Bottom Line The 2008 Audi R8 looks and sounds like an exotic, but it has the day-to-day livability and comfort of a grand-touring coupe. The SL’s new look isn’t to everyone’s liking, but in AMG guise, it’s now more punch than paunch—and a worthy stealth Ferrari-chaser.

* Based on data collected from 650 classifieds ads
Where do you get these numbers?
We scan classified ads and analyze them to determine which car they relate to.
We combine this data with other sources like a vehicle's MSRP to determine the validity of each calculated price.
We do this over time and save the results so we can show you the second-hand price history of various models.

My car does not have data
For some models we don't have reliable data.
This can happen for various reasons, like we didn't find enough ads, or the price variance was too large.
In such cases, to avoid providing misleading information we don't show that model in the graph.
