Speed1- you got it! The car in Portland! I am looking at a couple other cars but talked to the owner Paul today actually. it's still for sale!

 

I wouldn't buy an auction car with 5 other owners. Don't rush into this, there are more out there in better condition, lower miles, less owners, etc. I looked for 9 months and was extremely picky and ended up scoring a gorgeous 2007 GT Silver with black interior, loaded, 6 speed, with 1800 miles on it. Bought it back in 2009 and saved lots of money at the time. You might like the terrocotta interior but that is going to be a negative feature if you decide to sell. May be one of the reasons it went to auction. I believe desireable cars never get to auction. Higher mileage cars with multiple owners do. Just my 2 cents...

 

What a great looking TT.

 

Well said. I've given up on this car an appreciate everyone's input!l
