Yeah, saw that. Looks like he took a pic of someone's car on the street, made the post, and knows nothing about the cars. It happens.

Dayam! Love those wheels... black on black looks mean but not my first choice on colors (only because it gets so hot and is difficult to keep clean) but dayum for that price I could suffer with it!

Matt, when it came to air cooled turbos, the mechanic I used in Charlotte would say to walk away if it was not 100% stock. The eBay car is appears to be heavily modified. You still think it is a good deal?

[onewhippedpuppy]

It just had a flash, which is super common on the TT. The first car linked had over 700 HP worth of goodies and is probably a good buy at $39k.

Everything I have seen on the TT indicates that they are incredibly stout cars, even when modified. Really I think the driveline becomes the weak link when you have huge HP, especially if you do hard launches. I'm sure there's a point when you start breaking internal components, but I think the stock limits are pretty high.

[Halm]

Thanks Matt. I appreciate the advice.

[A930Rocket]

The $30K looked like a good deal. Hopefully I can get another one day before prices go up.

The good news about buying a well sorted modified car is that you buy those mods for $.50 on the dollar, provided that's what you want.

BTDT with my 930.

That's pretty much the car I wanted when I started looking 10 months ago. Not that I'm complaining. I do like the 6-speed, but the Tip is acceptable in high density urban driving. Huge bang for the buck.
