Hello there, up for sale is my 2010 5.2 V10 Gated Manual coupe in Stunning Sepang Blue (This car is NOT a manual conversion). It currently has 49,6XX miles on it (will go up as I still drive it to some local car meets and for grocery shopping lol) The car is in overall Great shape and has been a worry free car for me during my 1 year of ownership. I am pretty anal about my cars and have done a bunch of preventative maintenance, many small things that didn't need done yet but I like to have a clean slate and I don't like to wait for things to fail. I do most of my work myself (been wrenching for 20+ years and have owned a Gallardo previously that I did a ton of work on) but I did have Audi of Wesley Chapel do the first round of services when I bought the car and had their R8 tech inspect it, they gave it a clean bill of health at that time. Below is a list of all work done on the car.


Services done by Wesley Chapel Audi in November 2023

Oil change, Coolant Flush, Brake fluid flush, and an alignment because I adjusted the ride height as the car sat a little too low for my liking when I bought it (Had/has KW Coil overs).


Services/things done by me

Battery and Air filters Replaced for good measure when I first got the car (October 2023)

Oil Change (Castrol Edge Euro 5w40, all 7 drain plugs drained, all crush washers replaced and drain plugs too if they didn't look perfect) (September 2024)

Transmission fluid changed (Redline MT-LV) (September 2024)

Front Differential Fluid (OE Audi fluid used) (September 2024)

Serpentine belt (old one was fine but did it for good measure while it was on my lift) (September 2024)

Transmission shift linkage replaced and shift linkage adjustment done (common for the linkage to wear out, there was a small amount of slop out of the shifter, now gone) (September 2024)

NGK Spark plugs and all 10 Bosch Coil packs replaced (the car was due for plugs soon time wise so I did the coils too as they were original) (September 2024)

Headliner repaired as it was sagging when I purchased the car (I had used this shop before on my Gallardo, they did an amazing job and were able to re use the original material so there are no issues with a color mismatch) (July 2024)

New OEM Windshield (windshield has to come out to do the headliner easily so did this at the same time as the Headliner) (July 2024)

VF Engineering Tune (I have not flash tuned the car but I have the tune file and the cable etc, the new owner can flash it if they decide to, I decided not to since I am going to sell the car, and maybe the new owner wants it left stock)

Avior Performance Exhaust, sounds amazing but also no drone and is not super loud when driving normal. (have original exhaust as well) (May 2024)

Engine Bonnet lift supports replaced, they still worked fine but better safe than sorry. (May 2024)

Also I just had paid to have the car professionally detailed, polished, and a 5 year ceramic coating applied. It looks stunning! (September 2024)

+ im sure there are other small things im forgetting which I may add here later.

The car is an absolute joy to drive, runs and shifts great drives super tight, clutch is strong (I have no records of replacement so im unsure if its been done or not), A/C is ICE cold (A/C pump was replaced by a previous owner) It has KW coil overs on it so no issues with Mag ride leaking, (the previous owner paid a shop to replace them in 2021~2022 because the factory shocks were leaking) all services are up to date and the car needs nothing but to keep being driven, everything works as it should and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. Yes the car came with the factory frame supports welded in (see pics in the link below, this is a 5/2010 Production date car). The Michelin pilot super sport tires measure 8-9 32nds in the front and 7-8 32nds in the rear. The Factory Wheels are in Near Mint shape as well. The car is in Great shape for the mileage/age but as we all know, no used car is perfect, so below is a list of all known imperfections.

The seats have some wear but I would say a normal amount of wear for the mileage, but there are also a few surface level scratches on the driver seat bottom that could be fixed at an upholstery repair shop for cheap but I decided to leave them alone (see pics on the link below) there are some rock chips on the front bumper and hood (there is no clear bra/PPF on this car) The front bumper has scuffs on the underside lip (cant see unless down on the ground or under the car) The door panels have the common R8/Gallardo issue where the leather detaches from its backing foam making them look a little wavy (see pics), and Slight wear on the driver side floor mat.

Title and Carfax are clean, no liens on the car (Carfax is in the google drive link below) There are a bunch of services on there including valve cover gaskets in 2018 and in general shows consistent maintenance its whole life. I am the 5th owner of the car according to the Carfax, it has lived in Florida and Texas so there is no corrosion on this car and there are no fluid leaks I could find (many undercarriage pics in the link below). Some of the exterior photos were taken right after the detail/ceramic coating so please mind the flash rust film on the rotors due to the car just being washed, There are some photos also after the car got driven as well.

Any Questions feel free to ask, sorry for the long post but I wanted to be thorough. PPI's are welcome, no trades no joy rides no scams please lol. Also why am I selling it? Good question, I prob will regret it later just like when i sold my Gallardo after it was fully sorted, but I am looking to maybe get into a Diablo and could use $$$ from this to make that happen.

The car is Located in Wesley Chapel, Florida

Asking price = $110,000



Link Below to more photos and the carfax, I can only upload 10 in the post. (can take more upon request)

Late model 2010's had the brackets installed from the factory, but not all 2010's. I believe all chassis with a 5/10 production date, or maybe even 4/10 had them and only "some" before that. At least thats what I read on the forum here.

You should put it on BaT ....I think it would fetch more than your asking price with the right timing

GLWTS
Good morning! I do watch all the auctions on BAT/cars and bids, even the less desirable color gated swaps with dirty carfaxes have pulled 95kish just recently so yes I think my car would sell pretty close to what im asking here +/-. I haven't listed it anywhere else other than here for now as im not trying to push it out the door on a fire sale, I still love this car, picked up my groceries yesterday in it :) lol.

I know im going to miss the car and considering how rare they are in Sepang blue (this is 1 of 5 Gated V10 Coupes in Sepang Blue sold in the US in 2010 with black interior according to Audi) and I assume most had black interior. So its safe to say maybe 50 total Gated V10 Coupes exist in Sepang blue shipped to the US across all years?

I do know that the auction path is the best path to sell it quickly, and I prob will go that route if I don't find a buyer here first in the next few weeks. (I need to make some driving videos etc and be able to interact in the auction comments quickly to give it a fair shot, and im kinda busy so I don't have time right now to properly prepare/interact in an auction) I have had a few people message me on it already, timing was off with one Gentleman who was interested, as I was out of town but I am back now if anyone wants to come check it out just let me know!

also I am flexible to some extent as well on price.

Bump, price dropped to $110,000. I just finally got around to listing it on a few FB groups today, if it doesnt sell soon ill send her to auction I guess and see what she brings, if anyone else is interested feel free to PM me. Had a few bites here on the forum but she is still here (helps if I list it other than where just current r8 owners are hanging out I know haha)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Surprised this hasn't sold yet! My Sepang gated V10 gets so many looks and I have had individuals approach me with offers to buy the car(for more than OP's asking price). GLWS!

Sepang does indeed get a lot of attention, it truly is an amazing color that pics don't do justice for. The market is a little on the soft side for cars at the moment I believe that's why it hasn't sold, plus I Just listed it on marketplace less than a week ago, which I have had a lot of contacts and interested parties. I think it will go if I'm patient at this price, however it is most likely cars and bids bound if it doesn't move in the next 2-3 weeks.

O and @InfraredGradient I love the sticker on your rear quarter glass haha, awesome! Clean car I like your mod list, clean setup!

Thanks man! Gotta show my pride in driving a supercar with a gated manual!

Honestly, I would hold out for your $110k asking price. Its worth every penny. I think some potential buyers are lowballing because it lacks the carbon fiber sigma sideblades and interior, but thats an easy fix with aftermarket parts.

Honestly I havent had anyone lowballing me (I also wanted carbon blades initially but the blue blades are pretty sick too) and since they are dark they almost trick you into thinking they are carbon in some angles, they also have quite a bit of metallic in them so they sparkle pretty nicely in the sun , i have been getting quite a bit of interest now and i think i do have it priced properly. I think it has a good chance to move in the coming month +/- I also think it will pull around my asking price at auction so im not too scared to send it there as well. Well see what happens. I do have a couple of what seems to be serious buyers right now that are interested.

Thanks, yes congrats to the buyer, I am sad its gone but the good news is I believe if/when he decides to sell it, he will contact me first :) Now I can start my hunt for a Diablo or another non automotive investment. I will say I think other than selling my TT 6 speed supra way back in the day, this one will be #2 on the list of cars I will miss, my gallardo would be #3 on the list (cant beat that sound of the pre lp 5.0)
