Hope you gave the car a thorough test drive. Around the block ain't sufficient.

Be sure you get a PPI done.

How does the CarFax report look?

I googled the car's VIN and got some weird hits, two sites with Kanji or Chinese scripts for web addresses. I didn't go to either of them. Is the car a USA car?

 

If you need the hydraulics system redone, you can have the system rebuilt for less than the new parts. Give these guys a call:

after two of those and one currently with 120k i find it very very hard to believe that those are DRVING maint costs. more like sitting in garage drive sundays costs at 2k per year. but who knows. i spend 500/1k a month at least cost averaged out over the year(s). maybe? a bit less, but not much! these things aint cheap to run and keep.. and i mean RUN.

 

If you can do your own repairs it will save you a lot. Mine has been trouble free but I do preventive maintenance. Looks like a nice car and the price is very good= hope it works out.

 

If the PPI checks out go for it! Bought mine this summer and it's not a waste of money, as long as you take good care of it you'll get most of your money back when you re-sell.

 

CarFax is clean. There have been four previous owners. Now on to the PPI!

 

Good luck!!

At 40.5, looks like you got the deal of the day!!

 

My wife is now having major regrets about granting permission for me to buy this car. She is not happy. I told her that some annonymous people on Rennlist think I'm getting a great deal, and she just said, "I don't want to talk about it."

Please don't be offended that she doesn't seem to value your opinion. I still think the joy I will get from this car will outweigh the current marital discord!

 

Waiting for your post as a new owner. Hope the PPI comes out clean!

 

Keep in mind that it's quite easy to find a new wife. Finding a clean TT at a great price, however, can often take many months.

 

At 40K it is an Okay price. Happy wife happy life. I can tell you my wife loves our TT. She will not let me sell it.

 

Post of the month right there. I actually giggled out loud at work.

 

Me too.

Problem has arisen: Seller previously claimed that 30,000 mile service was done (the car now has 38,000 miles on it). However, the shop that supposedly did the 30,000 mile service says they actually didn't change the plugs, and that it would cost $800 to change the plugs.

Because our agreed-upon $40,500 sale price was premised on the seller's incorrect assertion that this $800 job of changing the plugs had already been done, I've asked for the price to be reduced by $800. Now the seller is saying no, and I'm digging in my heels too.

So it looks like this $40,000 deal may well be scuttled over an $800 spark plug issue. Which, frankly, is fine with me, because it gives me more time to shop around and will make my life easier on the home front!

 

800 dollars to change plugs!!! LMAO!!! Go use a different shop. Where r u located? I just did plugs and coilpacks and it cost me 200. I supplied the parts obviously.
