I was checking out Inskip in RI and noticed a r8 5.2 6 sp for sale at MSRP.

I thought these cars were hard to get?

Do dealers through out the country have the 5.2's.

My local dealer said there is a long waiting list for these cars.

What gives? I would like to drive one and possibly trade in the TT.

There was a 6speed Audi R8 V10 silver/blk for around 8k off MSRP on ebay with just a few hundred miles on it a few days ago, not sure if it is still available. Dealer allocations are small but if you look hard you can find them and possibly get a small discount. I had the same thought on trading my 997TT for a Audi R8 V10 but the TT with the mods I have done is just so hard to beat. Anyhow good luck with your search, the Audi R8 V10 is an amazing car indeed.

 

R8 V10 Amazing car.. You wont miss your turbo!

 

I am in FL and the car in RI.

If it was just a tad closer I d run up and drive it and prob buy it.

It has 180 miles on it.. they've let four potential customers drive it unfort..

I really want to drive it and see how it feels.

I made them an offer,, sent pics in with the VIN of the P car.

lets see what happens.

they would deliver the audi and take back the TT on a covered carrier.

the deal is in their hands.

I leave in a week for a months' caribbean cruise so time is of the essence. But it may be still sitting there in Feb, who knows.

Well Cabman...if you need someone to pick up the R8 and drive it down to Florida...I'm your man!!! lol

 

Perhaps you can find flights into BOS, rent a car and make the hour drive to Inskip. You can get this done in 1 day. That way, you'll have the opportunity to drive the car and check everything out first hand - if your are apprehensive about buying the car sight unseen.

Alternatively, try finding a local dealer with similar R8 in stock. BTW, The Collection in Miami has a 5.2 (auto) and a 4.2 (man)... if you can't find a car more local to you to test drive.

 

Was at Inskip this weekend taking a look at this R8. Looks very good in black. Thought I saw only 51 miles on the odo?

Had the same thought of trading in the Turbo for the R8. Which sales guy are you dealing with?

 

I talked with Mike at length about the car. He said approx 180 miles.

I want a print out of the ECU to see if the test drivers exceeded the break-in RPMs,

I hate when someone abuses a new car and thats why I normally order my P cars.

I want to drive a 6 sp V10, not an auto or an 8 cyl.

The black one looks HOT to me in the pictures.

If its meant to be I ll have it but I am out of here in less than a week for 25 days so we shall see.

Thanks for the info

I have the same attitude about cars. Enjoy the cruise.

 

42 R8 V10 on Autotrader as of last week. There are cars all over the country. I think they are hard sells today.

 

good luck with that....i must say they are sharp looking cars....

 

It's a great looking car. Ran across one at a local audi dealer. It was listed at $2k under MSRP. Amazing it's still on the lot.
