It is with a reluctant and heavy heart that I am considering selling my '11 R8 V10 Spyder. The car is practically still new and without a single blemish. I ordered it in Suzuka Gray (special paint option), which IMHO is Audi's most gorgeous color. It's simply stunning. She's a manual and the mileage is just over 1K miles. The interior includes light gray leather seats with black dash/carpets. It has just about every option, including the full carbon interior package.

Why am I considering selling such an awesome car, you might ask? Simply put, I ordered a Ferrari 458 that arrived 3 months ahead of schedule, having just taken delivery last week. It's not a bad problem to have, but it does leave me with a difficult choice. As much as I'd love to have 2 of arguably the best sports cars on the road in my stable, my fiancee (I'm getting married in 2 months) is suggesting a 4 door performance-oriented sedan would be the more practical choice.

With that said, if you are interested in and would like to purchase my beloved R8, let's talk. Total cost out the door new was ~$183K, but I'm willing to make a realistic, mutually equitable deal. I'd like to get $166K for the car, which would save you $17K over new. Considering I've had it for under 6 months and have barely put over 1K miles on the odometer, I feel like this is a fair asking price. Throw in the rarity of Suzuka Gray (60-90 extra days to produce plus an additional cost) , and you've got a guaranteed head turner. I'd also be willing to consider possible trades for a 2010-2011 Audi S6 or Mercedes E63. If you have any questions, please feel free to ping me. The car is located in sunny Tampa, Florida. Thank you!

 

You're being very fair with your depreciation, I think. I'm not a potential buyer as I own an '11 Spyder myself but wish I were because yours is a very nice car and quite a deal. You should offer it for sale also on R8Talk.

I gave up my place on Ferrari of Tampa's waiting list for a 458 for delivery this summer when I fell in love with my Spyder. Although the 458 will run circles around the Spyder, there's something wonderful about the clack of the old school gated shifter, and the wonderful music form the exhausts, not to overlook the fact that the Italia isn't available as a Spider yet, so it was a no-brainer for me to get my R8.

Best of luck with your new acquisition and with the sale of your gorgeous Spyder!

Best of luck with the sale and congratulations on the upcoming wedding.

Pictures of the Ferrari please!

 

I shot you a PM - did you get it?

 

Beautiful car. I honestly think I'd rather have it than a 458. Spyder + 6-spd + V10 is about as close to perfect and you can get.

 

You are a fortunate man trading in this for a 458! GLWS!
