Thanks a lot for the feedback, I really appreciate it a lot!🤝 That’s is a great tip for sure, because it can save someone a lot of money haha Though I think importing, title chnage to another coutry etc. costs a bit too, but I don’t really know to be honest👀 (should still be cheaper anyways) I mean I kind of heard about £30k R8s in the UK, but haven’t looked deeper into them… I mean they are mostly right hand drive, right?🤔 And I also heard about general rust problems, because of the Sea salt in the UK… Do you know about that stuff by any chance?
@@MrPista For 50k euros, you will get a low mileage mint 2008-2009 pre facelift V8 version in the UK. The cheaper ones are all high mileage with many previous owners. I saw one for 28k with 17 previous owners. They will be all RHD as you say. The good thing is that if you do pay more for a low mileage minter in Germany or the UK, it will probably hold it's value in the future better. Audi's r8's don't rust because they are aluminium construction. You might get corrosion though if you get a scratch, probably not that likely still.
@@crouchingtiger9108 First of all, thanks a lot for all the info! I really apreciate it! I honestley didn't expect them to be that bad, but it's not suprising... Most of the owners on the highly used ones probably just gut them because they were affordable, kept them for a summer and sold them to the next person with the same plan. So milage and owner list rise damn quickly. I definitley agree with you, clean examples are most likely the smarter choice and should hold their value. But I genuenly think that if someone can find a half decent one for Like 30 or 40k, it might be worth buying and to maybe fix it up a little. As a little project. Dude, I literally mentioned the aluminium body in the video but forgot about it in that Comment haha. But I mean things like bolts/screws can still rust and be a real pain, when you try to get them out
@@MrPista I'm looking for one right now for around £40k. I'm still considering buying a Porsche Cayman R also though for the same price, as they are much rarer and probably a good investment also. I think I want the R8 more.
@@crouchingtiger9108 If you want the R8 more, it's what you should get. It kind makes sense to buy a car as an investment, but then you will feel bad when putting miles on it, for every tiny rockchip and stuff like that... I think you should get such a car to enjoy, love and drive it. Not to worry about it.
Good video, but if you really want one and dont wanna pay 50k euros, go to UK and buy one for under 30k pounds, about 34k euros
