Is buying an Audi TT coupe worth it with 99,000 miles?

ahhh. the good old TTs. very fun cars. now first of all for future reference i would include the year of the car because that can make a significant difference. it sounds like you are going back and forth on this one. the best advice i can give without much information given is to go with your gut. if you feel this might not be so good of an investment then just hold off.

Every car suffers from a huge drop in price at 100K miles. Doesn't matter if it's an Audi TT or a Chevy Impala. Once a car hits the magic 100,000 it's value plummets.

That's why this car seems like a good deal.

High mileage, high end European cars are a big risk. They are all expensive to repair and they begin to break down a lot more often as they age. You never said how old this car is but a turbo motor with 100K miles is a real risk if you ask me. If that turbo goes out you're looking at a $2800 repair.

If the car has really been well looked after and serviced regularly - go for it. Audi - VW - Seat - Skoda are all very good value for money. Even if you have to replace the turbo at some stage, order it from Europe, a reconditioned one can be had from € 150 upwards so even paying airfreight should still leave a lot over from the $2800 someone else has quoted.

The Audi in my opinion is also a better safer drive compared to BM's particularly on roads with a slippery surface. 100K is no longer the magic number at least regarding European cars (there is one exception)

Turbo?

How about the $1200 timing belt change you need to do at 105,000 miles? Actually, that is according to the manual. Many a VW engine ends up as scrap metal as the timing belt goes by the time the engine reaches 90,000 miles.

I dare you to call the seller and ask if the timing belt has been done. Odds are you are looking at a $1200 repair as a new owner of that car.

Buy Audi Tt

I currently have a 2001 Audi TT Roadster, 147,000 miles on it and still going strong. definitely going to need a new battery soon, just like any car. no major problems, recently just put new spark plugs in, coil packs, all the necessities any car needs. Love it, fantastic car! if you take care of it, it will last you a while.

Thats not enough.. within 3 months of using your car you will be having problems thats to little I mean think about it for example if it takes going to your mothers house 10 km.. and you only have 99km you can only go to your mothers house everyday for about a month or two if lucky then thats done.. You should get a fairly new car with a good amount of km.. on it

NEVER EVER buy a turbo car with high miles. you are going to have to repair or replace the system very soon if it hasnt already.

why are all the answers so short these days?
