Been thinking Audi R8 RWD for sometime. Got a new 2022 Rover for the wife with a 2023 model on order. Tired of my wonderful Highlander and need some performance cars back in my life.
I can get 6% off one at the moment.
Residual is strong for 48 months @ 5K miles.
56% Residual
Money Factor .00156
Kemora Gray is the color. Coupe or Convertible has the same programs. Prepaid maintenance makes it attractive.
Or I could settle for the new RS3 as an order. Maryland taxes are killer on an R8.
Doesn’t make sense to finance and sell? signing up for almost 100k lease over 4 years, can’t imagine it depricates that much.
When I was looking at these during COVID March/2020 I noticed the top of the line had an insane residual at 24 months, I think somewhere in the 80s… Only 4 were available in the country (forgot trim, didn’t matter much since I was deal chasing not car chasing) but dealer wasn’t moving off MSRP.
I found one in May for about $48k off MSRP. Deal was insane but wife forced the G Wagon. Which turned out to be an even more insane flip at sticker.
You have the MF/RES for the R8 line-up? Can help pick sweet spot.
Damn you are 100% right. MSDS lol
If you pay taxes upfront like IL I would go with a lower term. +tax states the 48 month is the best it doesn’t go down that much.
@AutoCompanion Do you think it will depreciate this much in 4 years? How many more years of production is planned? Being the last V10 Audi Sports car I just can’t see that much depreciation. Probably last non-hybrid Audi Sports car also.
V10
Mid-engine
No battery
RWD
2 seats
It checks all the right boxes except MT to be a good candidate for a good value holder.
Not an investment advice but this is my opinion. 
MMR on a 2018 with 20k miles is in the mid 130s. 6 mos ago was 132. To be safe, let’s say 120 in a less insane market. Looks like you’d be into it for about 170. So $50k depreciation plus interest to own it.
I think you’d do better with a Porsche, but this is really not my league at all.
What’s the RS3 numbers look like?
Did you check for RWD MMR? Seems those hold better.
The old gated manuals fetch crazy monies.
That’s what I looked at, yes
No RS3 programs out yet. Great looking car as well.
Was also thinking IS500! I can get a stupid deal on that.
Just for fun, I looked up a 911 GTS. No clue what actual cost would be but I built a very modest one on the website for $150k. MMR on a 2018 with 20k miles is $122k.
How stupid?
10% off stupid.
Build a G Wagon then check out MMR. You will have a good laugh.
Neither. Buy the new C8 Corvette. I drove the R8 (my dream car) and the new C8. Found the C8 to be a much better daily driver. Plus the C8 is quicker and can be had for around $100k including markups depending on your options. That’s what I paid to finance my 2LT convertible a couple weeks ago.
