MK1 Audi TT 3.2
Discussion
Greetings fellow PH rs.
I’ve had this a few months and figured it was time to share some pics.
I’ve always loved the design of these, with the best looking iteration being the late model V6.
I picked it up remotely having the dealership just send me some videos and picture. I m in Orange County and the car was in Portland so getting up there was tricky.
Having said that, it was so mint that I was willing to take the risk and it was pretty cheap ($9k) so figured it was worth a punt. She s on 115k miles.
It s a 3.2 with an auto (manuals didn t come here). Which makes it a bit more of a cruiser but that 3.2 is oh so glorious. The sound, even in stock form is something to behold.
She arrived at my house on the back of a transporter which caused a scene in the neighborhood!
She was filthy from the transport and barely started, so we kicked off with a good clean.
Then after a quick shake down run and inspection it turns out she really was as mint as was claimed. Couple of stone chips that I couldn t see in the videos, but the dealer was honest and told me about them.
The interior is utterly mint and looks like it s done 30k.
Next job was a smog test and registration in California which was very straightforward.
Then frankly.. just enjoying it and hitting the car scene here in So Cal.
Next up is some new tires.. so I figured also a good time to get some new wheels as I don t like the OEM ones.
Tires and fitting some next week, then I think a very subtle drop on some lowering springs to finish the look.
Will keep the thread updated!

Looks fantastic! Always liked the shape of these, when they were launched they were like nothing else at the time. Audi were really on top of their game at the time.
We had a black one (1.8 model) a few years ago, it was a bit small for me but the seats were really comfy and the interior really ages well.
Look forward to seeing any more pictures that you post! We don’t see many from across the pond so nice to see some different scenery and car culture!
