TT for sale on Facebook

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

TT for sale on Facebook

Saw this listed on marketplace this morning.

No MOT
O/S rear arch & sill in quite a state
O/S rear reflector missing
Door bottoms rotting out (both sides)
Pop-ups are stuck (new motors included with sale)
Black door mirror caps(?)
Gauge cluster including info centre are goosed by the looks of it.
Rear wiper in wrong resting place suggests the tailgate wiring is knackered.
Spot of rust underneath left taillight
Tow bar suggests this has been a towing vehicle at some point.
Needs exhaust back box fitting.
Been off the road for almost 5 years
Limited Edition badge missing the 'L' (literal unobtanium)


Despite this,

Front spoiler is present and in remarkably good shape
Taillight lenses and front indicator/DRLs are crack free and not terribly faded
Interior in very good condition
Only 52k miles
Paintwork in decent shape overall
Best colour


This car definitely has potential, but just needs the rust sorting out - apart from that its just minor things, really. I do think the seller is asking way too much. £1500 is almost what I paid for mine. This would need another 1500 at least just to get it roadworthy.
