I think the dealer doesn't know what he is talking about. Those are not Stasis wheels. Stock 19"vR8 titanium rims. In the photo you can see 19" on the tire. Also stock R8 brakes, not Stasis. No B&O stereo. Base interior- no extended leather. Previous owner added what looks like MAcarbon nav. surround, door spears and a custom steering wheel. 504 HP? LOL!!!!
I own a 2009 R8 V8 R-tronic. Stock HP is 430. I do have the Stasis exhaust ( which sounds great) but maybe adds 10HP if that. If you really want info log into R8talk.com. Great people and a wealth of information. If this car had alcantara headliner and full leather I might go $80,000. Just because it has "$30,000" in upgrades means nothing. Good luck in your search

You can try, but ... STaSIS is out of business as of last week.

There's not much info out there. I was alerted to it by this:

http://www.a5oc.com/forums/a5-genera...as-closed.html

I tried calling their man number and no one answers. Someone posted a comment on the STaSIS FaceBook page that they've closed, but nothing official. The fact that the comment has been there for the past week without refute is pretty good evidence.
