Audi TT 185 HP year 2000
55,000 Kilometers.

How reliable is this car?
Anything to look for?

 

That's only about 21,000 miles... Car isn't even broken in yet!
How much are they asking for it?

 

well wait..kilo's?? where are you loctated??

00's are bad in the us. you want to get a 01' + . also, you might want to spend the extra for the 225. Its a very different experiece that you will be happy you have.

 

How are 2000's bad? Back you're opinions up with some fact.....


I have a 2000 180hp quattro coupe, the instrument cluster needed to be replaced, and thats the only problem with the car that wasn't caused by the previous owners neglect/ignorance.

All Mk I TT's should have their timing belt replaced long before Audi suggests it, 60K miles seems to be the point where it becomes a gamble, other than that, you shouldn't expect anything out of the usual.

 

I also have an 00 model, but mine is the fwd 180. the previous owner replaced my guage cluster, but that's not a 2000 specific issue, thats more of a general TT issue. I also had a cel caused by a vacuum leak, but that's just a hose getting old and worn out. My car has almost 90k miles on it too, and that's really all that's happened. I do have a slight 2nd gear grind when slamming gears, but some redline MT90 tranny fluid helped a lot there, and it almost never happens anymore. I also hear that is specific to the FWD 5 speed tranny, and the quattros weren't really affected regardless of year.

IMO, you'll be just fine with it, especially with only 55,000 kilometers.
