The prices of the mk1 v8 have dropped by about 30% over the last year in the UK. Unfortunately the cost of credit has gone from about 2% interest to 10%

Love the video. I watched your channel before picking up a 2011 Audi R8 V10 R8 R Tronic. I also went with BC racing coilovers. Great stuff!

Sonduren! Fellow Canadian here, you can find ethenol free fuel at any marina gas station as well as certain commercial fillup stations. It may be impractical but some people own a small gas tank trailer that they'll fill up a couple times a year. Another option is having a tank at your house and getting the fuel delivered. Hope this helps. Cheers!

@carswithsonduren 9 ай бұрын

I’ll definitely look into this. I had no idea that they could do fuel delivery. I’ll also look at commercial filling stations nearby. Thanks man!

regarding the ac problem. sounds like the same problem with 2nd gen crvs with the ac unit sitting low on the engine on the hot side. Solution-piston from scroll type ac unit and a deslugger.

Leaning towards a 2012 V8. I have a bike so my performance needs are taken care of lol

@genie5320 8 ай бұрын

quite frankly, im glad you made this video but this video has also caused some serious concerns in my decision. Having a cracked front frame, failing AC or clogged valves all seem like major jobs and its going cost a lot with it being an R8. cost of one in my country is about 250k for a used V8 version and our currency conversion is 1:1 CAD... would it be cheaper to find maintenance on front mounted V8s like the bmw M3 or Maserati Granturismo?.. hmm..

@carswithsonduren 8 ай бұрын

Thank you. Definitely things to be aware of because obviously the costs in your country are quite a bit higher.
