Default Color..

I've finally decided on my purchase! (YAY! :]) I'll be paying(possibly picking up) a 00' 180QC tomorrow! I chose the 00' 180QC over the 01' 225QC for many reasons (cost for one). Now, I'm at home thinking about which color to get, I've narrowed it down between Brilliant Black w/Aviator Gray and Denim Blue w/Denim Blue. I think the Lake Silver is awsome, but theres just too many TT's on the road with the color (no offence SilverTT owners ;]) The build date on the Black would be somewhere in September 99' and does not have the factory spoiler on, and may have 100 or less KM on the odometer (in warehouse factory, been moved around) and the Blue is sitting in the show room, build date April of this year, with about 50 KM or so on the odometer ready to go with the factory spoiler installed. I love both the colors, but I was just thinking about scratch marks, demand in resale, and stuff like that for both colors. Any suggestions or comments will be more than helpful! Thanks ahead!

I was told the silver has best resale value...also easiest to keep clean...and it shown off the lines (form) of the car best. It is most "machine" like to me ...and the designer of the TT himself chose to have silver!

The black will make you a slave.

The blue is cool but a little to toylike to fit my mood on a majority of days.

Default Here is my main question....

...it seems to me that the black car has not had the KX recall performed on it whereas the blue car has the updated parts. I'm sure you have seen the posts about the pros and cons about both suspension configurations. I really don't think that the colors should have a huge effect upon resale, so the question remains: how much of an edge do you want in the handling department? This should ultimately be the decision maker IMHO.<p>Jason Dale

But BarTT says the Mark II is an improvement. Are you suggesting that you disagree?

Desert Green or Lake Silver...Silver is nice but very common, Green is classy and rare.

Default Would I ever suggest such a thing? Maybe he's just a better driver than I am, that must be it.

Default At this point, who cares about resale?

I for one could give a damn. I figure I'll get the most out of the 45k and IF I ever decide to get something else, anything I would get in return would just be icing on the already FABULOUS cake.<p><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/phil_tt.jpg" BORDER=0>

Default The spoiler..

will be added on, and the suspension will be upgraded before I get the car (as in for the Black one) So really, there isn't much difference between the cars either than there should be more mileage on the black (by the way, anyone have a pic of gray interior?) and I would also have the option of putting the factory spoiler on later in the future.
