New C8 vs Used R8 parts prices

[PapaSmurf]

So, they get to beat on the customers car? wow!

Well I guess that depends on who's doing the oil change.

 

[PapaSmurf]

They do sound amazing at 8700 RPM...or so I've heard

I'll just put this R8 Oil change invoice here and let you guys decide.

Must have seen the whack job from the East Coast coming and "Jacked" the price....

Had Audi Care which covered all maintenance. Cheaper to own than my Corvettes.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Can you enlighten us on this service...

We have Corvette care which covers oil changes, but not techs beating on the car.

Fact? That statement is totally subjective.

No subjectivity here. Simple numbers game you need to understand. If it wasn’t a fact, people would not pay 4x as much for a Lambo than for a C8. Simple.

I know this may be an uncomfortable truth for you, but the majority (The Market) dictates the price. i.e. they see 4x as much value, beauty, etc. in the Lambo.

Those who want and can afford a Lambo buy one, the rest can’t and settle for a cheaper alternative. There may be a few out there who would opt for a C8 over a new Lambo at the same price. But know that you are in the thin rare minority.

If you can’t agree with these statements, I urge you not to change. Lambos are already way too expensive because of the demand, and I want a third

"Performed road test"? for an oil change? lol 973 point inspection

Know that the C8 oil change under the service plan also includes a “multi point inspection”. To my surprise when I picked up the car. And GM charges about $300 for it. Lambo used to be $800 a decade ago, so guessing way more today.

Really? So people pay 400 times the amount for a purse because it says Louis Vuitton on it because it numbers. Simple! Give me a break!

Now I know it has nothing to do with the hot redhead on their home page…. Cost of anything is relative to bank account balance unless it’s because of principle I suppose.

Just went you think older Exotics are affordable, remember to factoring the cost of ownership to the price.
Throttle House did a comparison on a 2012? vs new Maserati sedan. $14k to replace the airbag because of the CEL on the old one. lol...

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

If I have to replace the airbag, the car would be conveniently "No longer in my possession"....

As soon as you started this thread and mentioned R8, I knew you weren't going anywhere! The harder you look the more entrenched you will be with us!!
