Well thanks for the suggestions guys, I had a couple other cars in mind before narrowing in on this one. I considered a few 944s but I couldn't find one at the same price that was near show-quality like the Coupe GT. I like VWs, the Corrado is a good suggestion if I could find one nearby. As for Japanese cars, I know they're reliable but I haven't found any that have really intrigued me. The MR-2s aren't bad, but are a little too 'hair-dresser.' I got enough girl-car jokes with the TT. I owned a Mazda MX-6 in high school, and my parents went Japanese a few years ago...I tried to turn my dad back to German but in his older age he doesn't want a car he has to work on.
The Audi has the nostalgia factor, and is a good price for such a straight car. I think I will take a road trip and have a better look.
