Audi R8 Total Cost of Ownership: Maintenance, Insurance, Depreciation

I break down the total cost of ownership of my 2014 R8 V8 Spyder. I'm going to cover sales tax, registration, insurance, maintenance, depreciation, loan interest, and gas. This is the COMPLETE costs breakdown of all expenses on my R8. It's quite a hefty amount...adding this all up makes me realize how expensive owning a car is. I slightly regretted buying this car after seeing this huge number. But I think the happiness that it has brought me is worth that huge cost :)
This video assumes that an R8 does not encounter any major faults in 3 years of ownership. If you have to replace tires, brakes, or fix anything on the R8, that will be in addition to the total cost I show. I have another video detailing the common problems of the R8 and how much it'll cost to fix: • Audi R8 Running Costs:... .
Hopefully, this helps you decide whether if the R8 is the right car for you! Believe it or not, this is one of the cheapest supercars to own!

Hi Roger! Very good video, truly enjoyed the break down. I am a Mercedes guy and currently have the 2017 E300 and love it as my daily driver. Look forward to your other videos. Cheers!

Great video! If anything, this is a testament to the reliability of the V10! A few years down the road picking up an R8 seems like it wouldn't kill me maintenance wise... at least for a VW/Audi. Subbed

I was going to say before you mentioned that you were financing the car, that you must be a millionaire if you'd bought a 90k car in cash. Maybe one day I could own this when I am a multi-millionaire.

hmm I don’t think I said that. I’m well off but not a millionaire yet. If the car is a reasonable portion of your net worth you can afford it. Most people buy a car that costs more than their net worth.

125 per month on insurance, I pay 160 for a 2015 Volvo s60 t5 premier. Honestly it doesn't sound that different than to what I am paying at the moment. Maintenance is only 800 bucks more.

Yup not bad at all. It’s an affordable supercar :)

Did you really sell the car now? I don't think you lost any value given how much car appreciated especially on the high end ones. Curious to know if you made money from selling it if you did

I bought it for 85k 4 years ago. Now market price is ~75k since I added 17k miles to the car.

@RogerCui sounds like you kept the car but i don't blame you. I don't think I can be parted with the car as long as its still runs even if the price is great

You may as well keep it for a few years....until you get bored of it. Or just hold onto it.

@RogerCui 2 жыл бұрын

I’m keeping it for 2 more years!

I have owned my V10 for 3.5 years. Love it but just wait until you have to put a clutch in for all models up to 2015, I believe. The Rtronic style transmission. ($14,000). A/C compressor ($2,800), brakes ($1,800 per front), mag rides had to put coil overs ($2,800 did them myself) I could go on….

How many miles did you have to replace clutch
