As a lot of you know, I've been looking for a European convertible to buy for the summer. Looked at a bunch of different models. E36 M3s, E46 330s, Z3s, Saab 900s, Saab 9-3s, etc. After being screwed over in 3 BMW Z3 3.0 private sales, I decided to turn to dealers, and since at this point I needed a car ASAP, I had to take the first decent thing that came by. Got all the finances taken care of. Went to the RMV today to pick up plates. And brought it home with my dad. Now all I have to do is learn how to drive it
. Luckily tomorrow is July 4th, and I don't have work, so Victor and I will be practicing for a long long time.
So without further ado, I present to you - my 2005 Audi TT Roadster.





And the proof pic

Its a 2005 TT quattro with the 225hp 1.8T with 126k miles on the clock. Everything on it is good from what I can tell so far. Timing belt was recently replaced so don't need to worry about that for a while (will still get it checked out). The carfax shows 1 minor accident over 80k miles ago, but truth be told, I have no idea what was damaged. All the panels are original, and all the mechanics underside and in the engine bay look untouched. The passenger side headlight is clearly newer than the drivers side, so maybe that was hit and borken. There is one minor scuff on the passenger side, but its almost unnoticeable. There is evidence that the previous owner did leave the top down in the rain once - some discoloration on some plastic bits and rust on the seat rail - but all the exposed electronics work fine so I'm not too worried about that. Overall I'd give this car a 75/100, but I'm still really happy with it (yes, I know we only brought it home less than an hour ago).
Huge thanks thanks to Victor for putting up with all my bullshittery and helping me look at cars (and test drive them for me).
