Yeah take a manual on the r8. That r tronic box is simply kak
[MENTION=3098]adamr[/MENTION] found something I'm going to try and stretch the budget for.
At that price I can wait a few months longer if I can find another one in the same price range by that time
Clicky for pure sexyness
Have you owned a pre owned R8 yet? Not really a "supercar" anymore. Audi services are expensive so take that into consideration. Mechanically it is still German. Good luck and have fun.Honestly, avoid.
10 year old super car...You're going to end up bankrupting yourself bud.

The insurance on a R8 is going to kill you, and as everyone mentioned you can't daily it, so I hope you find that R700K payment for something you can drive lets say once maybe twice a week worth it?
Personally I would rather get this : https://www.autotrader.co.za/used-c...3Jkcy8zMzUvcGFnZS8yL3NlYXJjaA&result-index=19
And use the left over cash as a deposit on a house/flat, you know, something that appreciates in value
Not going with the R8, I have been convinced not to LOL.
A 335i? Nah I have a 330D. I don't want something only slightly nicer.
Will most likely end up going with the Cayman.
Do you want to daily the car?
I do indeed Not spending 500K+ on a car to not drive it every day
Then i'd also give the Mitsubishi Evolution a try. Best daily in the world. Preferred it over the Series 6 RX-7
You can't daily a Porsche mate....
Or well if you live like 1KM away from the office sure.
Like finding Nemo in desert
That's what they said when I bought my WRX, but hey why buy it if you're not going to spend a decent amount of time in it :emmersed:
a WRX you can daily for sure, but the whole concept of a car that is great to drive and appreciates in value (or at least stays steady) like the Cayman is that the millage is kept to a minimum.
You can't daily a Porsche mate....
I hear you, but I think it's also down to an individuals perspective, if someone has 6 high end cars, and buys a Porsche cash, then fair enough use it on the weekends or whatever. But I agree that if you're spending +- R600k on a vehicle and seeing that R10k come out of your account every month, you want to feel like it's worth it?
I'll show you that you can
Yeah well you can also sleep with cheap prostitutes, just because you can doesn't mean you should
Yeah but you shouldn’t do prostitutes at all. Cheap or expensive
I would just buy an Impreza WRX STi and tune it. It's fast, reliable, much cheaper to service and full of giggles at 4.9sec on 0-100.
New Toyota Supra / BMW Z5 might be available for order this time of year next year, but I'm guessing the price will be quite a shoot upwards.
Personally, I'd love to upgrade to a Cayman or 911 in the (FAR) future, but I'm very content with my 86 right now. For that money you could totally pick up a 2nd hand one and mod the hell out of it to give really great performance, but that's certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
[MENTION=3098]adamr[/MENTION] I dig that you've been through so many cars, kinda inspiring.

Most people that I know that have a nice sports car will always have a nice daily car that is always more comfortable, cheaper to maintain and just use for day to day tasks.
This ensures that the nice car doesn't get any unnecessary millage and it works out a lot cheaper in your budget too, but if you have that feeling of Jeeez I pay the bank R10K+ PM amount per month for this car, I have to use it,
then I have bad news for you, you probably shouldn't have bought it, having a second car, and especially in this case when its a car in the R500K+ range should be bought with a major deposit and in all it shouldn't take up more than 15% of your monthly disposable income, if it does, regardless of what the bank says you can't afford it, move on, if it doesn't good for you, you are being responsible and go and collect your car
Yeah if you happy with dailying the car by all means. It's yours to do as you please. Just be weary that you will depreciate that car like a mofo as there will be plenty other examples with much lower mileage. I personally have never dailyed an exotic.... Always treated them like investments and always had a daily. And people that I know of with exotics also do not daily them ...
Perfect example ... Take a 1m Bmw. If you have under 15000km you can ask your R1million ... But if say you have 60000km that's a 650k car. And 60000km ain't allot for a 2011 /2012 car. But if it is seen as collectible ... 60 000km is allot for that year model
Other things to note ...
A clutch on a Porsche is something that always gets replaced more often than your average car. And not small money ... So if you gonna daily chances are you will be replacing that clutch often too ... It's an accepted "thing" owning a Porsche to replace the clutch ... ask about the clutch before buying
Generally speaking Porsche have specialist insurers... Which is based on max mileages etc. So insurance can be pricey if you opt for unlimited mileage. Most common short term insurers will not insure a Porsche ... Remember that.
What I'm saying in a nutshell is do your homework properly on this type of car before buying.
When is my 86 ride gonna happen?
Define "ride" [emoji14]
I'm playing at Zwartkops on the skid pan with my wife in the 86 this Sunday, feel free to drop by - passages don't pay.
