I've been trying to find a TT225R with:

Premium
Audio Package
Navigation

These are options that I want no matter what. The cars my dealer is able to turn up in the 7 state area all have power top deleted. Is that common? I'm finding that nav is a hard option to find, but it's doable? I can be flexible with the top.

Oh yeah, I don't really want to wait for a factory order.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

Not with the coupˇ :-)

Recent activity on this board - confirmed in Germany as well, suggests that production in Austria was mistakenly scheduled for thousands of manual tops. Finding a power top - unallocated or not - is extremely difficult.

Many have decided to go ahead with purchase and have been successful in asking their dealer to discount the car price for this 'hardship'. Going rate for discount is ~$800.00.

Would suggest you stand firm on all but this option or, wait a while for purchases to cycle around this issue.

Good Luck

Power top is standard on the 225, although a batch of 225s came in without it. (Audi screw-up)

The power top is standard on the 225TTR. However, it was omitted from about 1400 cars made in September, and the MSRP reduced by $800.00. Although all of those cars were pre-sold, many people refused to accept them so they are now on dealer lots. If you want a manual top on a 225TTR, now is the time to act.

Here's my personal take:

Audi ran out of power top mechanisms and there was some type of production problem with their parts supplier. Rather than just not make any 225 TTRs they decided to go ahead and make them with manual tops knowing they would all sell anyway, albeit at the inconvenience of those who custom ordered a 225 TTR that would instead show up with a manual top.

Mistakes happen, but I don't buy that someone in QC somewhere wouldn't have caught the fact that 225 TTRs were rolling off the line with manual tops until thousands were produced...

Sounds like a sane theory to me.

couple sec to put the top down by hand, no big deal.

Thanks!

Some people don't mind it at all and you can save $800 ....

I can drop mine in three seconds (timed it) and put it up in about six (estimated).
