SupraDan24 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It'd be a steal if you could get it for less than the 3.5k buy it now price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It'd be a steal if you could get it for less than the 3.5k buy it now price. Not really, I've seen plenty of tatty TT autos sell on ebay for 3k or just over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersonic Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It'll be interesting to see what it goes for. Went for £3250 the other week but according to the new listing the winner was a timewaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider2123 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's not top condition but with a little work could be nice- is 125000 alot for a TT? I suppose depending on the history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) How do you know it might only need a little work doing to it ? Upper and lower wishbones could be on their last legs if not already in need of replacing and that little lot will set you back more than the car cost. Thats before you start thinking about all the other parts its probably in dire need of that will soon add up to thousands. smic, rad, heater matrix, ac rad, calipers blah blah You really need to look beyond the cosmetic condition of the car to assess whether its viable or not.

qwarrior Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Paid £2.5k for my 93 TT, 3 years ago. Spent a bloody fortune cos I didn't take advice. Mostly sorted now like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Paid £2.5k for my 93 TT, 3 years ago. Spent a bloody fortune cos I didn't take advice. Mostly sorted now like. The misconception is that the mkiv is bullet proof and will do 300k The reallity is the mkiv has a fantastic build quality and if looked after it will do 300k but on route it will need lots of quite expensive parts to keep it running/driving as sweetly as the day it was made. Everything you cant see is what you need to worry about when buying a nearly 20 year old mkiv whether its a tt or na. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Its worth the money to someone who wants a running project though. It might need thousands spent on it, but those few grand spent over 4 or 5 years is nothing compared to what a lot of lads on here spend on mods alone!
