tooquicktostop Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think an Auto TT is not out of the question for your 4K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhicks22 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Neither NA or TT is particularly economical. Combined driving you're probably looking at 20-24mpg in a TT (based on my experience) and probably a bit more in an NA (although I don't think it's massively better). My 8 mile journeys to and from work in a TT auto get me about 14mpg but that's because of traffic and short distance. Performance wise, an NA should get you 0-60 in around 6.5s and a TT in about 5s. I don't think there are definitive figures but they seem to be generally accepted as being about right (I think). 4k should get you a nice NA Welcome along, by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get a lot more choice on an NA for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 definately look for a N/A manual that way when money comes round you could always do a N/A-T swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 definately look for a N/A manual that way when money comes round you could always do a N/A-T swap At large expense and reduced reliability, not to mention costing a fair bit to do correctly (something which he doesn't seem to have are particularly 'deep pockets'). I'd recommend getting a tidy n/a manual and sticking with it OR if you really want a TT...save up some more cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have been offered this one in a deal...what do you think ? i know its not a manual which i would prefer but i'm tempted. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/826336.htm I would say that is overpriced for a 94 NA auto...... My friend picked up a 96 facelift manual for £4100..... Have a bit of patience and look for a really tidy car and then bargain on the price..!! H.

mustang Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Take a look on the classified section of the club, thats where I found mine. Generally speaking they're better looked after and probably a more honest ad. For 4k you will be looking at a decent TT auto if you're patient and prepared to travel to look at a few cars. I'd reccomend looking for a facelift 6spd NA, you should be able to get a mint one within you're budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
