you do not, I repeat.... DO NOT want a "cheap" TT. it's likely to cost you $20k in misc. repairs.... Tires.... $750.00 per pair.... brakes.... $2500 for the job, minimum fronts and rears.... suspension.... another $2000 for shocks and coilovers and then (of course) clutch and pressure plate.... could be $3000 or more depending.... and of course there are those oil changes.... $350 minimum each time.... so the point is simple... save the money and buy the quality up front. at least you can enjoy the car and set aside dinero for what will be necessary later instead of buying a $55k TT's that could possibly need a lot of work. ($20k in engine work is not uncommon depending on how the car was treated and the thing will be so STRONG you won't believe it.... but when that day arrives, it will cost you) There's an AWESOME C2 (or two) in these posts that's available in the $40's without issue and very low mileage in one case. Check those before spending too little on a VERY complex machine that in the end might not really do the trick. FYI ~ a 1991 to 1993 Turbo that has lower mileage and a 1-bar spring (as an upgrade) and then install a free-flowing exhaust and you will normally SMOKE a stock 993-TT with the right driver. You get around 375 RWHP with that kind of setup and unbelievable reliability.
