    What do you do for living?

    Hi R8 owners!

    I'm a 15 year old finnish boy dreaming of Audi R8..

    It costs 200,000 € , What do you guys do for living? Have you won a lottery ?

    It would be so great to buy the R8 when I'm grown up, but im not sure can I afford one.

    edit: another website said that R8 costs only 80,000-110,000€! :O what did you pay for yours?

    teme,

    Welcome to R8talk. It's very good that you have dreams. Even those of us lucky enough to drive the R8 still dream about it!

    It's not so much what WE do that matters. Instead, YOU need to choose something (anything) that YOU enjoy doing, learn everything you can about it, work hard (but enjoy your work), play wisely, treasure your family, treat others fairly and with respect, obey the laws of your country, and the day will come when you can not only afford but also enjoy your own R8.

    And, don't believe in those who promise shortcuts to your dreams. There is much risk and little satisfaction or reward along that path.

    Thanks desperado!

    That was a great post. I can only imagine how great it would feel if i had worked hard and was finally able to purchase R8 and drive it on the race track.

    I'm now getting good grades in school and i'm going to a excellent high school etc. I really have started working hard but if you are good at school that doesn't always mean instant money.

    I'm now just working hard and growing up and then see what i have become!

    All good words and it looks like you're already well on your way.. your command of the English language appears to be excellent!

    Use the Audi web site configurator application for prices. New cars in hte US are available for list price now. Pre-owned cars are just now starting to be sold for less that the owners paid MSRP.

    Don't ever give up! Dreams do come true!

    Re: What do you for living?

    Great advise from Desperado, same advise I gave(and continie) to give to my kids. I can’t afford all those fancy cars of my dream, but I enjoy looking at them , reading about them. The R8 will be the most I will be able to afford/spend on a car. But if you like, you can buy diecast model of the R8 for now. Kyosho makes a very good 1:18 scale diecast of the R8, you can find them on ebay easily. Do not buy the one from Maisto. Good luck.

    Audi sells three sizes of scale model of the R8 (four if you count the 1:1 size ). I have the 1:18 size of both the TT and the R8. They are very nice quality models, available in several color choices.

    You can see the R8 models at this link:
