    Unhappy Goodbye - it has been great

    After 11 months and 19,275 miles I have sold the R8. It has been a complete joy to own and feel sad to see it go.

    However I have had to sell before it is worth less than my Polo and I need to put aside a nest egg in case of any future change of circumstances!

    Best wishes to you all and Kreseo glad to see you got your car!

    What price did you get for your car? Did you sell back to the dealer or a private party? What part of the world are you located?

    What was the price, if you don't mind me asking. I'm in the US, so the market is a bit different, but I've got 9K miles on mine.

    Ian,

    Might I ask the same question ??? (send me a PM if you prefer)

    The dealer price I have been offered for mine at 9K miles is £53K, which is crazy. I will try to sell it privately, but any guide figure you got for yours would be mch appreciated. Also, did you sell it prvately (how ?) or to a dealer ?

    It has been good to have you on the forum.

    Good luck for the future and happy motoring !!
