I am nearing the purchase of a 2009 first-generation R8 V8 manual, which is wrapped in purple but originally white. I believe I am obtaining a favorable price; however, my primary issue is the mileage—approximately 150,000 km, or nearly 95,000 miles. It is purportedly well-maintained, having just received a new clutch, and has only been driven during the summer months, to my knowledge, with an oil service conducted at the beginning of each season.
I am a complete novice in this domain; what do the professionals advise? Is this a danger or am I secure?
If you were to estimate a reasonable price for a vehicle of this type and mileage, what would that price be? It is located in Europe, so subject to European or German pricing; I am uncertain if prices in the United States and Europe are equivalent.
I want to get a favorable agreement that will either retain its worth or maybe increase. What are your thoughts?
Is there anything more I should know? Do you have any advice for a novice? I am 24 years old and have no prior experience with automobiles of this kind, so any advice or points of caution would be welcomed.
Thank you, everyone! I apologize if some of my inquiries seem trivial; as previously said, I am a novice.
