Guest Ghett0Smurf Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 tt autos are nice but manual are more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra61 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 if you can take the cost of the extra petrol and insurance then it's tt all the way bud.woohoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 have a word with jezzybabes and he will do you a full tt engine transplant with all accessories for £3000-£4000 and its all fitted at that :) Thanks for the plug, but i notice he already has a 6 speed box, so it would only be £3000 to upgrade the engine to TT.

Kranz Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Seeing as you paid £3600, and the car is now in good nick (as you said youreslf you've spent a bit getting it getting it the way you want it). A further £3000 will get you a 6 speed TT just the way you want it Total cost, less than a good 6 speed TT in the first place! While its being done you can go for upgraded parts as you like, as its easier when its apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 but he'll never see the money back if he does an engine swap...i would assume he´d struggle to sell a car if its registered as a NA and has a TT engine.........might put the majority of people off. If he pays a small amount extra and actually buys a TT and looks after it, he might not lose any money at all when it comes to seeling it on in the future. You never want to be left with a car you´ll struggle to sell or have to sell for a ridiculously low price. The TT is gonna be more expensive to run but as everyone else has already said.....you definately wont regret it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 part exchange it if the car you test drove is ok. if you worry how much a tt does to the gallon, you cant afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 has an uprated turbo If it's a TT, what do you mean by uprated turbo? Sounds weird to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 If it's a TT, what do you mean by uprated turbo? Sounds weird to me Get someone who knows to check it all out with you - sounds like normal dealer BS to me. It MAY be uprated, but get him to tell you what is uprated about it and produce documentation. Lots of people have fallen for this type of line before...
