Some of you guys kill me. LOTS of people on this forum say not to let your tt become a garage queen, drive it like you stole it etc. So here we have an 07 with less than the national average of miles driven per year and people are calling the milage to high? Get it together folks, otherwise the double bind of not driving the tt too little is directly against the elusive number of miles that is too much.

The other point is to turn down an 07 tt for a non tt so you can get the new computer display? PHOOOEY.
By the way I vote for getting the 07 tt if it checks out and is still under warranty which it should be.

I dont think anyone is saying 12k is high in absolute terms, just that for a TT it is high. I agree - drive them all you can, but when talking about the market most TTs have fewer miles than 12k per year. Price and mileage have a correlation is all we are saying, more miles = lower price - no one is making a statement on driving your car vs not driving it. I drive all my cars and put decent miles on them.

Just because we drive the car as a daily driver, doesn't mean we want to buy one that has the miles.

Joking aside...the mileage on the odometer is pretty minimal...and if the price were right, wouldn't dissuade me from purchasing.

definitely-that is what everyone means-they want to buy a low mileage car, not have a low mileage car.
