Looking For A Mint Roadster
I'm in search of a mint condition roadster, Grey, Green or Blue, must have optic leather, less than 50k miles, manual, AWD, one or two owners, all books, records and maintenance history. No paintwork, no winter use or DD. Garaged and covered. PM or email me with details at jfawsitt9@yahoo.com if you know of anything that fits the description.
Thanks,
JF

I'd do an advanced search on cars.com

Thanks for your reply.
How much should I expect to pay for the timing belt replacement at an Audi dealer?
Is there anything else I should be looking at regarding model specific problems?
Asking prices see to be all over the place, am I right in thinking the nicest cars sell for between $12k-$15?
The only car that caught my eye so far was this one:
Cars for Sale: Used 2004 Audi TT in 1.8T quattro Roadster w/ 225hp, Salem NH: 03079 Details - Convertible - Autotrader
Thanks,

Read this FAQ about Mk 1 issues Fourtitude.com - Audi TT FAQ
In addition to the TB maintenance, make sure all the gauges in the dash work. The temperature gauge should read exactly in the middle. Look for missing pixels in the central display. A few missing pixels is common but a lot would indicate the dash panel is on its last legs and will need to be rebuilt. Also make sure the glove box latch works perfectly (primarily an issues with the 2000 and 2001 MY). You can not just replace the latch. You have to replace the entire glove box for $1000!.
The price on the car you linked seems about right but it does not have the optic seats you want. To get the car you want you will have to do a national search (within all miles of your zip code) and be very patient. It typically takes me 3-6 months to find the TT I want to buy. Baseball optic seats are very rare. I've never seen official numbers from Audi but based on the TT events I have attended, only about 10% of Mk 1 roadsters had that option. Be aware that black baseball seats were offered late in production and I would estimate that only about 1% of roadsters had that option.

Thanks, I will be patient for the right car and do national searches weekly. Funny you should mention the black optic leather, this car has it but too many miles for me and the ask is too high, usual dealer stuff. I would prefer to buy privately from a fist or second owner.

The black baseball looks much better in person

you could try looking around on the other forum, you know the one that begins with a Q. Some of the old timers there are in the process of moving some of their cars.
