Let's not get carried away. It's a pre-owned Audi.
You ain't kidding.....I have a friend with a 2013 Audi R8 GT. Pretty amazing vehicle. Love the combo of AWD and midengine.
I thought you had a lotus?Let's not get carried away. It's a pre-owned Audi.
Is Fidelity who you are looking at?
I thought you had a lotus?
A Lotus, a Cayman GT4 and now an Audi R8.....this dude changes out exotic sportscars like the rest of us change our shoes....I thought you had a lotus?
The brass has disc brakes, thank you very muchJust yanking your chain. I knew that "the Brass" didn't have brake shoes on his rotors. ;)
If it doesn't feel right don't do it....If it does drive the wheels off that bad ass mofo ;)I don't have enough ways to describe how effed up these trade negotiations have gotten. I'll follow up in due time.
Re warranty plans, I'm finding Carchex has cornered the market by buying out a number of companies including Fidelity, and yet I get better quotes from Fidelity. BTW, these warranty people are rapidly becoming infamous for giving out erroneous information on what is covered and what is not. I have a lot to say on the subject.
The Audi parts guy who said you can't replace just the clutch plates in the R Tronic didn't know what he was talking about. You can and at a fraction of the cost. I've been fed misinformation left and right.
Not what I want to wanted to hear but it isn't surprising with how the industry works.@ G2: Turns out Fidelity is now a Carchex company and underwrites through Royal, so you're getting essentially the same coverage and cost as Carchex or Warranty Group.
The industry has gone through a consolidation.
Don't pretend like you can't afford it.The NSX is a great car and priced thusly at 191k.
Don't feel bad I had to correct the service advisor at the dealership when I went in last week for my airbag recall. I told him that the oil level was high because the dipsh!ts where I bought the car put in 8 quarts when the 5.4 in the car only takes 7 plus it was the wrong oil. He told me I didn't need an oil change after only a few hundreds miles....I said change the oil! When he called me to pay the ticket he sheepishly said "you were right about the oil", 7 quarts and different oil for a supercharged 5.4......Forums will be you're best source of truth on a specific car like this, believe it or not.The Audi parts guy who said you can't replace just the clutch plates in the R Tronic didn't know what he was talking about. You can and at a fraction of the cost. I've been fed misinformation left and right.
Audi manufactures vehicles in seven plants around the world, some of which are shared with other VW Group marques[40]although many sub-assemblies such as engines and transmissions are manufactured within other Volkswagen Group plants.
Glorified Volkswagen.....
Seems I heard that the R8 is built almost the same as the Lambo Huracan as far as chassis goes? If so what other similar pieces do they share, engine, tranny?Coincidentally, out of that same glorified VW scrap heap comes Lamborghini and Porsche.
You know what they say about buying buying the most expensive home on the block.
