I'm looking at this car (haven't test driven it yet, don't want to get
sucked into that vortex if unwise):
http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dd...ealer_id=79780

or a shorter link: http://tinyurl.com/328zzy

It's a 2004 TT in a fantastic color, but the mileage is high, so I'm
not sure if I should be buying this car as someone who holds and uses
cars for a long time. I was just going to keep my 98.5 A4Q 2.8 going
for a while longer, but this car is tempting me.

Any gotchas with this model or these specs?

Absolutely hideous color. Make them shave some off for that.

Orange peel effect? I'm sorry if I'm missing a joke here, or is this
a real issue of some kind with which I'm not familiar?

I realize most people will hate the color, but I like it (I also liked
that incredible lime green/yellow Audi used in the 100 series, so that
tells you something about my taste).

Aside from the color affecting resale, not an issue I'm worried about,
what else should I worry about?
