psi365 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Used Audi R8 for sale cheap with couple dings Posted Dec 27th 2007 1:58PM by John Neff Filed under: Car Buying, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Supercars, Audi http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/12/b88e_27_opt.jpg click above for more images of this totaled Audi R8 The Audi R8 is an aspirational item for most, meaning that most will only aspire to own one and never get to park the actual item in their garage. We blame the $118,000 USD price tag, which is even more in other markets, for own own personal inability to attain one. What if someone were selling a slightly used R8 for cheap? This one's for sale in Germany at the going rate of 35,999 EUR, or just about $52,430 USD. Yes, it's been scratched... and the front end completely destroyed, along with the driver's side rear fender. But the glorious 4.2L V8 mounted in the middle is in pristine condition, and that's all that matters, right? Honestly, all kidding aside, not even Cooter could bring this car back to life, which means $52 grand would be a chunk of chump change for what is essentially a large German paperweight.

05GT Guru Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Even the parts that do work arent worth 52k all together, you could build a 8 second car for 52k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I would like to know what happened and how fast they were going. Doesn't seem like the passengers side held up too well...it looks like a frontal offset wreck but damn makes you wonder how strong that aluminum body is.

So for all that damage to the car, someone may have walked away with little body warm done to them. The body did its job and absorbed the impact.

Guest heightsgtltd Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 ofcourse, perhaps where the rear seats are so you have fronts, the engine, and then the cargo bay FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for all that damage to the car, someone may have walked away with little body warm done to them. The body did its job and absorbed the impact. The body definately absorbed a lot of the impact but that passengers compartment is all but gone...doesn't look too survivable to me...not to mention that the pillar looks very thin. They were doing 30 mph in a 20... crazy children come out of no where and bam your front end is all messed up. what up fats! I was expecting you to say it hit my fat ass. Not much new for me...you get your exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fweasel Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 You have to take into account extrication damage emergency workers inflict on the car after the crash... often makes the wreck look worse. Without knowing what the car looked like immediately following the accident, the only real conclusions that can be drawn from crash damage would be minor things like how close the dash got to the seating area. ignore him, he'll go away.
