Well the situation with the asset finance is we have long standing relations with a a company who provides asset finance for all our capital equipment.. So they give us good deals on finance for a car as a benefit really.. I wouldn't know the exact rates until i get further down the process but they are always very good and better than normally available.
@ ^JP^ we must just both have good taste thats all i can imagine wanting a red one... What model have you gone for and who are you dealing with ? Do they have used ones as well ? What made you go for a new one ?
Well I test drove all the R8 offerings and decided on the V10 Coupe 6 speed manual, exact spec is somewhere in the Audi thread
I also looked at most others cars in the price range including up to used MP4 and LP560s.
Decided I really wanted mid engine manual and that then kind of limited things!
If you didn't know, I was driving a 2012 GTR with SVM 650R package which made 648bhp 611lbft at the OcUK Dyno day
So a bit of a step down in performance but everything else about the R8 is better in my opinion.
I didn't order a "Plus" because the sport suspension is hard, probably a bit harder that the GTR on Comfort mode but without any adjustability, I also didn't want Ceramic brakes.
Audi wouldn't build me a Plus with Magnetic ride and steel brakes so I had to spec up a "normal" V10.
I went new because I wanted it exactly how I wanted it and finding a 1-2 year old manual is bad enough without then looking at colours and options.
Dealing with Audi Norwich and all they have now is a brand new White V8 Coupe S-Tronic with no other R8s due in until mine arrives in September.
