Rahul, I can understand your indecision on this one....the thought of a well bought V8 R8 and driving the wheels off it as a DD is really appealing.

There is a lot of exotica you can buy in these times for 160k large....

I'm thinking of a standard R8 to split the time with my A8L as a DD...for those days when something a little more fun is in order

Barrister has a reputation beyond repute

For $160K you can get a nice 2006 F430 with low, low miles and tons of options.

Just sayin'!

R8 V10 in addition to my favorite car in existence. Just your considering means that I must applaud you!!

If you have the means I say go for it, you could definitely flip it with in the next year for a good amount. If not, I say pass the deal along to UBC and see if he would put up with a hard top.

EDIT: No way in hell, don't get rid of the RS for this piece of ****!! Sorry, I have a little bit of a bias.
