    So who is the lucky guy?

    Words got around lately that one lucky owner just scored a used Silver R8 for just under 70k. The car does come with quite a few miles but that's still the cheapest R8 you can possibly find anywhere. Hope he's an active member here to share the story + some pictures

    No idea, but I've never seen anything close to 70K, even with miles. I probably would have sold mine and bought that one had I saw it.

    It wasn't a private sell. I believe the dealer got this specfic R8 from auction. The guy told me the car came with just over 60k miles (yes, finally we found someone who used his car more than KfabR8 lol) and their asking price was 68k. No idea what the final price was but it seems pretty reasonable to me. Even 04 Bentley GT with 50k+ miles are still going strong at $60k +.

    Does anyone really want a R8 with 60k miles out of warranty?

    Still seems way too cheap. There had to be some sort of title issue if it sold for anything in the 60's....... or 70's for that matter.

    Why not? You can get it certified and buy an extended warranty for another 2/3 years and 40k miles.
