    Buying an R8 on Saturday, Anything I Should Look For?

    I'm test driving a used 2009 R8 (1,300 miles) on Saturday, and if everything goes well I will be purchasing it. Is there anything specifcally I should look/listen for while test driving that would show the car has something wrong with it? Thanks!

    Agree to the price BEFORE you drive it, or all your negotiating power will vanish after you drive the car

    Try and have a dealer run the VIN first. You can find out alot about what has happened with the car, even if there was damage during the delivery process

    The test drive went well, and I purchased the car today. It's an amazing machine, and the attention it brings is absolutely ridiculous. I put about 80 miles on it driving it around town and to friend's houses today. I had about 5 conversations with people that stopped me at red lights, and a lot of thumbs ups and smiles. I'll post pics in a new thread once I take a few. The car is a manual and it's optioned out minus the alcantara headliner and the leather dash.
