Default Trade 07 RS4 for 96' 993TT or 01'-03' 996TT?

So I'm thinking about trading in my RS4 for a 993TT or 996TT. Both TTs are in great condition and about $60-$65k. If I'm lucky, I'm hoping to break even on the trade but I'm willing to lose a few grand. The RS4 has the euro wheel, millteks, sway bars and some other minor mods.

Anyway, I actually sold my 2006 C4S Cab to get the RS4 for the back seat. Turns out my kid always rides in my wife's X5 so the back seat is now a moot point.

I guess my question is, do you think it's a bad idea to go from a practically new RS4 to 1996 993TT or 2001 996TT?

Default 993TT depends on the miles

996TT can be had for mid 50s, if not lower these days. 996 has more space for kids in backseat.


FWIW, I almost bought an RS4 last weekend for 63K out the door......If you can fetch 60-65K for your 2007, more power to you..

Default I agree...Just took my colleagues 03 996TT to Maine for the weekend..

I could not wait to get back in the RS4....It really was a disappointment. Hated the transmission, was tough to get any smooth acceleration, and only got the boost going if I really jumped on it in first...Not impressed at all....
I am sure that it is much beter than the RS4 on a track...but...I could not wait to get back in the RS4

Default The 96' 993TT would be a big step down for a daily driver. It would be a killer

weekend & track machine for sure and a total rush to drive. The 996 TT would be a better daily driver, but not as nice as the RS4.

If you can swing 2 cars, get the 993TT and a used A4 2.0T, Subaru WRX etc for daily use.
