1990 TT Auto LWB. My MOT is about to run out, I cannot afford to replace the discs and pads, which will need doing,(well defo the front ones, not sure bout the rear) My missus is chewing my arse to get rid as i have a scirocco sat in the garage not being used. (bit of a row just now - hence this thread) everything else is pretty sound with the car. I've only ever had work done by Zedworld

 

Its been chipped, has a blitz induction kit, single piece oval tipped mongoose blueflame exhaust. (zedworld)

 

Leather seats, leather interior retrim

 

17' 5 spoke alloys

 

Smoothed rear tailgate, smooth side skirts and a Greddy gracer smooth rear bumper extension (as sold by CarMad)

 

Check out my rides to have a look.

 

I don't want to do it, but i might have to just to prove a point.

 

I want to SORN it and deal with it when i have a bit of spare cash, but i would be interested to hear what you lot have to say.

 

Thanks for letting me vent a bit! :taz:

1990 not 1991

I am sure someone can donate you a set of use good TT disks. TBH, an auto TT with no MOT or Tax won't be worth much I'm afraid. :(

Hard to give you a value on it mate. Would come down to receipts for all the work done. Overall mechanical condition and driveability.

 

What do you think it is worth?

My point exactly - it would have to go out as a breaker, which would break my heart as it's in pretty good condition. low milage no rust (JeffTT said it was really clean underneath)

Well it looks tidy enough but as Si says an early Series 1 TT auto is not on many peoples most wanted list.

You havent had it long. What did you pay for it ?

paid £1500

 

spent bout £1000 i guess now - 2 trips to zedworld and a few body bits and wheels etc.

 

I am hoping someone has some discs to help me out.

I have some and I have just told you how to find them.:winkiss:

 

A car with 12 months MOT will be a much better selling proposition.

As a breaker a Series 1 Auto TT is not that lucrative. The world is awash with cheap breakers now.

you need to keep it mate someone must have spare discs

If you get stuck- just PM me and I'll find you a pair of used ones- just postage on condition you keep car together and don't break!

Again, I have spare discs too. Sell the scirocco. Problem solved. :thumbup:

Just sorn it mate. fook what she thinks. are you a man or a mouse :lol:

The Rocco is not worth more than £4-500 to be honest, and as i keep saying to her - for that sort of money i couldn't replace it so it's not going anywhere. (and it allows me to have the zed on classic 2nd car insurance - saving me bout £400 on ins premium)

 

Zed to get fixed in time and rocco to be used in the meantime.

Just sorn it mate. fook what she thinks. are you a man or a mouse :lol:

 

EEK EEK....

 

No Dave you are right, and after sleeping on it, there is no way in hell i shall be selling.

 

The "discussion " that we had last night which resulted in my thread was, on the surface about the cars, but things have been a bit tight money wise recently, and really it was about the fact that we cant afford a house at the moment, and we both want to get one together.

 

Also i had had a crappy day at work, so i didn't help myself by being up for a row anyway.

 

Anyway, gave her one this morning, she went off to work with a smile, which always helps :whistling:

I wouldnt get rid of it Paul, youve put too much into it recently and have loved every minute, you know you have.

I wouldnt worry about buying a house, its not yours till youve finished paying for it, they are not worth the asking price, the market is all over the place, getting a mortgage in the first place is a nightmare, you will need a far bigger deposit than you used to have to fork out, always the threat of losing it if you cant pay the mortgage, loan or tax bill.

 

Yes its nice to have a place to call your own, but its not the be all and end all.

 

I could go on and on, but its your decision at the end of the day, just weigh up the pro's and con's, selling the zed for whatever price aint gonna get you a house lol

 

All the best
