I Bought A DESTROYED Audi R8 From Salvage Auction

- The Audi R8 is a fantastic super car. While having daily drivable features, it certainly goes like a super car when you want it to. The Audi R8 highest trim packages come equipped with a monster v10 engine. Capable of producing massive horsepower numbers when twin turbos are added. The Audi R8 also comes with a massive price tag to purchase. Which left us wondering, how much are the parts worth?
Luckily we know just the place to look. Copart salvage auctions. This particular Audi R8 came from the Chicago area with massive amounts of damage. Far too much to consider rebuilding. Which made this Audi R8 the perfect candidate to salvage as many parts as possible from. Join us as we tear down this Audi R8 and find out just where the value lies!

I dont think you've realized it, but what you scrapped was aluminium. It scraps for about 3 cents more than steel. You're welcome.
He said that within the first 2 minutes 😂

Very interesting and well considered content editing and presentation . Good to see the 'nitty gritty' of dismantling and the care in reselling . Thanks lads !
Nothing wrong with buying a variety of different salvage finds. They are way cheaper than actually buying the car, but many people aren't ready for the journey it takes to get these back to their original state. Me personally, I would buy an old muscle car salvaged, but I definitely would be prepared for the process of putting back together to keep it for myself. 😂
I just love seeing things come apart and see the engineering involved to creating all the various cars 🤘🏼
I’ve been catching up on the last 6 months of your videos.
I can see why your subscribers have more than doubled since then.
Keep up the great work.
As a eBay motors parts reseller.. always a big inspiration watching you guys! One day I want to upgrade to a warehouse and part out cars of that nature as well.. keep it up fellas and big baller category is interesting to watch
Love seeing the high end exotics, but like many have said, the variety makes the channel super interesting. Keep up the great work
I enjoy watching the more exotic builds, but I also enjoy the mid-level builds. I think it’s more your guises personalities in the way you conduct your business. That’s entertaining to me, so keep up the good work. 👏👏👏
As a retired Dealership Porsche Premier/Audi tech as far back as when Audis were basically junk & the 100LS was top of the line (I was 99% a Porsche tech) so it pains me to say that the R8 V/10 is quicker & faster than ALMOST any 911 or Cayman variant.
Nothing wrong with some high-end cars. Nice break in between the camaro's, corvettes, and jukes 😆.(we do need some more of the smoked series tho). Plus, who doesn't like a nice porche or two. I think y'all have a good variety of car content.
I like the more practical cars but don’t mind a fancy one every so often. It’s good to have inventory that outher people don’t have it keeps the shop growing.
I was teeing up on the back 9 when my phone alerted me to this video, I literally stopped mid stroke and walked off the tee box to watch this! Great video, love the Juke, and I was kidding about golf, golf is terrible.
Interesting vid fellas, nice to see subscriber numbers climbing, rightly so too 👌🏻😎 More Porsche is always gonna be the ‘Right cuppa tea’ 😂
Fantastic vid as always gents. Poor R8 :(
Regarding the purple Porsche that was painted - any update video coming on that or was it wrapped up already? I saw the last video but nothing after that.
Very interesting seeing the breakdown of a destroyed high end car. I just don't understand how you can hold onto parts for so many years and either have not discounted them or price adjusted based on current market value. Thanks Guys! Eddie
The is what the "dead inventory" category is for. Items that have to be discounted over time, damaged in storage, or literally never sell.
I actually love real mechanic and body work guys that can do this kind of work
Great video guys really enjoyed the show keep up with all the wall.
I like all the content doesn’t matter to me as long as you guys are making the cheddar 💰💰 its all good 👍 .
We gotta post more often boys. This channel should be at at least a million subs.. doesn’t necessarily need to be a new car each video. I think you can get more juice out of lee c parts
I love seeing the numbers, I love seeing you all did high end cars and low.
You guys top the chart, keep up the supa vids
Hello, un grand merci pour vos superbes vidéos . Je suis mécanicien en suisse à Genève depuis 30 ans . J’adore ce que vous faites et le super travail effectué . Bravo à vous et super compétences . Merci
Yes keep the channel going with amazing cars
There's a IAA auction Templeton mass. They have a c8 and some 5th gen camaros that are exactly what u guys buy every time I go there I think of your channel
When this channel blows up and has millions of subs, i hope the viedos stay just like this.
Great pick! Porsche, BMW, ferrari - would be great to see.
I think use to see that car around Southern Maryland (Waldorf) alot.
wonderful, my dear brother, you are truly a master craftsman that I appreciate. I'm working the same as you but for hyundai car company.
Great guys! ❤...muscle cars being restored make sense..We shouldn't junk these cars..for that matter anything not even an old tandem cycle..Even God loves to see them come back to life.May God bless them
I like all kind of cars you work with
Not to say the Hell Cat isn’t a nice. But in 2016 I bought a SRT 392. I ordered it and by far it has about everything Dodge could put in it. Basically the same as top of the line 2016 Hell Cat . The car came in Red line red which was only offered for one year. The great thing about this car is it’s fun to drive. It looks like the first day I bought it. I have 16000 miles on it and at this point I will never get rid of it at any price. Just thought I would comment on this. Srt 392 is just a fun car without smoking the tires which I never done
Wonder if you could squeeze that wicked engine gearbox ect in a porshe😮
Great video. Thanks
Damn those HRE's were sick. Didn't like that color on a white and black car but sick wheels nevertheless.
Very cool car!!!You know every trick!!!
Always good to see big price cars,McLaren parts will beat anything.
My favourite, Audi R8, lovely looking car
Yes, I was thinking about those mirrors
Just keep mixing it up I love the unpredictability,
Irmão um trabalho dos sonhos qualquer homem apaixonado por carros parabéns!
Have to admit, I shed a tear for this scrap video. I always wanted an R8, was hoping you guys would rebuild it since you do that on occasion, especially since this one sounded so good. But oh well, feel free to send an emblem my way. I hate Jukes!!
Lee, I think you need to divide the profit by the purchase price to get a better indicator for the ROI. You should show that as a separate percentage column. Oh and then the R8 performs better than the GT3 RS 😂
Thats probably why he set it up this way from the beginning! I guess I just need to but a non porsche to take the gt3rs off the top spot!
“Fooorrreee!”- Dalt (when he’s supposed to be at work)
I know guy who crashed it. And he wants to tell his side lol. Great build btw. Got yourself a new sub.
It’s works ! Wonderful !
I love these big baller videos. Please keep ‘em coming 😊 shame it couldn’t. E rebuilt.
The motor almost pays for the whole car😂
Mainly that is all these are, are just an engine worth retrieving. 😂
Love all the videos particularly the High end stuff, but in the last $ breakdown the Audi's potential profit of $20K against a purchase price of $30K I think is a better proposition considering the Porsche purshase price was $80K and only provided an additional $10K potential profit, rather interesting don't you think?
Yes, if you do it based off percentage the layout is totally different. Something like the BRZ TS from the last salvage story will rank very high even in comparison to the big dollar high end cars.
That’s exactly what I was thinking at that very moment 😂
There’s a ss camaro in Oklahoma you should check out. Undercarriage damage.
Very nice piece, mint condition car chefs kiss here 😋
These R8s look so gorgeous.
I would love to see more high ends, but can you do one of the cool looking salvage Lamborghini urus 28:49
this is my favorite R8 generation. the R8 v10 plus doesn’t look good to me from the back
Anything other than a Nissan Juke is good by me. 😊
That TUBI are common on the Ferrari since 355 .... u hit a jackpot there
these are great cars, even in this shape, so worth it. i would think you should take into consideration the intial cost not the profit.... shouldn't it be the % of the cost to the profit?
It would have been interesting to aluminum weld the busted front end members back on to do a burnout or something like that
What happened to the manual swap dodge demon build. I’m just wondering, has it just been forgotten because of the other projects you guys have?
Yea I'm hoping that they will continue with that project. It's the most interesting one in my opinion.
did you just disconnect those ignition coil connectors without breaking any of them????? you are an actual god.
It’s way easier outside the car. Our R8 kart has at least 3 broken lol
It would not surprise me that this v10 block is the same as bmw used some years in the 500hp m5 v10.
Dissecting the Audi 👁️🫦👁️
the picture of the z06 says alcohol women 🤣🤣
Do you have to follow a manual on how to take these things apart or just wing it?
Just start turning wrenches 😁
hello, greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷 I watch your videos with love, there is nothing like distributing and installing the vehicle parts that I admire like a jigsaw puzzle. The important thing is to do your job carefully, I wish it had Turkish subtitles, it would be better with love😊
CZcams içinde dile çevrili bilirsin cc bunu tıklayın 👋
Love the content just don’t understand why you talk like your about to predict the weather other than that love the channel
Exotic cars all day long [ uk ]
Siete come si dice matti 😛 ma siete ingegneri grandiii🎉
Normally aftermarket exhausts say "performance use only" or "for track use only" just legally stating they say its not for street use due to emissions or some state law, buuuutttt they all know what we're doing lol
Need to get with tavarish he's rebuilding one right now and needs parts!!!
I enjoy all this content, motivates me to open a place up like this where I live to help locally. #nissanjukeforthewin
What is profit in say 4 weeks parts going of the 150 odd. Guessing 15k possible of the 20k odd. Great buy.
the second life of a beautiful thing
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD JOOOOOOB BOYS!!!!!
Thats the reason I only i drive in my car 😂
Good results
This might be the craziest part out yet
I think the GT3RS will take that crown for a while. It may look a little less wild and crazy than an R8, but it is certainly a wild car.
@@scraplifedalt Now we need a Huracan or Gallardo part out to complete the VW supercars
Sell all the panels and make a exo cart out of it! It ran. Replace some drive line parts for the front. Make a skeleton cage and that would be a badass fun toy. Big sad
Lol, uhhhhh….we already have one of those with turbos on it?
@Tavarish should buy this engine and the carbon trim go his R8 that he got from Hoovies garage
I been waiting for the demon charger
0:08 You see this type of accident all the time with cars that are lightweight and have powerful 600hp engines. If you accelerate a little too much when you are already traveling at 140 mph, the drive wheels will spin and the car flies off the road.
Maybe u should have waited for back banger and put both ends together since it was running fine. I knew a farmer who used to do that in the 70's welding 2 halves together 😂😂😂
Agree with you-I was an insurance appraiser from the late 1970" until 2023 mostly in New York-it was a standard repair procedure underwritten by the insurance industry to so-called "clip" cars-cut off damaged front section or rear sections properly section them possibly at factory seams -create so-called sleeves and weld them together-even suspensions weren't removed-used so-called rolling clips.
Pienso que en porcentaje de ganancias el Audi gana ya que tiene una ganancia del 67%
Damn it hurt to see this one😢
Two things, never let a buddy drive your car, and two be careful buying a auction car when the listing says secondary damage: suspension 😀
Can you go over what you are doing with the leak down test and the percentages please??
in the next video or so
please
The Juke placement @19:00 feels intentional.
A mix of all cars would be fine.
There is money in the parts game the key is to have lots of inventory so you are not waiting on "the dead inventory" to sell for capital.
Just wanted to say I hate that Nissan juke i see in the background of video. Great breakdown by the way
nice wheels
well i heard tavarish needed an eninge xD
Hey don't scratch the paint😂
hey hey,big hello from Croatia.this is a new project?
Hell yeahh🤘🏾
I 100% understand being in 200-300k car range but damn???? 4K for a bumper! Jesus that’s nuts
That r8 came from the Copart I work at! Lol I work at the Chicago north location
That’s cool u saw the car before we bought it!
@@scraplifegarage yessir right away it was familiar. It’s a pretty cool and fun place to work at
Thats last time Tony Stark lets Justine Hammer drive his car...
You guys should start accepting Offers on your ebay listings
How is the demon build and god damn i never seen a r8 so wrecked up like thats terrible
*it's race season* , time to buy a new wrecked car
