around 100k miles. Received the pictures yesterday. Seems in good shape. Will go take a look at it.

What should I expect from a hi-mileage car? Future repairs.

It's a 2 owner car. It has a carfax report on an insurance claim (4200$). I will give you more informations when I will get them.


thanks

Service records are pretty key on a 100k car. That is actually NOT very high mileage for a 16 year-old car. Unless they flipped the image, the car appears to be left-hand-drive. Odd.

What's the intended purpose? A higher mileage car, well maintained car, that's already had some paint work, could be a great DD. A very thorough PPI + service records should provide some insight into overall condition. IMHO, overall condition is much more important then mileage.

I want to see pics of that interior, chestnut brown could look great. I'm approaching 90k on my car and it drives great. I think the price seems a bit high. I purchased mine from the second owner at 77,000 miles for around 45k, with the sport seats. I needed to replace the shocks, clutch slave cylinder, and lower control arm bushings and the car was perfect after that. After I did the work I realized that I didn't really need to replace the clutch slave, it was only annoying to have to transfer fluid from the front reservoir to the rear reservoir. Clutch functioned just fine. Control arm bushings were an inexpensive upgrade. I had records for everything. Let us know what the car needs. Shocks and slave cylinder will cost around 2k and that is if you need to do the work yourself. My clutch was replaced at 50k miles when the wiring harness recall was done.

I received the pictures by email... I do I post them here??? HELP! The interior looks red to me with the wood trim option :s ... And yes my plan is to drive it as a DD until I find a cleaner one. I'll ask for the service records...

Oooops, I mean RIGHT-HAND DRIVE. Sorry. A senior moment.

dombeau

you are right! The tt on the picture also has euro bumpers. The one for sale has the regular stuff... Senior with a 20/20 vision!

The $4,200 insurance claim on the CarProof is for (purportedly) repairs to the roof from hail damage. I requested the roof repair work orders a number of times but did not receive them. I did receive service records for $18,000 worth of work in the last year...I guess that's good or bad depending on your point of view.

I have to say I've been thinking of driving up and checking it out myself. Here you go:

Last two. Not sure about the interior...

That car has had better days imo, sooner or later it's gonna need some work. Given the asking price, there are better ones with less miles. Even though the car my be solid otherwise, it may have the potential of a moneypit.

I'm not sure the pics do the interior color justice, I recently saw a local TT in this color combo and it looked great, this car just needs some interior mods (blk steering wheel, blk/alum ebrake/shifter, blk floor mats etc). I can't judge the condition from the pics but once setup this color combo will look great!

The price it not outrageous for the Cdn market, it's only an asking price to start from, pending this car checks out ok on a PPI with compression/leakdown included, if you can get this car down to mid 40s I think your in good shape for a TT. No way in Canada you will get a TT for under $40K.

Keep in mind $18K worth of service is easily attained if we are talking about dealer servicing prices. I would throughly look thru these records, a lot of needed bigger items may be done included rebuilt turbos, new clutch, slave/accum, major service intervals etc. If so, all a plus IMO if its going to be a driver. 2 owners is pretty good if they took care of it too.

Rust would be another concern, only mention this cause its in Ontario. Def ck the body and lower windshield areas.

Good luck!

I could not live with that interior

It may be the lighting, but that definitely looks more red than chestnut. Especially the steering wheel... but I know interior colours are hard to photograph.

ScottMellor

Flamenco red interior with burlwood accents. Shudder.
Sports seats.
TTSurgeon, why do you opine it has had better days and is a possible money pit?
18K in recent service could have brought it up to snuff.
I too could not live with that interior colour.
