Hi Guys,
So I know this isn't an Audi forum, but clearly we all enjoy fine cars, so I thought I would post this up here too.
The time has come – I’m searching for a S4 to fit our new baby in, so the TT must go.
2002 Audi TT ALMS Edition Misano Red over Silver Leather
1 of 500 in the US (Only 1500 built worldwide, of which only 1000 came to the US and only 500 in Misano Red)
47,800 miles
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Exceptional Condition – Zaino’d constantly. I literally have people stop me on the street to ask how I keep my car looking so nice.
Always garaged.
Never smoked in.
Every option (including Navigation, integrated phone, CD changer, Bose Stereo, Heated Seats, xenons, etc)
Always adult driven - zero performance modifications
Full clear bra (even on the mirrors, front part of roof, etc)
Tinted windows
Audi Rubber Floor Mats
3.2L Lower Valence (I also have the original which will be included)
Tires are in good condition (~60% of tread remaining) – Continental ContiExtreme Contacts
I am a stickler for the way I maintain my cars (I even pop the hood in the garage after driving it to let the heat off the turbos) – to that end, here is a list of all the recent maintenance:
Timing Belt (I changed it because of time, not miles)
Water Pump (done when I had the timing belt done)
Haldex fluid changed
New spark plugs
Fairly recent air filter (probably last 5k miles - I'd have to check my records to be sure)
Just serviced (~9500 miles left on computer countdown)
New gauge cluster (part of Audi gauge cluster settlement)
New fuel sending units
New Battery
Outside of the fuel gauge issues, the car has been bulletproof. When I had it in to the local Audi dealer for them to give me a trade-in offer, they rated the exterior a 10 and the interior a 10. No dents, door dings, etc
I have all three keys (two FOBs and the valet). All manuals.
In the interest of full disclosure, here are all the (super minor) issues with the car:
Each of the wheels has curb rash – it drove me nuts (the original owner apparently parked by feel), but everyone else thinks it is minor and that I’m nuts. Pictures are below.
The switch for the climate control fan speed is cracked.
There are three rock chips (extremely minor)
The clear bra is starting to peel on a few edges near the front fascia – you could always remove it.
Here is how I’ve come up with the price. I have a trade-in offer for $17,000 – while the dealer searches for the exact car I want, I wanted to give a fellow Audi fanatic an opportunity to own this car (I’d much prefer to have it go to one of you, versus the dealer). Figuring in sales tax benefits of trading it in (my sales tax is 7.4%), I’m looking to get over $18,300. The first offer over that gets the car.
If you aren't familiar with the ALMS edition, shoot me an email and I'll tell you all about it. 225HP, 6-speed manual, Quattro AWD (Haldex versus Torsion Quattro system) and 30+mpg on the highway.
For more information, feel free to email me at richpike1567 at hotmail dot com or call me on my cell phone at (719) 321-7730. If I don’t answer, leave me a voicemail and I’ll get back to you shortly.
