Second Hand Audi R8

With the current car market having been under the cosh over the last few months so to speak, I had a little brainwave and thought about visiting my local Audi dealership to see whether or not I could get a used Audi R8 at a reduced rate. How wrong I was. I guess just some cars keep their value better than others and I suppose the two year waiting list kind of sums up the demand. See where there is demand – there are expensive prices as it means there are a lot of buyers wanting to purchase. From what I could gather, the same applied to the Audi TT in that its overall resale value hadn’t really been affected by the credit crunch. In fact, from what I could gather from the car salesman, although their used cars section of the business had been operating at slightly less numbers, overall car sales were not at too much of a low. Many put this down to the strong brand that Audi has these days and their popularity among auto enthusiasts. My assumption that I could just go in and use the current market situation to my advantage were quickly squashed, especially when the car showroom was flooded with customers and most of the salesman were conducting new business. I guess it’s back to trying to save up that £80,000 for the purchase.
