Here at REP we specialise in R8s, so we thought it was about time we used our expert knowledge to produce a buyer's guide!
In this video, we explain what to look out for when buying a Gen 1 R8 V10 (pre-facelift). It's a must-watch for anyone considering buying one of these awesome cars.
We've focused on what to look for, rather than a road test or getting into used prices, as there are plenty of those videos already on RU-vid.
Hope you find it useful - let us know what you think in the comments.

Amazing video! Your knowledge is incredible on this car. Need your help with an AC issue that I’m currently having on my 2012 V10. Do you recommend changing the switch that’s located behind the left headlight as an option? Also, is it an easy change or even possible to do a headlight change on my 2012 for the facelift headlights?

I like people who know their stuff and make strong calls where needed. Misting shocks of course and not ok! Regardless of what Audi says. The price of oil hoses is strong but when you see how they’re made & what they do, you can probably understand why. And do you want to cheesepare on something in the mission critical category?

What comes through for me is that the presenter knows these cars inside and out and loves them. If I had one, I’d definitely trust him to give me the truth. The firm won’t be bargain basement prices but it’ll be done right. My 2 cents.

Great Vidoes! What has been your experience with AC compressors on the V8 and V10s? I read that its better to leave them on all the time to extend their life - any thoughts?
@REPerformanceUK
@REPerformanceUK Год назад
We don’t see many compressor issues on either. Most of the failures we do see if because the owner has driven it round with no gas in the system. When that happens there is nothing to carry the lubrication oil.

@GT380man
@GT380man 3 месяца назад
I’ve watched many videos. I think condition should trump everything else at this point in time. That is, if I was looking for one, I’d start with the very best examples I could find & it there were more than one car that I could see myself buying, then I’d ask your very good question! I think the V10 sound is unbeatable. If I could find a really nice example AND if it had the V10 lump, I’d be overjoyed. Unfortunately my remaining parking space won’t accommodate a car like this without compromising other things important to me (secure parking as well as proper workshop space for my vintage Suzukis!

QUESTION At 4:35 you talk about not mixing tire dimensions. Does that mean that if you put 20" on these you should run 305x25 rear and 235x30 front to get the same difference in radius and circumference between front and rear? Or is it something with the width of the tire?
