Why Now Is A Good Time To Buy A Audi TT In 2020

[@PELTOES1969]

I’ve had my 3.2 V6 manual for 8 years now. Best car I’ve had and still smile when i get in it. Lovely motor. 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks for your comment, the 3.2 v6 sounds amazing and is a lovely drive too. What colour is it?

[@TheParrottBros]

That’s brilliant! Nice to hear from someone who’s had a tt for that long 😎

[@paulrooney5831]

I love my tt bought it in Oct. 2019 Only used till march then we went on lockdown. So I sorned it.. I cud of sold so many times had lots of people wanting to buy it black with cream leather..but kept saying no I've not had any pleasure yet..any way I've now got it out an on the road had it sorned for 2 years..now am having fun its awesome cheers great video by the way ..

[@GuardsRed996]

I just love the TT 8N. It‘s timeless. I currently have a TTRS 8J but I want to get a 8N Roadster for the hot summer days.

[@TheParrottBros]

Now that is a seriously quick TT! Went out in one a while back as was super impressed with the performance. Nows the time to jump on one while the weather is still poor you’ll get a really good deal. Thanks for watching

[@GuardsRed996]

The Parrott Bro’s yes I know, I‘m really looking forward because the 8N is the best looking imo

[@stajaura]

Got one for sale soon if interested

[@thdremily]

Own an 05 TT 1.8T mk1, bought it from my parents and, yeah, it's beautiful, timeless design, has a decent amount of go and handles well, well enough for me anyway!

My love for cars has always been in s type jaguars. Last year I decided to buy a 2007 fsh 1 owner 2.0 TT. The previous lady owner had up graded on purchased in 2007 spending 7000 pounds. I paid 5k for it only 60.000 mls Amazing machine. This is. Red leather is beautiful and bodywork immaculate condition. Definitely it gona be in the family for a long TIME

I am very happy with my 2000 Audi TT Quattro 1.8. Still only 80,000kms. Just had to replace the steering wheel due to Takata Airbag recall. Had it replaced bought at a scrappers for AUD 200.00 or about GBP 100.00. No dramas with car besides usual servicing costs. A classic car.

[@Clodrock]

@@TheParrottBros Thank you. I noticed the center digital info display in the dashboard goes bad in a lot of MK1s that I’ve seen over the years, this ‘05 included. It’s still legible but some pixels are dead. Can this be easily replaced? It’s not a deal breaker, though.

They seem to be worth much more here in the states. You want one with 80k-100k miles it’s typically about $5k-$8k depending on the color and the motor. I have 3 of them right now and I love them! I have a denim blue 2001 225, a silver 2002 180 Quattro 5 speed, and a really rare 2004 papaya orange 180 automatic. Amazing cars for sure! Love the videos man keep them up! 👍

[@quietenglishman4179]

Yes, definitely the right time while there are still a few around in decent condition. They are deteriorating: you see some pretty shabby examples on the road. Neglected, really, but still redeemable. It's not a sports car but it drives nicely and has a solid feel. Mine's a 180 BHP FWD cheap version and quite fast enough to lose your licence. The interior is well screwed together and comfortable. It is, of course, mainly about the unique and lovely looks, so don't be tempted to mess about with it with after market "mods". Originality is everything with an 8N.

[@TheParrottBros]

Very well said, your right there is still a small amount of well looked after cars, a small amount of salvageable good cars that require moderate tlc, then there is the 7-10 owner, sub £1k cars that cost more to maintain yearly than they are worth. While I love the originality of the TT 8n I am adding a few alterations to enhance the performance and handling for what I’d like to use it for. Exterior wise I will keep it looking original. Thanks for your comment

[@quietenglishman4179]

@@TheParrottBros Your promotion of this special car is important and comes at just the right time. In fact, just in time as the number of decent examples diminishes. The original TT holds such a special place in the history of car design, it needs a strong following. We're not talking about modifying old Fiestas or Corsas which are good enough cars but hardly special. Of course, you're right: at the moment maintenance, tax and insurance (for younger people) do make TT ownership very expensive. I recently paid £500 to have the cambelt changed, for example. Keep up the good work.

[@mckav2358]

[@theearthingearthling5052]

Just bought an 02 quattro roadster with baseball glove interior for $1700 USD about a week ago. It has 200k miles the interior was trashed and already have another set of seats for it and it has some electrical issues I'm currently trying to work out. It just needs some TLC, the prices are going up on them here in the states. I was finding them wrecked for over $3000. A guy I know has 3 of them and he paid $2000usd for one one that the people lost the key and car was left outside for 3 years with the windows half down and not running. So hopefully I got a good deal and it's not a complete nightmare. Lol

[@TheParrottBros]

sounds like you got quite a good deal then! yeah in America the price is very quickly on the way up, is the interior salvageable? if you need any help with part numbers or spares im pretty good with finding info and know plenty breakers that post :)

[@RA30st08]

I got a salvage title for £400 at auction - exhaust had been ripped off and now replaced. Unfortunately on the test drive the PAS oil was squirting out the driver's side wheel :-O so used rack for £60 winging it's way to me now. Looking forward to doing all these mods of this video series!

[@TheParrottBros]

Wow that’s cool, at least if you spend a few hundred quid on it it won’t be the end of the world if you got it for a good price. Good quality secondhand genuine parts are sometimes better than new pattern parts. I would never use a secondhand sensor but for things like pumps racks etc it’s not a bad thing.

Nice Video. I own the 3.2 Roadster. Pearl Black exterior and red leather on the inside. All original and un messed with. It's a mk1 2005. Up to 115,000 miles but still runs great. Turning the key and listening to the engine always puts a smile on my face. Also like to drop a few cogs as I go through tunnels 😁. Keep thinking I might change it for a mk2 TTRS but not sure I should get rid of this. Could be a future classic.

[@TheParrottBros]

Thats it, the 3.2's sound epic when opened up, specially with the roof down through a tunnel im sure!! Its hard specially if you have had it for a while and cared for it, as you know likely to not get another like it. The TTRS is a totally different beast though, ive been out in a well modded one and WOW! haha

[@paulmcevoy5557]

Have had it for about 8 years now. I really do love it. For the low mileage that I do these days I think I may end up just keeping it. I am 55 now so not really a boy racer anymore, that said when the old girl does lift up her petticoat she can show a good pair of haels to most things on the road even today.. Its not like its losing money sat on the drive. Nice to chat. Regards Paul

[@luna454BB]

I remember a time pre pandemic where you could get TTs for REAL cheap out here. You could get some choice ones for under 7k. Rn it’s seems they’ve kinda inflated but I bet part of that is just how the used car market has kinda increased in price overall.

[@TheParrottBros]

Yeah for sure, the whole used car market is at an all time high as there is simply a shortage of cars, the TT's were on there way up price wise anyway as they hit there low and now the older ones that need too much work are being broken for parts, i would say if your still looking i would get one sooner rather than later

[@TheParrottBros]

Only 5! Must be a nice one 😂

[@gplusgplus2286]

Dude I love my TT. But if you buy a real lemon the repair bill can go to 5k before you know it. Clutch kit is more expensive than the 911, 600-700 for the full parts kit only. Turbo and mani may be cracked, auxilliaries, sensors etc some are expensive, 500-1000 for decent shocks and springs if they are knackered, plus about 300-400 per month for 98 fuel. None of the above would you buy used from the facebook group. Lovely car but certainly not cheap to keep in top shape. And you need at least 150 quid to fix these rear doors in the back seats to close properly :p

[@TheParrottBros]

They are great, however you are right if you don’t check that has the right service history and it hasn’t been loved then there is a good possibility you could buy a car that needs a lot more work than the value of the vehicle, This Nogaro blue one is exactly that, I will spend at least twice the value of the vehicle making it back to a good working order, that being said I have met loads of TT owners who have had to spend very little and have had their cars for long time. When your buying a Tt it’s important to check the service history, make sure it’s had all the relevant maintenance and repairs.

[@tec-to]

I wish it was the same story in the states. We have to pay so much more for used cars and parts :/

[@TheParrottBros]

I guess that’s how it goes, we feel the same when it comes to big block v8’s 😉

[@MrLexxmorelia]

Nice little cars, i was toying with the idea of one then I ended up going for a 330ci msport e46. I’d have been happy with either but the bmw looks won it for me. Same sort of price, rwd 3litre fun.

[@TheParrottBros]

Lewis Weightman can’t argue with that decision, I’ve had a few BMW’s including an e46 330ci for a good 2 years and enjoyed cruising around in it and always fun in the wet. The tt is a totally different animal 😊

[@MrLexxmorelia]

The Parrott Bro’s can imagine them being rather different, I was never huge on the backend looking the same as the front end of the tt but I must admit kind of like a tumour they grow on ya 😂, I hear they don’t do to badly on fuel? That’s the only issue I’m having with the 46 as a daily, can’t help but hear the engine note and I’m putting £40 fuel in every two days, Greta would love me 👍🏼😂 good video bud. Just thought I’d throw up another nice motor you can get for 2-3000. Good review.

[@TheParrottBros]

@@MrLexxmorelia Yeah they are pretty good as long as your not always sat on boost haha. I done 710 miles a couple weeks back and used 1.75 tanks costing around £100 and averaging 37mpg!! obviously thats quite a lot of motor way but my 330 never got near that lol. thanks buddy appreciate it

[@bearing40000]

I thought the later BAM engined 225bhp cars already had a ‘forged’ engine? Now I’m not so sure.

Joseph Merrick the Bam 225 usually comes with mahale pistons which are forged. But will require forged rods should you want to go past 300ft lbs

It currently has shortened shock, unbranded and apex 35mm lowering springs. Like the idea of coilovers but just wanted some comfort.

Am looking at a roadster 1.8T/225 or 3.2VR6 (engine sound is intoxicating & obviously more money), these are about double in Australia than what you're stating, but still such an underrated design & car IMO.

[@TheParrottBros]

It is a tough call as the 1.8 T is great for tuning potential however the 3.2 V6 sounds unbelievable, I guess it’s a slimmer choice of availability as well as the price being a lot higher? We are lucky in the UK as there is so many the prices are reasonable now. I agree it is an underrated design I think if more people were to drive them they would appreciate them a lot more

Aldo Jacobi I think it’s amazing specially if it has the matching steering wheel and kneepads, a very rare option over here too.

Mad considering it was built there, how popular are the MK1 Tt’s in Germany? That doesn’t sound too bad. Is it spoilerless on the back or was that late 98 models. Yeah defiantly worth covering the basics as that will pay off in the future
