Yup. 2 local used R8s sold for ~$160k. Crazy.

Default ...dealerships having trouble overcharging for new ones so... they buy them, title them, and

charge the premium after the fact. Should be a crime, AudiAG and AoA worked hard to keep the pricing in-line for the enthusiasts that can't swing an Italian make(or want something German). In retrospect they should have just stickered them for what the market would allow and keep the money at Audi vs a bunch of leaches(private, for profit, purchasers as well).

Personally I don't think they're worth that price. I love it and all but for that $..? Nope.

That is crazy, so the v10s are going to be worth 200K? &lt;LOL&gt; Stupid if you ask me.

Default Apparently AoA is holding out on releasing the V10 until the demand slows for the V8

I'm sure there will be a significant price drop in their resale values once the V10's are released.

Default Niether am I but my pops was considering one. He is getting out of drag racing outboard boats and

wants a hot car now.

Here are a few crappy shots of some of our boats:

My Dad has won most of the events in our area but he's getting old. We had two roll overs in the past two years and they are scary and dangerous. The boat in the first pic does the qtr. in 9.2-9.4 range@~135mph. The second boat we are keeping as the cruiser and it's good for a high 10 in the Qtr@~120+mph and the last pic of the all white boat never was finished. It is one of 5 in the world and the hull only weighs 450lbs (carbon kevlar) and the motor for it was 650hp. It should have taken us into the 8s.
