AWESOME 2008 AUDI TT 3.2L COUPE 6-SPEED MANUAL!

I purchased this car new in August of 2007 from Flemington Audi in Flemington, NJ and it is in beautiful condition.  It has always been kept in a garage, always filled with name-brand gas, always dealer-serviced and nobody has ever smoked while riding in it.  It has never been in an accident of any kind.  Its exterior color is “Brilliant Black” with dark grey leather/Alcantara interior.  You can pick through the equipment list (see the picture of the window sticker) but here are some highlights:

  • 3.2 liter 250 hp engine, AWD (obviously) 
  • 6-speed manual transmission
  • 18” wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Tires (replaced 20,000 miles ago at 69,192 miles on the Odo) (Lot’s of tread left- see pic). 
  • Bi-Xenon Adaptive (steering) headlights
  • The car has a build in Bluetooth voice-dial system which works great with my iPhone 4s.  It allows me to dial numbers and names by voice command and works really well.  The phone conversation sound through the car stereo is excellent.
  • ESP, ASR, ABS, TPS
  • LED turn signals, turn signals built into side mirrors
  • Heated 10-way-motorized sport seats (awesome!)
  • 9-speaker, 140 watt sound (and it does sound very good!)
  • Auto-dimming mirror, automatic windshield wipers
  • 2+2 seating and fold down rear seats (I have no problem putting skis or my full-size road bike in this car with the front wheel off)
  • Lot’s of airbags (never needed, thank goodness)
  • This car came with a really lame “iPod Interface” which I paid $250 for and is basically worthless.  I have had a harness installed that plugs into my iPhone and lets me charge and play music, podcasts, etc. through the stereo.  I have also designed and built a flexible “stalk” mount to hold my phone, but I’m taking that with me.  You get to keep the cable harness for your phone.  I will cover the four tiny holes I drilled with four small black screws, so that will look fine.
  • I have all documentation (including manuals, the window sticker and service records and these will be turned over to you 
  • I’m pretty fussy about all of my stuff, so this car has been kept up pretty meticulously.
  • I have included pictures of the odometer reading and VIN number.
  • I have gotten up to 28 mpg on the one or two long highway trips I have taken with this car.  Its main use is for daily commuting to work- 30 miles each way- and I usually get about 21 mpg.  The original EPA rating was 17/24 (see pic).

Current mileage (as of 11/15/2013) is 88,931 miles.  VIN # TRUDD38J681011195

Why am I selling it?  Because I am a manual transmission fanatic.  If I wait another couple of years before buying my next car, there may be no more manuals left.  As it is, I could no longer replace this car with a new manual TT.  (The ONLY manuals left in the US Audi line are the base level A4, the R8, and the S4.  And yes I am replacing this car with a new S4.  You might have noticed that I have become a pretty big Audi fan).

Here’s what works on this car: Everything!!

Here’s what you should know is not perfect:

  • Yes, I have scuffed the wheels a few times against curbs.  I’ve tried hard not to, but you know how that goes.  (My wife says it just looks stupid to leave the car 3 feet from the curb).  It’s pretty minor- see the wheel pic for a typical scuff.
  • There is a small ding on the passenger-side door at the crease right below the mirror.  If you look closely at the pic, you can see it.
  • There is some scuffing on the corner of the rear bumper below the crease.  I tried to get it in the photo but it really doesn’t show.
  • There is some minor road rash (white specks) along the front bumper as there would be on any car that is 6 years old
  • There is some light scuffing damage on the edge of the driver’s side seat leather.  This is from me sliding against it every time I get into the car.  (see the picture).  It probably could be polished back to new by someone who knew what they were doing.
  • It is due for a routine service (basically just oil-and-filter and a bunch of checking).  Factory service was done at Flemington Audi every 10,000 miles per requirements.


Repairs that have been done on this car:

  • The dealer fixed a minor windshield rattle under warranty
  • the was a recall/fix involving the fuel tank
  • a dead audio amp was repaired under warranty
  • a bad ESP sensor was repaired under warranty
  • a headlight bulb was replaced
  • a serpentine drive belt self-destructed and damaged a pulley and tensioner (at 62k miles)
  • the driver’s side window mechanism was replaced (at 65k miles)
  • front brake pads and rotors were replaced at 76k miles.  I believe brakes were also replaced earlier but I can’t find a record on that.
  • routine dealer servicing was performed every 10,000 miles up to 75,000 miles

I am a straight-shooter, and you can bid with confidence.  I have bought and sold on EBay many times over the years (including a couple of cars) and I have never received any real negative feedback whatsoever. (I once received “negative feedback” for not posting feedback on an item that I bought, but EBay does not allow that kind of nonsense any longer.)

I will require cash or a bank cashier’s check and ID at pickup.  I require a deposit of $1,500 by cash, bank cashier’s check, or Paypal within 48 hours after the auction closes.  You must pay the balance and pick up the car within 7 days after the auction closes.

The “sunset” pics may be a bit over the top, but I had fun taking them and thought you might enjoy seeing them too!

The TT must be picked up in person in Pennington, NJ.  You will have to bring plates to drive it home.

When you come to pick up the car, I will be happy to go with you for a drive on a variety of nearby roads.  If this drive shows up any mechanical problems, I will return your deposit and you will be under no obligation to buy the car.

Other than this caveat, however: If you are the winning bidder on this car, you are legally obligated to follow through on the purchase!

MY RESERVE PRICE IS $18,450 ON THIS CAR.  I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY LESS FOR THIS CAR.  SURE, IF NOBODY WILL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER ANOTHER LISTING OR TWO, I WILL LOWER THE PRICE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A FAIR PRICE FOR A MANUAL TT IN THIS CONDITION.

If you have any questions, please email me.  Good luck on your bidding.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise

Thu, Jan 10 2019

Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.

VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak

Tue, Jan 27 2015

The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
