Just got the call, my 2009 Red R8 will be here in December....

[s4play]

I won't be able to keep the car so will be putting it up on Ebay once I receive it so if anyone wants it, just PM me and I promise a fair deal for both of us.

This will be a private sale from my Chicago home with title in hand.

Options:

009 R8 4.2 Coupe 2-DR, 6-SPD Quattro
Ibis White Exterior with Black Interior
6H3 (Carbon Sigma Sideblade)
6W9 (Front Plate Filler Panel)
996 Gas Guzzer Tax
9VK (Bang & Olufsen Sound System)
PL3 (Enhanced Fine Nappa Leather Pkg.)
PND (Audi DVD Navigation Plus)


thanks

a 2004 nsx is keeping you from buying an R8. you dont sound like you were ever serious about keeping it. that's not even a comparision. just be honest and say you want to flip it and make some money. at least no one will speculate on your motives, we understand this is a rare opp if the market premium holds

R8 is better than the NSX is every respect.

park the NSX on the street and let it rot. If you can afford and R8 you can afford letting the NSX rot but if you are buying it to make some money then be honest and I will wish you the best of luck.

Honestly, if we were in 1998 I may have considered an NSX but it's in the POS category in this world.

+1000 I think you nailed it on the head, ky. It seems that S4Play is a well known poser on many, many forums. Google him on any car forum and his controversial threads show up everywhere.

no offense to owners of said cars, but an E46, S2000 and an NSX keeping an R8 owner to be from enjoying it. don't think so.

if the garage had an E60 M5 or E92 M3, a Z06, 996/997, then I would think we were stepping up to the next best ride, but it's not normal to go from a $25k car to one 5x the price. ;-)

not sure what the deal was with the GT3 but it didn't last long (assuming it was his vs a friend/family member's)

I will add though that my cousin went from a 75 pinto to a 91 stealth r/t turbo in 91 so anything is possible. :-P

[imclueless]

I went from a Mazda MX5 to the R8

I'm guessing he's trying to flip the R8, but not want his dealer to know about it, which was why he didn't release the dealer's info when asked by a potential buyer. There's a thread on 6speed about him trying to sell for $15k over.

[Gr8R8]

Yeah, sure. If only I hadn't found my dream '08 Mini Cooper S, or else I would have bought that Reventon!

Hyundai Sonata is sitting besides my r8. the car r8 replaced was a lexus rx, approx 3x the price... I also have considered selling the r8 (to make way for the baby and the garage doesn't fit 3 cars).

What I am not, is to claim that i will prefer a POS NSX than a r8.
