Thanks guys,

Lovely colour, but too much money. Would look nicer on stock 17"s, and would benefit having a stock spoiler IMO.

Lovely colour, but too much money.

I agree. There's plenty of "reasonable" auto TT's for that money.

I would be very reluctant to buy a car which has been sprayed a none standard colour, has it been done properly, engine bay painted and all the other inconvenient places?

I'm of the same opinion as the others. Its a nice car and looks very clean. As long as it has all been done properly and is above board then it looks like a cracking car. It IS a bit pricey though. I would be spending a maximum of 3.5k. Nice low mileage example though, if its all as it appears.

Trying to arrange a viewing of this car,if it is mint what would you guys offer??

Start off with 3k, if he laughs just tell him that it IS a mint example but you see these cars going for 2k all the time. Tell him that 4.5k is tubby money. Work your way up to your maximum, that can only be determined by yourself

Nice one,you know how to strike a hard bargain.

I think you have a good game plan there.Will see if he gets back in touch with me.

It is painted in a non standard TOYOTA colour, but is painted in an AUDI standard colour. I was expecting flip paint job!

Lovelly car but take scotts advice and go in low to start with

Very nice colour, but not liking the rest. WAY to expensive for a 5spd NA, £3k would be too much IMO. A lot would depend on the rest of the car, if it's nice then it's worth a try, but the repaint does hint that it might not have been a pretty car before, especially as the rest of the car doesn't match the nice paintwork,

You seem pretty unimpressed Homer,you think it may have been a bit of a dog before?

Will have a look on the weekend and will let you all know what the condition of the car is and take some pics of the engine bay and other stuff.

Without seeing it, it's impossible know, but for me sets off some alarm bells. Usual precautions and all that, but best to make those extra checks for sign of damage in case that's the reason for the repaint. It might all be genuine, but I always assume a car is wreck, then look for signs to prove otherwise

Very very good advice there
