Default Well guys I had to let her go.

I bought my red haired Nismo Z in 2013. I honestly have to say this has been the best car that I ever owned. At almost six years I still get looks and talks from admirers at gas stations and car washes. I mildly tuned her and felt every tune. I had big plans for her and I had a dream car which is The Audi R8. I found a black on black R8 with 20K miles, one owner and garage kept. Clean car fax all maintainence documentation and perfect body. I’m not rich by any means, but I was saving to boost my Z’s performance and had an chance to test drive the car. I fell in love and after getting what I wanted in terms of price we sealed the deal. I’ve had fun on this site and even did a few cars and coffee. I will still be on the site because I love the Z but just wanted to share my story because you guys shared so much that gave me ideas and knowledge (steering wheel lock) on my car. Thanks.

Please tell me you had the front frame welds checked before you bought it. There have been some R8’s scrapped because of front frame/ shock mount failures. I believe this plagues 2008 to 2010 models. Not sure though.

I have not heard about this. I HAVE heard the shocks need replacing and it is a bit over $10K. Not sure specifics.

I'm debating between an R8 and a 991.2 911 but not going to jump on either for a few years to save as much ca$h as I can.

Thanks for the warning but I did a lot of research on the car and I know about the shock mounts. I had an certified Audi tech give a inspection of the car and everything is great. I’m getting new coil overs because when they go I’m not spending $7k for new ones and I know about the granny and how to drive the “auto” like a manual. Thanx dude
