Glass's valuation of my R8

[Conker]

I have had to obtain the Glass's (UK Dealer Bible) valuation of my car for my business accounting :-

Sep' 2008 manual with the usual extras - Mag ride, B&O , Advanced Parking , electric seats , cruise , lighting pack etc .New £88K

Trade in - excellent.........................£65501
Trade in - average..........................£58500
Trade in - below average..................£52000
Dealer Retail...................................£72250
Private Sale....................................£64751


No surprises for me - approx' what I expected !

wonder if any one here know what the US numbers might look like....

I would guess US actual sale numbers would be a little higher....but I don't know if many "actual sales" of used R8s are happening! That "dealer retail" of 72250 converts to $106,208 @ todays $1.47 Pound. Most of the good, low miles dealer cars I've seen are asking around $115k. My local dealer has an '08 that's an Audi Certified Pre-Owned
in extremely clean, like new cond. (sorry, don't know the miles, but they're low) for $117 asking. But keep in mind that the R8 was cheaper and more available much earlier in the UK. Also, there's a lot of tax in that figure, isn't there? Not sure if that actually makes a difference or not?
