$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '2')009 Audi R8 MT6 -Iron Man Car- - $117888

The price has been significantly reduced, selling to de-leverage liabilities - WOULD PREFER TO SELL ASAP...

Payoff to bank is $124,287 - will entertain reasonable offers

Just listening to random shuffle, and right when I opened this post, Iron Man by Black Sabbath came on.

Weird. Signal from the universe that I need an Audi R8 MT6? Or that I should just "pass him there and why should I even care?"

perhaps.

All I need is another $117k and I can get this one.

LOL

If i'm spending that kind of money, its on a Ferrari.

I actually saw someone driving one of these Audi cars when i was in Miami. The car was pretty sweet looking. My house cost less....

[Maddog78]

Nice car.
I'd consider one over a Ferrari.
Ha, like I'd ever buy either one.
This would be a lotto win only car.

Ha, good one.

R8's are nice and Ferrari's are sweet too but I'd take one of these over either. (if I won the lotto)



It's a Porsche Carrera GT in case you are wondering.

But where would I put my cooler and beach chairs?

I never really understood the expensive car thing. They take longer to fix because it's impossible to find repair people. They get lousy gas mileage and you never feel comfortable parking them anywhere because of the risk of theft.

If I had that kind of money to spend on a convertible, I'd get a brand new Ford Mustang and spend the other $90,000 on a year long vacation.

I think this car would still be a babe magnet:



Some people have more money than brains...

[timmac]

What I don't understand is he/her still owes the bank $124,000 but has lowered the price to $117,000, usually folks that buy cars like this cash them out or at least 50% down, looks as if this was a knee jerk buyer with no money so had to finance at 0 down, now they want out, stupid does as stupid does.

[Maddog78]

The "expensive car thing" is all relative.
I know a guy with a garage full of them.
Him dropping a hundred grand on a car is like me picking up an order of Chinese food on the way home.
He doesn't even have to think about whether he can afford it or not.

[bodigami]

nah... i prefer (doom) boats; but an Enzo Ferrari with the motor of a Tesla Roaster and some changes to put it all together will make a great car... one that will probably cost more than 1 million euros because of it being a prototype based on 2 supercars 'tough... oh, and i want to listen music on that car; the Enzo doesn't have a radio or iPod compatibility.

[sittinguy]

I have a 10,000$ motorcycle that will outrun the audi,, I'll stick with that

[Hoops_Mckann]

I used to be those "form over function" guys. For the "performance" aspect of it, a much cheaper, easily modifiably car would be more practicle and enjoyable to own if your one of those guys who likes to get his or her hands dirty and enjoy the technical side of things... However, cars like this are purchased by the "look at me" and "look, I can afford to drive a very expensive depreciating asset" crowd. Nice to see some of the "rich" folks feeling the pain too. I guess "rich" is a relative term though..

[emersonbiggins]

Since I've started "not caring" about this guy, he's lowered the price by another 3 grand.

I think someone is coming for his thumbs next week.

or...

"Hey, I didn't order any concrete!"
