Seen a nice R8 V10 with 25k miles on the clock - good spec, good colour combo and manual box - it's up for 60k.
What are people's guesses on what it's likely value will be in 3 years (With another 10k on the clock)?
It will be a toy hence depreciation is important to me, the running costs I can stomach!

Convinced my old man to buy one of these recently (black v10 spyder with grey leather, manual 34k miles and only a 2 owner car) paid £61,350.
However it had just had new clutch and flywheel, new front disks and pads, two new rear tyres, and a new rear window mechanism, all added up to around 7k spent within the last 2000 miles. Car is almost like new. He was concerned about depreciation and I have said I will buy it off him in 2 years for minimum of 55k if he wants to get rid of it as I have used it several times and have been impressed with it.
To me its a more subtle/reserved lp560 spyder with a 40k discount at current prices.
The car is well worth the extra over a v8 version. If you get a good one of these in desirable spec, at this price point its a no brainer.
As above though, parts/servicing can add up for the bigger jobs.

I paid £62K for my 2010 25K miles V10 coupe about six months ago. Current prices would seem to suggest that similar ones are still going for about the same price. I'm anticipating a drop to around low 50's over the next few years but will be very surprised and dissapointed if it goes any lower.

I agree, I can't see them going lower than mid to low 50's, dependent on condition. If the V8 model is staying in the 40's for a good example, the V10 will never drop below that.sparta6 said:
How many did the factory knock out in RHD manual, 1500-ish ?
C&p from r8talk:At present there are 3083 registered R8s in the UK of which 44% are manual.
1334 V8 coupes of which 65% manual.
185 V8 Spyders of which 38% manual.
951 V10 Coupes of which 24% manual.
502 V10 Spyders of which 32% manual.
(the numbers dont add up to 3083 becasue there are a few LMX and GT models which I didn't know what they were...)

Wow, as many as that. I know Audi are moving towards a volume manufacturer but that number of R8's seems an awful lot just for the UKAt present there are 3083 registered R8s in the UK of which 44% are manual.

Awww stop fannying about and buy a Lamborghini Gallardo. So much more car and so much more character. .....
And so much more expensive! I test drove a v10 today and I must say it was so much better than the 991 c2s I have at the moment. I'll be buying one shortly, it's an epic car
