    A good buddy of mine is considering picking up an R8. I'm trying to help him dig up some owners who wouldn't mind spending 15 minutes on the phone with him to talk about real-world experience.

    Please email me mr_doody AT yahoo DOT com or PM me here - whatever works for you.

    Many thanks,
    Doody

    Figured I'd pop this up instead of starting a new thread.

    Are Audi dealers allowing test drives?

    Not interested, in purchasing, just liked to drive one.

    Only one way to find out I suppose.

    I'll swing in one day since it's on the way home. If not, then I'll just ask to drive the next step down, lol.

    FYI very few dealers actually have R8s on hand. If a dealer is fortunate enough to have an R8 allocated to them, it is ussally presold before it ever arrives. So the chances of finding one on a lot to test drive are slim.

    They had one up in Ramsey NJ dealership for quite some time.

    I think its been sold recently.

    Nice car. A lot smaller than the photos show. IMO

    Nice car.

    Yea, I know. There was one sitting out front of the dealer I drive by daily. The spot where it was seemed very unlikely to be a presold unit as it was outside in miserable weather, very small lot in the front showcasing the cars.

    Like I said, it's worth a shot.:)

    Believe me, if I was in the market for a car, the R8 would be up there. And worthy of me checking out up close. My current car suits me great right now, not to mention almost a year old. And the price is out of reach too, lol.

    Ever since I saw one rolling down the street I've fallen in love with the looks. It's stunning.

    Hard to get a test drive since most are sold. I am 2nd in line at my local dealer for the higher powered R8 due out next year. It is a nice car.
