow I don’t understand why no one has ever showed that place before. There insurance bill must be sky high. You wouldn’t want anything to happen in there the owner would be gutted 😭 nice video something different keep them coming well done for getting you dream car in theses tuff times 👏🏽🥂👊🏽👍🏽 .
I owned a gated V10 R8 and it was far too easy to outdrive its Quattro system and confuse the car. It must be driven with traction fully off 100% of the time to prevent it from braking on its own or diverting power at all the wrong times creating dangerous situations and even worse, preventing recoveries. VAG didn’t have this issue in less powerful manual Quattros but there’s a limit to that system. Still a phenomenal car, and a legendary gearbox but honestly I’d buy a V8 if you’re looking for the bolt action experience, and a Lambo if the V10 is what you’re after. Or, get the gated v10 and convert it to rwd only and fully disable tc.
Good feedback thanks. I can’t fund a V10s fuel bills and don’t get on with the manual, hence the S tronic V8. I don’t feel it’s a car that I’ll be pushing the limits of grip in very often especially on the road (GT4 is for the that), as it’s got a lot of grip and is big and wide but maybe I’ll get try it on track one day 👍
Keep up the good work on these films particularly the road trips into Europe in 2024. The Audi looks like it has the potential to be great fun. Thank you for the work you have posted for us in the last year. All the best Martin
Happy Christmas Andrew! Great to see you back in an R8. Says a lot about how good they are. I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of mine. Remember, an R8's for life, not just for Christmas... Looking forward to future content. Safe driving mate 👍
Would have to agree Andrew, Motoring Journalists seem to rave about manual Gear Boxes, however there is a comparison there with Rose Tinted spectacles, the reality is they are not that good. (In my opinion )
It's horses for courses in many ways with gearboxes but the key point with the gated manual is that it puts form in the way of function - drive a GT4 and you know how good they can be and don't want anything less.
I wouldn’t say the market has crashed 😂 just cars being sold at realistic prices again! Better for buyer, not so much sellers! Nice R8 though 😎👍🏻 Merry Christmas Andrew 🎄
Thanks Maverick. I chose my words carefully in the video as I agree it's not a crash yet (I said iver 20% and you could call it that and we aren't there yet...). In the title of the video again I avoided the word crash, collapse maybe over states it a little but I have to be succinct and it's still possible prices may go down further that where the are now. Bearing in mind the stability the used car market experienced for decades prior to 2020 (aside from a dip and bounce back in 2008/9), what's happening today is worth of coverage but I do hope it will be better in the New Year (as it was in 2009). 🤞🏻
Running costs have not (and will never) fall to affordable levels for vehicles such as these. Congratulations on your new purchase but the above always needs to be considered, especially if it’s on the premise of ‘cheaper’ motoring.
I'd say I30Ns are taking a bit of a hit right now, have a look with the price tracker and you will get an idea. If selling, the important thing to do is shop around trying different dealers/buyers are some are less clued up than others
Merry Christmas andrew, thanks for all the videos this year, keeping us going. My 2yr old son is also invested too and his first word car! Take care and have a great day andrew b
R8 looks amazing it's great for the new year ahead. I have a small amount of criticism, and I mean it earnestly. When you view your channel throughout there is lots of different cars. I suppose that adds variety and brings in a range of crowds. But, some of the content doesn't go deep or long enough -- or even follows a story arc. Not sure if what I have said make sense - but once again, I mean it genuinely.
Really? It's a Chrome extension rather than an App in the traditional sense, have you tried that? I can't check as I have to uninstall and if it's chargeable then I'm screwed. This is the link chromewebstore.google.com/detail/at-price-tracker/cbecfdegmcppmbpbffdpagongfpbohmd?hl=en-GB
Awesome new acquisition Andrew! Love that it's a convertible too! If I ever bought a convertible I'd have the top down all year round here in NE-US. I see so many convertibles with the top up in nice weather and it makes me wonder why they bought it in the first place! Cheers!
Not this example specifically necessarily, but is there still room to negotiate with dealers on price when you see recent reductions or are main dealers holding firm on the advertised price? I like to be astute as I can with finances in general, but I buy a car every 12 years or so, so hard to call on much experience (especially in these turbulent times).
Thanks D992! I don't think so, the chap behind it has commented on this video so hopefully will read your comments and reply. It's worth getting a non-Apple device for though, and with potential savings you can afford to!
Lovely car Andrew and the noise with the roof down will be epic I’m sure. Great shout out to Ricky too, his garage videos are a favourite of mine too. Jeez GT4 and R8 on the drive, that’s an impressive pair. All the best for 2024 and looking forward to seeing more of your content and no nonsense straight talk on cars, dealers and servicing. Cheers, Kevin.
Hi Andrew hope you and Kate have had a lovely Christmas so far and well done the R8 looks lovely looks great in that colour and nice to see the convertible as well will be a lovely addition to the fleet and look forward to see your adventures in it happy new year to you both Daniel
Excellent seasonal video and your car dealer/trading content is always enjoyable. The snippet at the end with the convertible roof knowingly epitomizes the British fixed-grin optimism about our manky weather 😅.
"I think the grey and grey looks a bit.... grey" lol very good. A semi-supercar for new golf money is a bit of a bargain, though of course they cost a lot more to run than a new golf!
Definitely change the wheels to silver, and maybe make it sound a bit more fruity,is what I'd do 🤙 best of luck in 2024 🤙 fantastic year of content you've created 👌
Clarkson comment brilliant. Hasn’t heard. Sorry so this isn’t R Tronic is it S Tronic. I could Wiki. My understanding is one is the DSG and the other ????? Enjoyed the VAG content dipped in out this year. Big Ups for getting back into the motor trade c.24
Thanks! Yes indeed, R tronic is automated manual so very slow and you need to lift between shifts ideally. S tronic is proper dsg twin clutch so cutting edge technology and super fast and smooth. In fact it’s weird hearing an old school v8 shift so fast 💨 It’s also got a sport mode which opens the valves and extends shift points, sounds great without being annoying
It's a win-win, I've had 5/6 personal cars, had more than 3 recent modern classics with early Automated Manuals / Robotic manual, and they're so slow and out of date they remind me of early Turbo boost. M140i Step also had, the XF-8 speed and that riffle bolts like a double clutch without being one. Fast boxes do make cars great!!!!@@volkswizard
Being offered just £17500 for my minted 68 plate 335d with only 39k miles and full BMWSH.Then i look at what they want for what they're selling and i just think 'nah'.No wonder the trade is in a mess.Folk aren't stupid.
Great car, congratulations. A bit of a left-field choice as a long haul GT, guess you are going to have to pack light but will be no doubt interesting to see. Best wishes for 2024.
Thank TeaVR! Yes the more I look at grey on grey the more I think we can do better. I have said in the past I'd never buy an Audi R8 again because the dealers are useless. Big difference now is they are so old that it makes no difference to the value and an RE Performance or APS history may even add value these days.
Congratulations, Andrew, beautiful car. I loved the White R8 its great you're back in one with a different spec, looking forward to finding out your thoughts. Happy 2024
Merry Xmas to you too sir ! Corrado is still sat in garage, it actually appeared in the GTD oil change video. Love it but it’s got to go so is on Autotrader for £9k
Thanks Kevin, same to you too. Auto100 are an interesting dealer that's for sure, no flashy showrooms to keep the overheads (and prices) low, makes a lot of sense.
Prices will still be falling for a while yet. Investors and dealers are desperate to minimise their losses, even RS Porsches are now feeling savage depreciation.
I suspect I am not alone in saying "Auto-Trader is my go to evening entertainment". I eagerly await prices bottoming out as I am looking to buy a luxo-barge.
Always look forward to your content Andy, thanks for a v entertaining 23 - hopefully enjoyable for you. Looking forward to 24, fingers crossed for more road trips…Europe in the new wagon? All the best.
I will, Ricky advised me on a potential issue with this car that meant I was confident enough to buy it. His buying guide video promoting passive dampers also helped a lot.
Great choice congrats! Welcome to the exclusive club of Spyders with buckets. It's still a 4 season car, you just get to roll around with the top up and rear window down. ;)
Thanks! TTRS Mk2 is a very good car, super durable and reliable, it's just hard to find one that hasn't been hammered. I had a Daytona grey, roadster with buckets and manual box BT10 TPV and drove it to Austria, it was so good. Just 1 boot but it's big and you can use hood well for coats. R8 Spyder is a good example of very poor packaging!

Merry Christmas Andy! Glad to be of assistance ;-) looking forward to some R8 content in the New Year!
Small world! That's a great little bit of intel, just hope the dealers don't object though in reality it's good for everyone.
@@volkswizard More deals get done at the end of the day. Everyone's a winner.
Using this to aid my next purchase, thanks to Andrew's video. Thanks for sharing.
I owned a gated V10 R8 and it was far too easy to outdrive its Quattro system and confuse the car. It must be driven with traction fully off 100% of the time to prevent it from braking on its own or diverting power at all the wrong times creating dangerous situations and even worse, preventing recoveries.

@@volkswizard I was able to pickup
my R8 back when they were half the price that they are now. A 718 Spyder now occupies that garage space.
I'm changing my magride next month in my mk2 TT for gas pressure. Genuine rear ones lasted 11k miles😑.
I have a gen 1 R8 and got them refurbished by a company in Poland. Would recommend that route.
@@michaelarwas8466 i heard of negangast but i will prefer gas shocks.
I really like the wheel colour and body colour combo 😍
Its the love of Car from the mechanical and feel of the drive that just keeps us involved in all things car

Nice, but to be honest, I'd prefer your friends RS TT. cheaper and more practical.

Running costs have not (and will never) fall to affordable levels for vehicles such as these.
Congratulations on your new purchase but the above always needs to be considered, especially if it’s on the premise of ‘cheaper’ motoring.
Absolutely, you've got to be a very wealthy person to own and run one .
That was unexpected! Congratulations mate! Definitely a better choice than the Boxter. Enjoy the new car and Happy Christmas!
Thanks! Glad you approve. It's weird as I loved the Boxster but R8 just seem so much....MORE..in every way! Have a good one 🎄

Did you sell the gt4 ?
No Ash, I mention it at the end of video. Hoping to get to South of France in Spring

red aston martin v8 for me v8

What's happening with the mk2 GTi?
Excellent seasonal video and your car dealer/trading content is always enjoyable. The snippet at the end with the convertible roof knowingly epitomizes the British fixed-grin optimism about our manky weather 😅.
Merry Christmas Andrew. Liking the new set of wheels and I'm sure lots of road trips planned in due course.
Nice car but had dealings with that dealership and not impressed
Looks nice geey wheels look better
If it drives more comfortable than the gts I can definitely understand the swap. Plus what a driveway you have until its sold.
"I think the grey and grey looks a bit.... grey" lol very good. A semi-supercar for new golf money is a bit of a bargain, though of course they cost a lot more to run than a new golf!
Congratulations. Another car I have also owned. We have similar tastes for sure. Merry Christmas 🎄

Not my choice IF I had the money, each to their own I guess. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR DREW.
As you were walking around the garage I didn't guess it would be an R8. I was thinking maybe RS3 or RS6. Nice choice mind. Enjoy.
Thanks! TBH an RS3 for £45k would make a lot of sense but there is something about these R8s that’s just so special 🎄
I’ve enjoyed your content this year, lovely R8. Glad to see a bit of market correction.
Great content Andrew, Best wishes.

Well done mate, your videos have helped me in 2023, enjoy the R8
Thanks mate, I really only do the videos to help people as they earn peanuts so that’s good to know 👍
Nice one Andrew 👍🏻
Wow, didn't expect that
I'll take that, thanks for watching and commenting :)
Overpriced money pits that will lose even more money.
You're living the dream! Just casually buying my dream car.

Hello very nice car and you have a merry Christmas 👍
Hello Paul, thanks very much, same to you and yours. Glad you like the car :)
One can never own too many AUDI/VW autos. Congrats.
Currently we have 3 autos (R8, TT, GTD) and 4 manuals (Corrado, Mk2, Clubsport S, GT4) all depends on the job they have to do :)
By autos I was meant VW and AUDI cars. Hope that you are having a good holiday.@@volkswizard
Should take it too re performance
I will, Ricky advised me on a potential issue with this car that meant I was confident enough to buy it. His buying guide video promoting passive dampers also helped a lot.
