5k really is pushing it for a pre-facelift methinks.

That one is in Ireland a lot longer than most FTOs going by the reg. I think I know who owned it before, guy was the longest standing FTO owner in Ireland at one stage. It is genuinely one Irish owner. Think he traded it in for an A5 or something years ago.
It's not worth 5k though, but values will rise, and have risen in the last few years for them as classic insurance gets more realistic and numbers on the road dwindle.

Are you thinking of Kace? Have a picture of his. The reg is different.

Yeah, I thought it was his.

That FTO was for sale about 3-4 weeks ago from a dealer for €1500 asking.

You'd get a very well sorted 01 TT with €2500, €9k seems insane for the sake of some purple wrap. Would 285bhp actually be possible with no supporting mods?

Even at that it still seems a bit steep!

I've seen that car.. looks quite tidy (yeah I still mean the car) but the purple "creeping goggles" windscreen tint is hmmm.. not to my taste. It may be the reason they only have night time shots of the car!

I bet the rubbing on the wheel arches gets really old really fast when driving that.

You'd think wouldn't you? T'would have me driven bonkers within a day, but it seems by the laws of owning a German car in Ireland ( the SumpUndArschenScrapin laws) the more country your roads are, the closer your sump must be to the ground.

Leaving my personal aversion to scraping bumpers or wheelarches on standard roads aside:
It's different ( in a world of a bajillion lookalikey modded A4s/passats/golfs) and it looks to be well executed. At least what's shown in those photos - but you'd have to see the windscreen tint in the day.

Pricewise... :eek:

The thing about the whole lowered thing i love is the lads with the stickers shouting about their lowness are usually like standard height or maybe on a 30mm drop. Not actually low!

But yet you get "sorry, avoiding potholes"
"SLAMMED" etc. .

Always makes me laugh

I guess when you're running extra wide wheels/tires which most would be for a "stance" any drop can see you rubbing on arches pretty quick, especially on a car that was low from the factory.

Wasn't saint it about that car though, that is low in fairness, I'm taking about the golfs hacked into the clouds on 18's and then lowered 30mm.
So essentially standard height once again.
Then spouting about how low the car is etc

Sorry just ranting about something that gets to me

Really like these yokes as they're so well put together and they really are massive inside. Mid engined and rwd too! But 2.5k is a long ways off, the main draw of them is the fact they're so cheap at the moment and at 900+ a year to tax they're not the cheapest to run.

Photo is not of the car....... the suspense alone makes me want to buy it.

whats with people saying "starts first time" is that some sort of bonus? Are some people impressed if they buy a car that starts first time

FFS how the hell can that ever be a selling point to put in an ad?
