wkdtime Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 that must be officially the cheapest twin turbo! how many miles though? If its less than 130k miles thats a bargain, why 130k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 y's that? so now you think you saved typing a character? You've typed three keys, and why is also three keys. Does it look like an acceptable tradeoff between intelligence and 'kewlness'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it look like an acceptable tradeoff between intelligence and 'kewlness'? Actually he has saved two characters, Explained here, The propper way would have been, "Why is that?" (9 characters not inc.?) Stonkin's way was, "y's that?" (7 characters not inc.?) 9-7= 2 Characters saved. Kewlness has triumphed in the above case.

Stonkin Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 an acceptable tradeoff between intelligence and 'kewlness' ? Sadly not John, i was merely busy at work, and posted quickly as i didnt believe the car was an NA, since i've offered to give Golddigga a hand with any cars he may find in my area, i was just curious. Bit picky, are you having a bad day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 y's that? Find it impossible to believe that there would be no mention of the fact that it's a twin turbo in the advert spec itself, only says 'turbo' in the title. No shots of engine bay, no mention of things like traction control, or anything else. Also no interior shots which is odd. I'd be shocked if that was a TT. EDIT: Also isn't the TT a group 20 insurance and the N/A a 19? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 well the advert does say its a 'turbo', JamieP has phoned them and they have told him its a twin turbo, so it definetly does not appear to be an N/A But cant be that great a TT for that price. I thought the TT was group 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the TT was group 19 Maybe I'm wrong then I thought it was a 20. I still find it hard to believe that anyone with any sense could sell a TT for that price, and not actually put in the ad anything about the fact that it is a TT. I realise the mielage is not in there so perhaps it could be a very high mileage car - 130k+??? Even so, still cheap. Cheap that is, rather than good value - I'd stay well away personally.

Pete Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 How can you get something so simple wrong? The number of traders that advertise as a turbo when it's an NA is stupid. It has to be a ruse to get the phone ringing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
