When were those magazines last updated or refurbished? Based on my observations, the installation of lowering springs did not enhance their longevity, suggesting that they may be nearing the end of their functional life, which is a consideration to ponder. EZ raises a valid concern on the tendency of individuals to neglect both preventive and essential maintenance as these vehicles age and become more affordable; thus, it is imperative to examine the maintenance records thoroughly. I am unaware of the pricing in your area; but, in the UK, one can get a gated V8 with 60,000 miles with wingback seats (although with a repaired cat) for £28,000, making other locations seem less favorable from a UK standpoint.

A high-mileage and extensively customized R8 is perhaps not the most advisable starting point, to be honest. As previously said, wraps can conceal problems, and in the case of BC coilovers, I can assure you that the spring rates are incorrect. If it has been well maintained and is reasonably priced, it may be satisfactory; nonetheless, you should allocate funds for potential issues (oil pump drive seals, rear arms, air conditioning, walnut blasting, etc.). Ricky's buyer's guide serves as an excellent starting point, and it is essential to thoroughly examine the service records to ascertain the maintenance performed.

Despite all this discussion, you have yet to disclose the level shown on your dipstick.
