shao_khan Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'd expect it to be depending upon how they pitch it at iro £27 - £28k in line with S3 pricing for similar performance car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject to the price not being as extortionate as above, I would be interested in a TT-S next year. Any news yet? Has it been shown at Frankfurt?

[/ QUOTE ] Possibly, but to get a decent spec Cayman (with similar power) you'd need the S which is about 10K more than the £36K I mention. Seriously, I would be stunned if it is much less when you look at the price of the (fwd) 2.0T and the 3.2 quattro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 THe thing is that a decent spec S3 is £30k, so for the TTs to be another £5k on top of that it is going to have to be a special car. I keep looking at Used TTRs see them at £40k plus - sorry but my mindset still says - 'How much - its only a TT, not a Porsche' and I think they run a serious risk of that with the TTS.

Gren Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm expecting it to be similar in price to the 3.2 - a bit more power but without the 'prestige' of the V6. Unless there were a lot more extras as standard that is - xenons, suspension etc. Anything much over 30k for a decent spec car (metallic, Bose, mag suspension) and I may start looking at other options........Z4 coupe is only £32k from memory, few more buys you a Cayman as many others have said. Both have around the same power output and are arguable more special (or at least rare). Regarding the 'lower' models and their price, remember Audi dropped the price on the MkI after a couple of years. They may see it as the right time to drop prices by a grand or so.

AZURES3 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Isn't the 3.2 V6 going to be dropped soon though ? AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiefox Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 TTS will "likely" have magnetic ride as standard, two tone extended leather as standard, lowered 10mm on current ride height, DRLs like on the R8, two special colours available only on the TT-S, sports seats, and various other goodies. It will "likely" book around £36K with the proposed TT-RS topping the 40K mark. It will be a very different animal to the 3.2 Mk TT IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Ah yes the price............ don't know that one yet From looking at the price of the S3 when it came out it was approx the same price as the s-line A3 3.2 so I am hoping that the TTS will follow the trend and be around the 30K mark.

[/ QUOTE ] And herein lies my Problem - its only a TT - that kind of money means that with little more I could have a Z4M or Cayman - both look better and either means you dont have to use Audi Aftersales.

Merlot Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I would take a TTS over a 2.7 Cayman anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair_A3 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 you could get a lightly used 3.4S Cayman for 36k, thats what i'd go for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new S5 is cheaper for crying our loud. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 TBH and I know I'll get slated for saying this but: £36k TT vs £36k Cayman - Ok I'll take the latter because it has a far better badge on it, will probably be a more rewarding drive (might be slower) and will probably sound nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge, massively more rewarding to drive, faster and sounds stunning - especially with the popular option of the factory Porsche sport exhaust.
