Default Upgrading C4S for TT?

Saw this ad and am gonna check it out Friday. The dealer will give me pretty much what I paid for my 2007 C4S (39K miles) so add another £16K and I can get me this sick boy!

What do people think of the mileage?

General thoughts on good buy or nay?

Can anyone spot the anomaly with the steering wheel?

Personally, I prefer a used vehicle with a fair amount of miles. You usually have more records to review to make sure it was maintained well. I'd be more afraid of a TT with only 10k miles.

The torx bolts on the bumper fascia have been removed at some point, some are painted, some are not and there are scratches on them. Doesn't mean anything but thought I'd point it out.

The seat side bolsters look very worn for 10k miles but I suppose they could have theoretically got in an out every 20 miles...

Otherwise, looks good on the surface. Get a PPI with DME report.

I don't see anything odd about the steering wheel. That rib that runs around the Porsche crest is just a normal part of the airbag design (so the crest doesn't get embedded in your face)

Steering wheel airbag looks to have a vertical crease running through it where it's bowing out. I'd negotiate the price to include a replacement airbag.

Quick look on Cargurus says $54k.

KBB says $51-54k.

They might have given you a lot for your trade, they want to make it back on sale price.

Good Luck.


p.s. today's pound price was $1.28

the crease going through the airbag is normal.
