Finally, a TT of my own
I have been watching from afar, plotting, planning, and now I finally have the Audi TT Quattro Coupe I have always wanted.
I have a bankers box full of TT sales literature, magazine articles, etc. going back to the early days.
Got a smoking good deal on it too. TT Coupe, 225, 6 speed manual. Silver with gray leather. 45k miles and all service records. Got it for $6000 under suggested retail as I work at a VW/Audi/Porsche dealership.
Next will be a new timing belt and H20 pump, but for the next 20k miles I will just enjoy driving it every day.
Cheers!

Yes, I do a lot of coasting. I live in the mountains and here are several areas where I can "coast" the speed limit or better.
Sometimes, when I am lucky, I "link" some of the down hill sections and coast for more than a mile or two.
Being in the mountains, we pay $0.20 to $0.30 more per gallon as there are no fuel lines to the area, it all comes by truck.
I mooch every mile back and forth to work I can, so I can drive more

Congrats on the your new Audi TT purchase, I lost my roadster to my wife for the summer. I believe her exact words where “It’s her summer car”… Well this fall I’ll be back in the driver’s seat again.

Did my first 300 mile, give or take, sortie from Asheville NC to Charlotte NC. TT was flawless. Wife and pooch in the back, seats down. I popped for new TT Monster Mats and got a rear mat from mats.com.
Still getting great fuel economy.
The TT was sold new at the VW/Audi/Porsche dealership where I work, then CPO sold at 21k. I picked it up with 45k. I plan on doing the timing belt at 60k.
So far, so good

Congrats. I've only had mine for a few months now. Love it! And that is with me coming from a 335I!
I just did the timing belt etc. Not as bad as it looks. If you are the DIY type, follow BlueTT's instructions.

I did look at the directions, but I work at a VW/Audi/Porsche dealership.
My BMW bikes, I will work on, but technology this deep and my lack of tools... the Audi techs here will get it. And besides, it will be warranted by Audi.
I plan on driving this TT for a long, long time.

Congratulations!
Sounds like you picked up a nice jewel of a car! And working at an Audi dealership? wow, that's the perfect hookup!
Enjoy!
I've had mine for 2 months and I've been loving every second of it (even the DIY repairs). I bought mine in your neck of the woods: Greer, SC

Greer is close, geographically, but it is a world away from Asheville About a 7 degree temperature difference, too, and that helps a LOT in the summer.
Still very much enjoying the TT. I hope it serves me well for many miles to come.
