Thoughts on 2007 TT with 32K miles

I was originally looking for a C4S and came across a 2007 TT with 32K miles, CPO from a dealer. Obviously I will get a full PPI before I consider closing, however the price seems great (70K) and with the CPO I feel pretty good about the warranty/repairs. Is the mileage anything to worry about. My research says no but as owners, what do you think? Thanks.

Edit.

Car has, PCCB, Sport Chrono, Heated Seats..... need to check on LSD.

not an owner (wish i was one), but that price does seem good with a cpo....does it have a good equipment set and color combo?

I have 08 TT Cab with 31K miles on it. No issues at all. The car actually started to run better after 20K miles. Doesn't burn oil, everything works great.
I plan to continue using it as my daily driver for a long time.
Some people park them and are affraid to put miles on them. Thats OK however, how great is it to enjoy driving this car each and every day!!
I love it!!!

Mine has 27000 miles and runs great. It all depends of the way the former owner treated it I guess but these cars are well built. If you have CPO on top of that for 70k then it is a good deal.

Options List:

6 CD Changer
Black Floor Mats (is this really an option?)
Ceramic Comp. Brakes
Multi Stage Heated Front Seats
Sport Chrono Package

Am I missing anything considered "must have"?

Buy it, enjoy it, and let the Mods begin.

My 07 has 30K with no problems so far

My '07 turned 45,000 miles yesterday. car has been awesome. Another member, TT surgeon daily drives his into NYC, is a track junkie and must have at least 60,000 miles on his.

If it passes inspection go for it. the only thing some may say would be a "must have" option is the limited slip diff.

make sure they give the brakes a good looking over - they are very expensive to replace. See what % pad thickness is left.

Damn...for $70K you are getting a fantastic car.
These cars are bullet proof...don't sweat it...that's still relatively low miles.

I would do it for that price. I paid a fair bit more and mine was 26k on the clock with CPO.

PCCB - make sure the rotors are in good condition. If the car has not been tracked they should be good for a 100k. Mine look like new!

70K, CPO turbo with those options? what are you waiting for, someone else to buy it? lol. Assuming PPI and DME checks out fine, I wouldn't worry about the mileage.

Guys, this thread is about 4 months old. I passed on this car due to the prior owner going with the "murdered out" look. Black wheels, tinted lights, tinted windows, etc. and when I went to see it the car was not what I was looking for.

However, there is a 2007 Slate Grey with 12k miles sitting in my garage.
