I have come across a nice looking R8. Its £25k with 58k on the clock, good history and non cat. It mentions a few minor problems and the wrap could be hiding all sorts of horrors but it seems a great bargain. What am I missing here?

An understanding of how eBay works apparently.

You’re missing the last 3.5 days of the auction…

That aside, I still think these early R8s are undervalued for what you get, and the final price will be relatively ‘cheap’.

The bucket full of body filler the wrap could be hiding?

If it seems too good to be true it usually is.

Deferred maintenance on these can soon add up to a tidy sum, timing chain or clutch are eye wateringly costly, even if you provide your own labour.

I am not a fan of wrapped cars either, who knows whats under there?

As everyone else has mentioned, it isn't £25k. Final sale price might be £50k, give it 72hrs and see what the price is at.

They've changed it to £6,100 now, so unfair to keep moving the goalposts

To be fair, they are only trying to keep it in line with the rate of inflation.....
