Default 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.

Default 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

Default "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 .
