Hey all – thinking (painfully) about letting go of my R8 and would love your thoughts on what it’s realistically worth.

 

Details:

 

• One owner from new
• Only 7,400 dry miles
• Full Audi main dealer history
• Just serviced & MOT’d – clean bill of health
• Only 10% brake wear
• Stunning red leather interior
• R-Tronic gearbox

 

 

She’s been pampered, never tracked, and always garaged. What would you value her at in today’s market? And anyone have good recommendations where to sell it?

 

Appreciate any input! 👊

Welcome Nicholas, 

Have you been the sole owner from new?

Regards,

Gareth.

Hello Gareth,

Yes owned from new.

I forgot to mention it’s a 2010 year!

 

 

Many thanks Nicholas,

I think this warrants being entered into a specialist Classic car type auction to maximise its interest. 
Auction houses inc. H&H, Iconic,(seem to realise high prices),  Brightwells etc. - probably a bit newish for Mathewsons. 
You could also try advertising it in Car and Classics, and I believe you can also do this on an auction basis. 
Back to Mathewsons - Sarah who used to work for them, now is part of Evoque Classics ( please check I have the correct name), and they also act as sales brokers and do the advertising for you, and the car stays with you. 
If it  were  mine, I would be very selective in who  I allowed to view this car. 
Please let us know if we can be of further help - and how you get on.

Regards,

Gareth. 

Thank you Gareth! I will looking to all these options. By any chance do you have an idea on value?

Hello Nicholas,

I must admit that this is very much out of my sphere of experience, so I can only pick a figure out of the air, which might sound insulting ( with apologies for inexperience), but well, well north of upper £50s K?? 
I would think the auction houses should be able to give you an experience estimate, from which you can choose your reserve. 
Please let us know how you get on - if you are prepared to divulge the c end result. 
Last point:- our stock trader friends Christmas bonus might go towards this, so waiting for later in the year a consideration?? 
Regards,

Gareth.
