Audi TT MK1 3.2

Seriously considering buying one of these, a friend is emigrating and I've always loved it. It's 2005, with 70k odd miles and FSH, for ~3.5k.

Thoughts? Is it just a money pit that'd be impossible to sell on? Has anyone here owned one?

whats the road tax like ?

Silly money, €1800 or thereabouts.

Rare enough car over here but would be difficult enough to sell on in this country alright but then again the current price reflects that. But hey if you want it and are happy with the running costs then go for it.

Once you drive a car with a big engine, you can justify it, believe me :P

OP, they're a rare car and one which a lot glance over in favour of the 1.8T, however I don't think it'd be too hard to shift in the future as it's rarity and the engine will stand to it I think!

Buy it, drive it for a year, reflect, I guarantee you will have enjoyed yourself. You can then either sell it on at minimal depreciation or look to export it to the UK for even more cash and a VRT rebate.

Then you obviously didn't like that car enough to justify the tax :P

I'll keep saying it, if you don't look back everytime you walk away, you bought the wrong car.
