So I also checked the Audi website and while you can spec out the R8, you cannot contact a dealer about one, or request a quote on one (the quote form greys out the submit button if you try to request a quote on the R8 - works for other models).
Does anyone here have any experience with purchasing / spec'ing out the R8? What's the "secret" that I can pass on to my neighbor?

They got just 2 allotments in Hawaii, one sold and another on the way. The price is $40k over msrp
. Totally ridiculous! Their is only 1 dealership here, so no competition. I heard that the 1st model allocations for the US are sold out, but alot of people are awaiting the next model with the larger engine. So if your neighbor really wants one of the 1st model and wants it right away, the 2 you found on ebay are probably the way to go.
