#41 of 46 Advice re Purchase of 2002 TT Coupe by big8pe Mar 17, 2009 (11:18 am)
Looking to buy a 2002 TT coupe with 66,000 miles on it. Will meet owner tomorrow. Have read blogs on timing belt and instrument cluster. Anything else I should be looking for or asking about? Any help appreciated. Replies to this message: floridacarwiz (Mar 17, 2009 12:19 pm) big8pe (Mar 21, 2009 5:00 am) floridacarwiz (Mar 23, 2009 8:46 am)

Replying to: big8pe (Mar 17, 2009 11:18 am) My advice is to get all service records for the automobile. See what problems, if any, the automobile has had. I have a 2008 TT Mark II with half that mileage on it. about 32,000, and everything is fine. Just do your due diligence, get the service records and have the car checked out by an authorized dealership/mechanic. Good luck.

#43 of 46 Magma/black interior by mulligan101 Mar 18, 2009 (7:27 am)
Plan Man, Have you seen the magma/black in real life? I am looking at a phantom black with the base black seats with alcantara but there is one coming in a few weeks with the magma/black seats and I am thinking about going for that one. Interior photos would be great when you get your car. Thanks Replies to this message: plan_man (Mar 18, 2009 7:42 am)

Replying to: mulligan101 (Mar 18, 2009 7:27 am) Mulligan,   Yes, Diablo Audi in Concord, CA, had a Meteor Grey on the showroom floor with Magma/black interior. It's striking, but not overdone, IMO. When I decided to go with red outside, it became important to me to go all matchy-matchy inside. It's a weakness! It was either that or Solar Orange with the orange/black inside for me. The fact that I would have had to order it and wait 90 days tipped the scales to red.   That said, I'm a big fan of Alcantara. In my experience it wears pretty well, cleans easily, stays colorfast and has a nice grip to it for a seating option.

Replying to: floridacarwiz (Mar 17, 2009 12:19 pm) floridacarwiz, thanks. I've agreed to purchase the car contingent on a mechanic's inspection. Car was in excellent condition and well-cared for. Guy has all maintenance records and has already replaced instrument cluster. My one concern is the timing belt. I cannot seem to get a straight answer either from him or dealership. He's had it inspected by Audi dealer at 60,000 and was told it was good for another six months or to 75K miles. He also says dealer told him it was good to 105,000 miles. He mentions a class action on this but I can't find it. Regardless, car is soon to be mine and I just plan to plunk down the money to have timing belt replaced and other stuff as mechanic recommends. But I would like to get more skinny on this belt issue. Any suggestions? Thanks. Replies to this message: floridacarwiz (Mar 23, 2009 8:46 am)

Replying to: big8pe (Mar 21, 2009 5:00 am) Big8pe,               Congratulations on your decision to puchase the TT. I wish you the best of luck. They are good cars, and like any other, wear and tear will occur. Just service the car by the book and you should not have a problem. I plan on keeping mine indefinitely and making it a project car. The next mods should be a larger turbo, injectors and an intercooler. The car runs like a top at 32,000 miles, and I am getting ready for a 35,000 mile service. Keep in touch on your travails, and best of luck with the fine Audi automobile.                                       Elliott
