MK1 TT 225 low miles!

[Ant1]

Absolute peach, deposit paid and collect in week.

It was his fathers car who passed away, garaged from new, only used in summer, serviced and motd annually from supplying Audi dealer, cambelt service last year at a cost of £1500 and serviced 3 months ago again from Audi. Car mats over car mats to protect original mats

It’s f**king mint.

either too much time on your hands or too much spare change, I'll go with both.

very nice all the same, how many cars do you have now?

I’m old and worked hard ??

9 including this but I’m going to make a effort to sell the LY and Flamer now.

Lovely, wouldn’t be my first choice on colour though..

I’m old and worked hard lol. Fair play mate, you have some cracking cars in your collection, my old boss had a black 225 when they 1st came out, always liked them?

I love the exterior but have never been a fan of any car with a cream interior.

Basically a Ph1 exclusive?

Yeah ?

Great colour. My other half's dad just picked one up one of these in red... I like it! Still the best shape TT imo.

 

[Ant1]

Well that was short lived. Had a message at 5am saying his mum couldn’t go through with the sale and refunded the deposit.

 

[Flat Eric]

Looked mint as well. s**t colour though.

 

[Ant1]

Either that or someone else has paid more for it, seemed a bit to emotional for that.

I had something similar last month, V5 filled out and everything but she couldn’t go through with it because her late husband bought her the car brand new 22 years ago. I could understand it she kept it mint but it’s been parked under a tree and not moved for 9 years!

Rule Number One

Don’t do a thread until it’s on your drive.

True but it was a 50% deposit ?

Didn’t think there would be a problem with that amount down.

Your Flamer is so tempting, I can't justify it now as I have nowhere to store it until I need it as I am not selling my E34 yet.

Was a stunning deal you almost had there!

The Mk1 TT still looks pretty tidy inside and out, alot better than most other cars of that era now appear.

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks nice. Prefer the the mk2 shape.

 

[cat171]

If it wasn't that colour it would look lovely. Despite the low mileage etc, colour wins out.

TT prices are all over the place at the moment, mainly because there are some minters, and some utter dogs about. I test drove a few before I bought mine.

Knowing you @Ant1 and the way you like to hoard classics, I'd say look for either a QS, or a manual V6

 

[R3k1355]

V6 is where the money is at, if you can find one cheap enough as they're already on the up.

The 225's still knocking around at £1500 is bargain basement stuff though.

That's why I did the chains on mine rather than breaking it. Yes it cost a fair chunk, but like you say, decent ones are on the up for that reason. I know a few breakers and they are pulling TTs to bits like no tomorrow

 

[Coops Mk1]

Hideous, surely you've got enough wedge now to sell the lot and buy something actually good

I'm positive that this car was up for sale about 4 year ago same colour same story about no driving in the rain and same low mileage I thought they sold it to a dealer that was asking mega £ for it
I think originally they wanted around£7k
I thought about it but didn't like green so didn't bother

You know what it rang a bell with me also but more recent, last year.

It's seen jack-all use in the last 8 years, but it has been MOT'd each time and passed.

Would a dealer be stupid enough to sit on it for years and loose thousands of pounds in depreciation?

May be they bought it back because they missed it?
