So I am thinking maybe I want another Turbo.....

seems that I can pick up an 02 cheap with 5k miles or so and for a liitle money now throw on the GT2 nose and Tail I love - giac chip - k 24's and exhuast and I have got a super car again for around $100k

tempting -

i just cant see paying $140k + for a TT cab

I think only coupes are worthy of high HP....
I got a TT then got another one so understand your feeling...I guess its true that "there is no substitute"

I was only kidding - I love cabs cabs but would prefer an F-car...think 360 spider looks better than TT cab....Nothing beats top-down driving while simultaneously tanning

I say go for it! You can be on the right side of upside-down. Now all you have to do will be to keep it for a few years.

You're a cab person! You'll end up buying a coupe and the first nice day this spring you'll wish you'd bought a Cab. Been there, done that!

Agreed

I would get the TT with 5K. The cab will be 90K in a year. Put the 50K in to the TT.
