Local facebook group. cars in Victoria.

I’m Selling my 2008 Audi R8 Cheap because I bought a newer standard trans model and I don’t have the parking at my condo for it.

169,xxx
Rebuild status
Some cosmetics needed!
Imported to BC from Texas
Cheapest R8 around!
No luxury tax
Private sale

$42,000
I’ll also entertain trades for another car and cash. I’m hoping for more of a daily driver type car. If you want to finance part of the $ I can set that up too with my line of work.

Private msg if interested.

The mileage is 170k, and the sell price is $42,000.
That's not a bad deal at all for an R8 considering clean 08' go for mid to high $90's. Baller on a budget right there.



^This one is for sale in Quebec. Rebuilt status with 68,000km.
$68,900

What're maintenance costs going to be like on a 170k Audi though?

probably a lot.. but if you compare to the one hypa posted, you're saving around 30k.
Would you spend $30k over the course of 100k kms in an R8? not sure.. could be close

The price of the Audi R8 has been reduced to $38500. Owner says it just was fully serviced and inspected at Audi.

Probably not too bad, considering the car is still a VW.
There are a lot of shared parts in the first gen R8. Some from pedestrian VW models, others come from the Lamborghini bin. While the transaxle is a shared component as seen below.

Gen1 R8.

As long as the car was mechanically sound someone got a sore dick deal and a youtube channel idea. "I bought the cheapest R8 in North America"

Interesting to watch SiR prices call down. Plenty of choices and no buyers.

1988 Toyota Tercel - didn’t know these came as 5-door hatchbacks, most I’d seen were coupes or 3-doors.

I've always loved these cars. And at 104k kms, it's a great deal.

The EVO seem to be such a rare car in Canada. Not that I have really looked, as I was a Subaru guy. But I was always amazed that the EVOs could make so much power so easily, compared to the STi.

Sad about the rhd though. I didn't notice that, as I was searching craigslist for a 1965 Impala. I still don't know how the EVO came up in my search

I might be wrong, but I think the Evo X was the first one you could buy in Canada (even then I imported mine from the US)
