Buying a 2000 or 2001 TT
 

Im looking at 2 TT's a 2000 185hp 5spd Fwd TT with 60k miles, no body damage, xenon, tape deck, a lil road rash on the front left rim, has carmax maxcare warrenty on it for another year or 20k miles. It did have some slight tapping/ticking when it was idle. (warrenty could fix), drove nicely, no noises while driving. silver on grey leather. for 11,200


or

2001 225 6spd quattro TT with 75k miles, 1 slight slight door ding on the rear quarter. heated seats, xenon, cd changer, Blue on blue leather, drove nicely. no noises. clutch feels sound

$13,500


timing belts for both have not been changed yet.

I bought a 180 and wish it was 225.

Get the 225 and do the timing belt right away.. >
 

I have a 2002 TT 225 with 75k miles and I just had the timing belt done a few thousand miles ago...

You will def want the xenon, cd changer and heated seats if you live somewhere cold! I love them..

And blue is a nice color on the TT!

Goodluck

2nd...wish I had the 225. Don't mess around on the TB...GET IT DONE!

"blue on blue leather" ------------
 

Three mentions of cars identical to mine in past 2 days. Dealer said "really rare" back in 2004 when I bought it. Starting to feel rather commonplace :-). I'd get the 225 and chip it. (after I did the tb and wp ) I wouldn't sell mine for 13500 .

warranty?
 

is the 2000 with warranty really a bad deal. although it did haev some engine sound, tapping it sounded like. tap tap tap tap tap tap ..

and it also had some water stain on the rear floorboard. above the spare tire. whats that about?

I'd stay away from that one.

so the 2001 at 13,500 225Q is better than the 2000 at 11,200 185F with warrenty?

yeah, i got that too. :P

I'd buy the Modshackmobile, no question!!!!
