Recession car deals

[spikerS]

with 38,000kms on there, maybe i am out of touch with exotic pricing, but $200,000 USD? Seems kinda high to me...

Totally not the point, i look through the R8 vs performance sedan options too before buying an M5.

Oh wow. I swear I read the whole ad. Not sure how I missed the USD label. Yea, at that price it's nothing special, and actually kind of expensive. I figured if it was in Canadian pesos, it would have been reasonable.

RS7 is the most highly over rated car I have ever driven. I was so incredibly underwhelmed when I took it out that I was speechless. Especially with the $ amount it commands. V8 R8 is a POS too.

I’d just skip the rs7 and look for v10 r8s

Not a lot of selection in the market for V10's. I've been looking at them for a bit now, and the pickings are slim at any given time on Autotrader.

1978 Ferrari 308 GTS - Not sure if this is a deal but still interesting:

^That's so sick.

I'm a big Magnum PI fan, so possibly a little biased

Those 308s aren't that good, unfortunately.

They’re also not worth that much.

If you hunt you can find a Gallardo, R8 (v8), 360 modena, 355, 911 turbo, etc. for similar or less money and I think every one of those is a better car in every way (and every one of those will have half the km or less).

Considering well option'd 2017 C43 AMG sedans are $75K...that's a good deal.

I wanted one of these so bad.

But then, found the cost of doing the timing chain tensioner maintenance (which this one needs right now if it hasn't been done) - that pushes the cost of this to a $20k; combine that with the risk of the piston ring/sleeve issue where the engine randomly eats itself? So much nope.

Who puts the timing chain on the back of the engine...

Its funny that you talk about these and engine eating. My buddies is sitting at royal oak with metal shavings and sludge in the oil pan. Cost? 14K.

This will make my 3rd friend who has replaced an engine on one of these before 60k. Beautiful cars but engine design is bad news, they eat balancing shafts like no tomorrow.

The same company that puts four timing chains on the back of the engine.

I really like Audis. But from a mechanical quality perspective, they are historically pretty bad.
