Which to keep? TT or A4 Avant ?
Hello All,
This is not my first post, but I forgot my pword and decided to log in w/ my facebook acct.
I have a 2000 TT QMS with only 47K. Its pretty mint save for a few minor scratches, a fuel gauge that only reads F> 1/2, and an airbag light on the cluster. The TT is a beautiful car and always will be. Cant find any nicer w/ less miles.
I also have a 1.8T 03A4 Avant QMS with just over 100K miles. Been a great car for us. Unfortunately now needs needs some maintenance/wear items replaced to the tune of about $1500:
- Coolant Flange
- Both front rotors
- Upper Tie Rod ( L )
- Lower Control Arms ( L )
The shop wants about 1200 to do the suspension and rotors, and 300 to do the coolant flange. ( With a new baby and a busy job, I have little time to get under the hood, though I did replace the Engine Speed Sensor this weekend )
Trouble is, I cant fit a rear facing car seat in the TT. So I decided to sell it and use the A4 as my winter car while getting the wife a newer SUV. But with the work needed on the A4, I am not sure thats a good plan anymore.
So which would you ditch, the A4 or the TT?
BTW, I have a Mustang which is my summer daily.
