Default I bought it!

I did it, I bought the car. I've attached a link to some pictures. The car is a 2001 TTQR, Nimbus Gray with the baseball glove interior--gorgeous! It has every option: Navigation, Xenons, Bose, heated seats, etc. The previous owner was fanatic about taking care of it--it was his "baby." He had it serviced every 5000 miles at the dealership and had all the proper service procedures done on time by the dealer--what a relief! I have all the receipts.

The car has 53,700 miles on it but looks brand new. The interior is perfect and still has the factory plastic wrap on the door sills and footrest! The top is perfect and everything works flawlessly. It drives like a new car without a single creak, groan or rattle, even on Cleveland's terrible roads. I drove it home 200 miles from Detroit this afternoon and it was a real blast. Right now is has some 17" alloy wheels with Blizzaks, and we got the polished 5-spoke factory wheels (no tires--they were shot) as well.

The car is a real blast to drive. We didn't get into it much, but when the turbo comes on, it really goes, especially second gear. I'm in love! This car is everything I ever hoped it would be and more! I can't believe how well it grips in the show with snow tires, quattro and traction control!

I don't know if it needs shocks or not--it sure rides and handles well, even with the snow tires. The only questionable thing was that my husband noticed when we were parking it at home this evening, the gas gauge needle was twitching--a bad sign? We couldn't duplicate the problem after trying, though. You guys have me scared about the instrument panel replacement--this thing is out of warranty! How much must that cost?

Anyway, I went on too long. I can't wait to join in here and enjoy my Audi! Woo-hoo!

Default Fantastic, Wait till the top is down...You wont believe how cool it is. Roadster rule..

The TT is a one of a kind sportscar. I bet you cant wait till spring to put the top down.
If its above 40deg. it is O.k to lower the top but Audi says not below mid 30deg.
Have fun
