awesome, channel. I have two Audi R8s. 08&11.
Oh boy both coupe? How are they treating you?
V8 and v10?
Really helpful video thank you! Would love to get one of these early next year. That manual gearbox 🤤
So why are you watching this? 😏Teasing yourself before you prepare to make the plunge one day? Now you will be prepared 😎
I'm here to just drool at the shots 😅
The prices of the mk1 v8 have dropped by about 30% over the last year in the UK. Unfortunately the cost of credit has gone from about 2% interest to 10%
Awesome video, mate. Love your R8 content. Please keep up your amazingly informative work.
Thanks my man :) 🙏
Awesome car! Great tips.
Awesome video... Great info for all R8 owners...
Thanks Harrison:)
Glad you drive your R8 no point in owning a great car stored away.
Definitely. Life is too short to do that to this beautiful machine.
Love the video. I watched your channel before picking up a 2011 Audi R8 V10 R8 R Tronic. I also went with BC racing coilovers. Great stuff!
Thanks for continuing to follow along and I hope some of the videos were helpful and picking your car up :)
@@carswithsonduren oh 100% super helpful. Thanks for the great work.
great vid
regarding the ac problem. sounds like the same problem with 2nd gen crvs with the ac unit sitting low on the engine on the hot side. Solution-piston from scroll type ac unit and a deslugger.
Sonduren! Fellow Canadian here, you can find ethenol free fuel at any marina gas station as well as certain commercial fillup stations. It may be impractical but some people own a small gas tank trailer that they'll fill up a couple times a year. Another option is having a tank at your house and getting the fuel delivered. Hope this helps. Cheers!
I’ll definitely look into this. I had no idea that they could do fuel delivery. I’ll also look at commercial filling stations nearby. Thanks man!
Just saw a black R8 following an LC 500 yesterday here in San Diego. Beautiful cars!
Beautiful cars in the most beautiful city we have ever visited! It’s a dream for me to one day live in San Diego
Great content as always, thank you. Also if you were at YYZ airport on Sept 4th, then I saw you :) (was a bit far away though)
I was hahaha you should have said hi :)
@@carswithsonduren oh Nice. You looked like you were in a hurry, so din wana bother you :) May be we can meet up at some car show sometime somewhere in Toronto etc, :) Thank you
@behelpful1546 that’s because they lost my luggage I was freaking out 😂
Oh no...hope you found the luggage finally sir!
@behelpful1546 I did at the end haha thanks :)
So what is the total cost of maintenance for 5 years? And what was mileage when you bought it and now?
Trying to pick one up next season.
V8? V10? What spec you ideally looking for?
Leaning towards a 2012 V8. I have a bike so my performance needs are taken care of lol
Ethanol filter. Had one on my ctsv
quite frankly, im glad you made this video but this video has also caused some serious concerns in my decision. Having a cracked front frame, failing AC or clogged valves all seem like major jobs and its going cost a lot with it being an R8.
cost of one in my country is about 250k for a used V8 version and our currency conversion is 1:1 CAD...
would it be cheaper to find maintenance on front mounted V8s like the bmw M3 or Maserati Granturismo?.. hmm..
Thank you. Definitely things to be aware of because obviously the costs in your country are quite a bit higher.
How reliable is the automatic transmission? Looking at a 2014
Very reliable. No major concerns.
How many kms are on the r8 now?
About 60k kilometres now
