What do you supose is wrong with this one?
 
Link ==> Perfect Condition :::: 2001 Audi : TT 225 HP TURBO - Edmonton Audi Cars For Sale - Kijiji Edmonton <== Link

$6,800.00 for a "Perfect Condition" 2001 TT w/ chip and rims?

Something doesn't seem right. I emailed the seller asking for details. Either something is blown, it is stolen, it is a typo, or the person is insane.

Even if something is blown up, I would by it to fix everything wrong with my TT!

I'm guessing the owner is currently stationed in spain and as soon as you give them the money you can go pick it up at an air force base in florida... no scam

It almost doesn't matter what is wrong with it, for that price it is a steal. Probably a typo, he probably wants $16,800. At 120,000 km it has lots of life left in it. If it is $6800 just buy it.

It's a scam, look at the license plate, even though its blanked out it is clearly not alberian.

Re: What do you supose is wrong with this one?
 
You have better eyes than I do. Couldn't tell you anything about the plate.

It's worth a look. If I lived there I'd go have a peek at it.

Well just pop them an e-mail, bet you anything the car is nowhere near edmonton.

Re: What do you supose is wrong with this one?
 
I have already sent an e-mail. No reply yet though.

That's what I figure. I have a blown haldex on mine so I might as well buy that if something is wrong anyway...as long as it's not fwd too :-\

Re: What do you supose is wrong with this one?
 
The photo shows the dual exhaust, so it is a 225, and all 225's are Quattros (Haldex), so it's not the FWD. It does sound too good to be true though.

Yup, I just meant that it wouldn't make sense for me to get it if it was fwd, like mine due to haldex. I have the 'Quattro' too, but it isn't truly one right now.

Here's the thread where I posted the problems.
link =>https://www.audiforum.ca/general-aud...37196-awd.html <= link

And about getting the seats and inside doors..I haven't received an e-mail back and it has probably been about a week since sending, so I am assuming that I won't hear back. But if I do hear back, and for whatever reason the ad is legitimate and I do end up buying it, I will for sure let you know.

even if you get an email back I would ask for the VIN first. There are free checks on carfax if the car was a lemon or not. You'd have to pay $30 to see if it was stolen.

Re: What do you supose is wrong with this one?
 
hi, i was just reading through this thread and looked at the photos closely , and came to a conclusion that the car was not in Alberta when the photos were taken. What brings me to my conclusion is in 2 of the photos. 1- (rear end shot in park) there is a reflection on the door of the front end of an other car across the street that looks to have a front plate (though could be a vanity plate, hard to tell). 2- (RH shot of car with aftermarket wheels) there is a car parked in the background with what appears to be bluish green tinge plate definitely not our Alberta rose red. Though my observations may not mean that this car is not currently in Edmonton, i would definitely test drive before any rational decisions. But if the ad is true, thats a steal of a deal.

Re: What do you supose is wrong with this one?
 
It's obvious now that TT01 will probably never an get an e-mail response from the original seller. Quite a nice little mystery, please keep us posted.

Re: What do you supose is wrong with this one?
