Re: My R8 Experience

Jeremy any idea on why the silver one was around, and Euro vs. NA Spec as the CF sides are super rare for the cars coming here :(

Re: My R8 Experience

The silver one is at 5th right now being detailed for the showroom at glenmore. It does have the carbon side things and looks amazing. As far as I know, its glenmores demo because it does have km's on it!

Re: My R8 Experience

$140,000 is the base price for a manual

If I was your Dad I'd consider re-negotiating the price or importing from the States due to recent jump in the Canadian dollar. According to this article the base model is already $30K overpriced compared to the US counterpart. I'm sure that price gap will get a lot bigger once you start adding options etc. My next car purchase will definately be South of the boarder unless Candian dealerships wake up and correct the large price differntial..

I doubt Canada's prices will go down, it will probably be the American prices going up unfortunately.

The American economy is in a major slump right now, there is no way they could afford to increase the price of autos/consumer goods. It's widely anticipated that Canadian retailers will soon begin to adjust prices to properly reflect the value of our high dollar. See this article for more info. Sorry if it seems like I'm hijacking the thread this is just important information that all us Candians should know

Re: My R8 Experience

Thats such a sick car. Wow you and your dad look alike lol.
I agree with the interior though. Im not big on the red either. Black would be off the hook!
