Needs a zero to the right. I saw a great review of the R8, it said the R8's third gear is magical, it goes from crawling up to 'a lengthy ban' ;-)

Yap, the long option list... I was surprised they did not charge extra for the seat belts ; }

My dealer wanted to charge extra for the air in the cabin....

Dealer makes £9K on a R8

Soo my business partner says, he sold my car to me.

circa 10% sounds pretty fair to me given the aftersales expectations and operating costs.

Yeah, I got £70k for the Maser GTS from a Ferrari dealer down south and he has put it up at £80k, suppose it’s fair due to operating costs, margin for dealing etc etc.

However, as it was a £90k car new and I got a £14k discount ( dealers on their knees Jan this year ) I think I did well, only problem is a wrote it down on the books so I am looking at a taxable gain now, oh well, I think a bit of creative accounting next time as I hope to not lose too much on the Spyder, probably sell after 6 to 9 Months while they are still in demand.
