AntzRowe Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi guys, this is my first post, but will prob start living on here soon! Currently selling my bike to fund the new purchase. Any info and advice on N/A would be great, if anyone can help. Or if anyone is selling one, looking for a silver or black, low miler in excellent condition, has to be a manual though and either hard top or aerotop. cheers Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 If it has to be a manual, you can forget an aerotop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntzRowe Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Would love a tt, but im only 22 and will be paying enough to run and insure a N/A, heard the tt are very thirsty and Ive a heavy right foot! Just sold my 328i sport so a N/A is still a step up in power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only true savings are in the cost of buying. You will normally buy an NA of the same year cheaper than a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntzRowe Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 cheers guys, seen the one i like, and agreed a price wit the guy whos selling but not sure if its overpriced? How much do you reckon this car is worth guys? its had 7previous owners showing on the v5 and one of the mot is suspect, done 10k in 1st year, 7k in the secound MoT, which is fine but then only 900 odd miles for the 3rd MOT! just a bit worrying, normal milage again then for the last couple of MOts. Also owner has only had it since April. Any input would be great as I dont wanna make a big mistake!! car on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&item=250027701207&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The seller is an ex member on here and frigging crackers. You buy this care at your peril (IMHO) Also, if you look at the seller of the car and the bidder I think you will find they are one in the same. Walk away from this one mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntzRowe Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 I was told through a friend who used to own a tt that it was crippling to run and maintain whereas I thought a na would be very similar to my bemmer, what do you reckon? as obviously I would love a tt! Advice off both na and tt owners would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntzRowe Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 he was asking £8k which is ridiculous i know, went up to see it and said Id pay no more than £6k tops if he had the scratches in it sprayed. He dropped to 6.5 so I left n told him to think about it. Few days has passed and now he's prepared to take my offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Honestly the TT WILL cost much more the run, the n/a apart from insurance probably won't differ too much from your 328, it'll be a little quicker and if your fine with this then go for the n/a, only thing i'll say is buy from a member on here if you can, your much more likely to get a good car, I personally would NEVER buy a car off ebay, there's so much crap/scammers on there.

It needs to be a car i can drive daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntzRowe Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 yeah been looking at the for sale section, will give them so thought, supra's seem to vary in price mind!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
