Hey guys, this is going to be my first post in the R8 forum. Right ahead, I’m still a good bit away from buying an R8, but it’s still a big dream of me. Now that I’ve read in several forums about the maintenance costs of the R8, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not so expensive at all at the end of pure maintenance (financing except if not paid for cash) ? You can now calculate with an annual driving performance of 15,000km and a cut moral consumption of 20l/100km, with 1.60€ per litre Ultimate so you get at 1250km per month, 250l petrol per month (80l tank calculated) and thus on smooth 400€ fuel. If you drive the vehicle as a second vehicle only on the weekend e.g. this number should still decrease. In addition taxes approx. 50€, every 1 1/2 years new tires are approx. 800€ (month approx. 70€), insurance 50€ approx. and 1x every 2 years inspection approx. 1500€ (month 60€). The whole result then approx. 630€ per month in maintenance. There’s a lot of money for a car. But considering what a cool car is easy, the mMn is relativizing itself. One wants a car like this, the other gives a lot of money for other things that are important to him. Priorities are different. How do you see this? LG
