If
you want to talk deal,
pick up the phone
and make your serious offer.

I don't respond nicely to
lame messages such as:
"What's
your reserve?"
"What is your bottom line?"
"What's the least you'll take?"
"What is your bottom
dollar?"
"Do you have a
Buy-it-Now?"
"What's it take to buy
it?"
"What is you asking
price?"
I will not email
you a figure but we can talk about it.
It's a flippin' Auction! That means . . .
it's your
number that counts . . . not mine.
Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with
any of the above lame questions, I will immediately
assume that you(r):
•
have not
taken time to read the listing
•
have
zero intent to purchase
• are
clueless about relevant market values
• forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from
reality
26
years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers
read every line, look at every picture, research well
enough on their own and feel confident making a real
offer.
Our presentations are unequalled, on eBay or anywhere
else.
We are therefore, usually able to choose from among
quality buyers that actually want to
purchase a vehicle.
THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME!
My
vehicles are so unique and so rare,
knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible.
That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious
buyers making a serious offer.

Backstory
from the owner...
You are
looking for the nicest, best kept, best
maintained Audi TT Quattro Roadster you can
find. You are here because the quality
found in your neck of the woods, by even the
lowest standards, is a joke. I know
exactly how you feel. I attend specialty
and dealer-only auctions every week searching
for the best of the best in what me and my
assistant (Foy) like to call "niche autos."
I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each
week and select cars I've come to know are hard
to find and that fit my business model of
marketing exclusively on eBay.
All-wheel-drive Audis make it onto my own list
every time they show up and a very small number,
maybe 2 or 3 a month, will appear at one of the
three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or
perhaps in a local classified. During the
past seven years I've seen at least 20-30 TTs every
single year and what that means for you is; I have
looked at,
touched and smelled a lot of Audi TTs.
This TT is one of just a handful nice
enough for this business model and the very
first with mileage this
low. I am extremely picky about what to
buy. Past ownership, service history and
condition, condition, condition are what
matters. High end luxury vehicles are not
always treated well, but a precious few are
taken care of. This particular Audi is one
of those rare finds and you will not want to pass
it
up. Original and beautiful paint,
spectacular interior, extensive service history
and an absolute knock-out to see in person.
As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly
show how truly beautiful this car really is. What
else could you want? A great deal? I
have that covered too but you will not be
purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or
even low book value. You already know you
get what you pay for and if you want unmatched
quality, service, care and condition, this TT
is a super rare find. Read what Foy has to
say about his time driving this Audi and study
its maintenance history. (below) Examine
every picture in detail, see the amazing
condition, up close and personal and then make
your call and give me an offer. I promise,
you will not be disappointed.

Looove this red rocket.
Here is my new
daily driver and friends and neighbors, I am in loooove,
love love with this little red 2-seater. First up, the facts: 2001 Audi TT
Roadster Quattro with two previous owners (both in
Nevada; Lake Tahoe then Las Vegas) and a very low 47,461
miles. As you can see in the provenance below,
this gorgeous car has been faithfully serviced at Audi
dealerships since day one and throughout its life.
Careful ownership shows with a laser straight body,
spectacular paint and functional near perfection.
Obviously no 13 year old car is flawless but I struggle
to find another worthy description. On the way to
the grocery store (with the top down) my wife could
hardly believe when I told her it was a 2001.
"Unbelievable," she said, "put the top down." As
you wish, dearheart . . .

All-wheel-drive security and
performance.
At night, the dazzling ice white xenon
headlights are an up-market reminder that this is a high-end
German performance cruise missile. Quattro all-wheel-drive gives the TT
incredible handling and provides peace of mind in
conditions like snow packed roads. Electronic
Differential Lock (EDL) sends power to the wheels with the
most traction and provides an extra measure of
security for this stunning convertible . . .
Celebrity good looks, real sports
car credentials.
I cannot tell you how addicted I've become
to spooling up the turbo at about 2,500 RPM and zinging
through first, second and third gear. The 6-speed
manual transmission snicks with satisfying precision and the
clutch/shift interface becomes second nature after just a
few miles. It has turned my morning work commute into
something I actually look forward to. This is an easy car to feel competent in .
. .
0 to fun in 8-seconds flat.
Turn one handle and a single button push
lowers the fabric top in about 8-seconds. A semi-hard
boot can be installed and locks firmly in place. Also,
check out the panel seams; consistent and tight because of
no accidents and no hits . . .
Yes, they're real.
The brushed aluminum hoops are functional
roll bars, besides looking absolutely fantastic. Go
ahead, it's okay to touch . . .
Rear spoiler, twin exhaust and really
cool tail lights, flush with the body. I like it . . .
Audi likes to keep exterior decorations to
a minimum, letting the body work-of-art speak for itself . .
.
Looks good, topless, or not.
The TT is among the very few convertibles
that looks sharp even with its soft top up. The glass
rear window has electric defrost and the top is snug fitting
and taut
. . .
Fast. Gets good mileage.
I didn't expect a car that accelerates
like this to get such great fuel mileage. EPA rated 20
in the city/28 on the highway, I'm actually getting close 30
MPG on my daily 20-mile journey to work.
Environmentally responsible and wicked pleasure too?
How often does that happen . . .
I want it.
Unlike just about every vehicle you've
ever owned and probably any in the future too, this 2001
Audi TT Roadster Quattro will be just as invigorating the
day you sell it, as it was the day the keys were first
dropped into your hand. Fun never gets old and real
fun is youth - at any age. That's basically
what I'm left with after living with this wonderful car a
few days. Life is life and it hasn't made my problems
disappear but this little red Audi is Xanax for the soul.
Whatever the mood and however challenging things are,
everything looks better from behind the wheel of a powerful
convertible. This powerful convertible has been
loved and taken care of its entire life and has the
documentation to prove it. The body is exquisite, the
paint gorgeous and the interior looks like new. During
my time with the car it has been a functional gem and I
haven't yet found a single thing that does not work. (except
the glove box latch) Love, love, love this car and
with 47,000 miles, somebody is going to score one hell
of an awesome Audi . . .
Wind deflector.
Another thing that totally rocks about
this car is its power glass wind deflector. Too
many expensive convertibles (Boxster, for example) have a Plexiglas
type wind blocker that snaps in place manually,
or a fussy aftermarket unit that doesn't fit at all and ends up
scratched, unused and a chew toy for Fido . . .
With the deflector up, wind buffeting is
significantly reduced and it is barely noticeable. At
the touch of a button you can power the window down,
completely out of sight.
Can you see it there on the right? Didn't think so . .
.
Killer cabin and room for big folk.
When my boss (Doug, the guy you should be
calling about this car 702-353-7500) told me to take this TT,
he said that if it was too tight a fit don't worry about it.
I'm 6'5' and (ahem) not thin so, his concerns were valid I
suppose. Truth is I fit just fine, in no small part
due to a multi-adjustable seat and a tilt/telescopic
steering wheel. More important perhaps is, I want to
be in here. I kind of wish the accelerator was
a little further to the right but it does make heel-and-toe
throttle blips Indy-Car easy. Shifter and steering
wheel placement are near perfect and it has a great dead
pedal. The low miles of course, means everything seems
practically new and my wife thinks it even smells . . .
Praise be to the seats.
Can't say enough about these unbelievable
seats and they are probably the best manual (or power for
that matter) perches I've ever experienced. I bring
home a lot of different cars and this TT is the first time
my wife has commented about how much better her back feels
while riding in this car. On an almost warm evening
the other night, she also liked having her seat heater on
with the top down - an important plus for a convertible that
never occurred to me before.

A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high
quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve
been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize
in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that
were cherished by their previous owners. I have an
experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my
preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I
have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably
won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of
business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort
to create such an organization and often, an unusually high
investment in a particular car we are about to list. To
sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my
corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point
inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes
their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that
everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back
to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy
customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it
allows my writer to describe the car with ease and
confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the
cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else
tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey
equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the
very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a
logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with
close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed
views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a
lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty
of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.
Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so
meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take
several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially
prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each
car lovingly receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If
it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4
you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will
hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system
and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many
“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I can
convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or
feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I
say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay
in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every
buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on
eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that
are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought
it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is
sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most
accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If
you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that
number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
