Can you pause your insufferable douchebaggery for like 2 seconds while adults are talking?

I've seen some highish mile ones start to flirt with $50k-$55k (My bad, YUGE typo). I have to look again though, it's been a few months. I haven't dug into maintenance costs, but it's a motor that's not unique to that car, esp. the early ones so, who knows. My fear is that if I dig into it and see it's a possibility, I'll make poor financial choices.

Click me for bad financial choices.

Oh wow, that's way cheaper than I was expecting.

Last I checked you were still looking at more like $75k for a decent :manuel: R8. :waxer:

They have held their value better than almost any other Audi.

Man, I'd go :scrooge: mode.
This dealer took studio pics of a blue '96 Neon. You could buy like, 300 neons and form a Voltron for that R8 price.
0% financing for 84 months" on this $800 listing. :lol:
