Paid right around $125k for it, fully negociated. It was listed as $128k, which is an outright steal for a car that had more than $20k in options in it. New ones go for about 150k around here so...

The IS-F is probably worth anywhere north of $55k around here now. Paid it $70k-something back in 2008. I didn't sell it, just transfered the title over to my company.





Thanks! You have no idea how much hard work it is to run a Tim Hortons franchise, let alone two, alongside two other businesses (that I only co-own though). 90 cent coffees is hard work dawg.



I will have to agree with the original commentator in the sense that I can generally have more fun on the street with the IS F than I can have with the R8. Everything is 10x as expensive to fix on the R8 so if I break something, I'll probably have a heart attack. I'll probably be less heart broken if I land in the ditch with the F rather than with the R8.
This comment makes no sense either. I think what you mean to say is you feel safer or more at ease driving it because of the expense of fixing it. If you are having more fun on the street driving the ISF then there was no need to get the R8

My point exactly. The language barrier truly shines here. :P

That exhaust is pretty cheap too! It's only $5k.

Dang! Big upgrade from F. How much are you paying for insurance? I don't even want to find out how much Audi charge for an oil change.

Oil change is covered by Audi Care, so I wouldn't know. I'd imagine it being nearly $300. Insurance is not very expensive, about $120 a month. Exotics are not very expensive to insurance if you deal with specialized firms (as I did) that also insure yachts.

I'm thinking of doing the same switchover once the prices on those are reasonable.
