Quick R8 Purchasing Question....

[R8-Skycap]

Hi all,

I went today to my local Audi dealership here to take a look at a "Not For Sale, Factory Owned R8." It was a regular Manual/Basic model and they quickly gave me a little tour of it since I had requested to actually see one. Oh! ya and since I was in a hurry....I totally forgot to ask them to start the engine to hear the vehicle.....

Anyway, I am trying to figure out what would be the best route to take so that I can aquire a Fully Loaded R-tronic R8? Most of the dealers everywhere are giving me the same answer, "Very Rare That They Come Around & Takes More Than A Year To Receive Your Own Custom R8."

Some dealerships want to charge me 170 grand (USD) for one. Now keep in mind I am in Los Angeles, California and not in some hill billy town lol.

My question to you all is.....What is the best way to get an R8 fast and not pay double the price for it either?

Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated......Thanks!

I apologize if this is a re-post in any way!

Fast and cheap don't go together just yet. What I recommend doing is getting on the list for now, and then offering some money to the guy whose comes next. Mine comes next week and a guy called my dealer and offered me 10K for it. I of course declined, but you never know.

There is "used" vehicle listed at MSRP in Jacksonville.

Sorry guys for being late in response to this but I have been very busy.

Thanks for the help....I called Houston, Tx and talked to some other dealers. Houston told me that they have 16 ppl on their list to order and once they open the orders they will call me......Am lookin at a 13 to 14 month wait period if I go with them. I am still trying to find someone that can get me one faster....but pref new and not used.

Any further info or tips then please let me know here... Thanks!
