FIRST TIME EXOTIC CAR BUYER GUIDE : Why the Audi R8 V10 Plus is the Perfect Choice"

I agree that a R8 is a great car for this. I bought a first gen R8 V10 with a manual transmission and the appreciation has been strong. My best appreciation has been my Porsche 993 Turbo and my 2005 Acura NSX.

The second key is still exactly like in a Passat, my father had one, and most Audis that launched after 2010 have the same key.

Yup. I was just gonna say, Lambos just have Audi keys too, not the other way around.

So if I buy a car like this for 150,000 the tax loan in California is going to be almost 15 grand. How do I drive it for a year and then sell it and not lose 30 or 40 grand grand???

Great video Pejman! Glad to see you do one like this on the R8. Started shopping a few years ago (really wanted a 2015 V10 plus (final year of gen 1/facelift) but this was during all the boom on BaT and the market in general. Nevermind the manual versions that went through the roof. Got to the point that ordering a new one was cheaper. Ended up putting the order in Sept 2021 and got my allocation this past fall. ETA delivery for this July as a 2023 model.

[@bernardtruvillion2779]

Question so when you say car hacks you are buying the cars and flipping them so you are not penalized for maintenance and repair for the cars. You are then working up to different types of cars doing the same method correctly. So if you only wanted to have a R8, for example, does the car hack system makes sense besides your guidance on what car is best as far as value which was awesome by the way. Thanks for the videos R8 was and is still my dream car in convertible. I currently have a 2019 Camaro SS convertible that is lots of fun but the R8 has always been my dream and now the new z06 vette but I'm sure that's not a good hackable car.

[@evorealtime]

I had a 2020 with delivery miles bought from a dealer. 18 months and 4000 miles later, I sold it to a car buying website for 3% less than I paid. 21 weeks later it is still advertised for sale for 6% more than I sold it for and would have been due a service in that time. Weird market.

[@Repomex01]

Your educated candor is priceless!

[@Tential1]

R8 is insane deal right now. Porsche is insane priced right now compared to this.

[@jordanking6939]

So an 1 gen R8 V8 is better than a C8 Z06 in your opinion.

[@ExoticCarHacks]

In my opinion the C8 Z06 is heinous. Chevy got the proportions wrong, the car looks like shit. Performance figures don't matter. My public bashing of Corvette nerds is based on the fact that they say they bought their C8 because it's faster than whatever car that's 5X as expensive. But they didn't, because they couldn't afford the more expensive car. They bought what they could afford, which is fine. They have zero footing to act like they made a conscious choice not to buy a 765LT because that was never affordable to them to begin with.

[@christianloya5238]

What about a 2017/2018 r8 plus with a twin turbo kit from a reputable company? Does that add or devalue the vehicle?

[@marcos45923]

How would this compare to a Lamborghini Huracan? Is the reliability of the R8 it's biggest selling point? Would very much appreciate your input.

[@ExoticCarHacks]

Better car to drive, but not as exciting to women / bros at car meets

[@jz3430]

I bought a 2014 V10 Spyder in 2021 with low miles, black edition and diamond stitched interior. Since then, the market on the R8 has come down about 5%. It will likely drop another 5% over the next 12-18 months. After waking up this car by installing an F1 exhaust, I plan on keeping it for 5 years. I dont care about driving the car for only $500/month because this is a car to keep longer than 12 months. My only regret was not buying a gated 6.

I currently own a Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody at 20 years old with no job. My car is being repaired right now after it randomly has a "service error". I am finished "settling" for non-exotic cars that I dont truly desire. For the past few months I was thinking of buying a Corvette C8 first before buying a Lamborghini or McLaren, but I dont even like them. They're an unattractive McLaren rebrand that is an absolute disrespect to what an actual exotic car should look like. I am yet to know how, but I will own a Lamborghini or McLaren next!

@@TheGintama86 from the Ferrari lineup, the F8 Tributo has good room. But the 296 does not. Just about every McLaren has plenty of room, especially headroom. If you need more legroom in a McLaren if you are over 6'3 then make sure to get mechanical seats. The 720S platform is the roomiest of all of them, but even the 570S can squeeze a 6'4" driver with an inch of headroom to spare. Unfortunately no Lambo or Audi is going to give you great room, and the convertibles are worse. The best Lambo would be the Huracan with the mechanical sport seats as they sit a little lower.
