Default Test drove my first TT this morning. Wow.

Took a test drive in my first TT and really liked it. Amazing power and pull. Now I get what everyone has been saying.

2009 TT Cab in Aqua Blue and two toned Beige/Black interior. Black top and Tip. 21,700 miles and really nice condition. Asking $75,833. Will definitely give it some thought today.

One of my favorite exterior colors, and the 2-tone interior is really nice.

I thought the price was pretty good, but then I noticed it's a tip. I would think you might be able talk him down from that ask..

Good luck, the torque is addicting!

Ditto Saabin on the Tip - room to move on the price. Beautiful ride though, good luck!

That is a beautiful color combo. That one looks like a 'tweener'. PCM 3.0 but Tiptronic instead of the newer PDK. My preference would be manual then PDK.

That's a nice looking TT...love that beige leather with black carpeting...sharp! Oh 2009...and only 21K miles and LSD, that's even better. $75K seems like a good price for an 09 cab with those opts to me. I paid $10K more for mine, similar mileage, coupe, '07...MT.

That is a very attractive car. Also love the interior. Looks well taken care of. Good luck with your acquisition!

Beautiful example, pretty much the ideal .1 cab except for the Tip. You can tell the original owner knew what they were doing by ordering the two-tone since light colored dashes are notorious for windshield glare in the 911.

That;'s a great looking car for sure, and mint. Love the colour.
If you like it, just buy it before someone else does.
These low milers must be getting harder to find even with tip?
Enjoy the boost

Beautiful color combo. Don’t let the TIP turn you off. I have a TIP and love it.

Unlike many, I am only looking at Tip cars.

Nice but I would be concerned about the front facia scratches and the beat-up chin spoiler in the same area. I also notice the rear facia had what appeared to be scratches too. Where are the black painted wheels and I would need to confirm it's equipped with a LSD which in a tip would be very rare. (JMO).

Love the color! I just picked up a 08 tt tip and have no regrets. Long trips with my wife lay ahead!

Not sure about the LSD. Will ask them.

When I looked into the black painted wheels, I read that the thin insides of the spokes and inner rims are painted black instead of grey. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

The front spoiler does have some scuffing. No scuffs underneath the front at all.

Looked closely at the front and rear three separate times and so no scratches at all. Might be the angle or water spots. Near flawless car except for the spoiler scuffing.

Interestingly, I thought the headlights looked foggy in some of the pictures but they were perfect in person.
