"What is your bottom line?" "What's the least you'll take?" "What is your bottom dollar?" "Do you have a Buy-it-Now?" "What's it take to buy it?" "What is you asking price?" I will not email you a figure but we can talk about it. It's a flippin' Auction! That means . . . it's your number that counts . . . not mine. Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with any of the above lame questions, I will immediately assume that you(r): • have not taken time to read the listing • have zero intent to purchase • are clueless about relevant market values • forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from reality 26 years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers read every line, look at every picture, research well enough on their own and feel confident making a real offer. Our presentations are unequalled, on eBay or anywhere else. We are therefore, usually able to choose from among quality buyers that actually want to purchase a vehicle. THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME! My vehicles are so unique and so rare, knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible. That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious buyers making a serious offer. 2001 Audi TT Roadster Quattro VIN: TRUUT28N211027416 Odometer: 47,461 Engine: 1.8 Liter DOHC Turbocharged Inline 4-Cylinder Transmission: 6-Speed Manual Exterior: Amulet Red (LY3C) Interior: Aviator Gray (N3Q/JT) Built: December, 2000 - Gyor, Hungary Over 145 high resolution pictures below.

You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained Audi TT Quattro Roadster you can find. You are here because the quality found in your neck of the woods, by even the lowest standards, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what me and my assistant (Foy) like to call "niche autos." I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. All-wheel-drive Audis make it onto my own list every time they show up and a very small number, maybe 2 or 3 a month, will appear at one of the three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps in a local classified. During the past seven years I've seen at least 20-30 TTs every single year and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched and smelled a lot of Audi TTs. This TT is one of just a handful nice enough for this business model and the very first with mileage this low. I am extremely picky about what to buy. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. High end luxury vehicles are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of. This particular Audi is one of those rare finds and you will not want to pass it up. Original and beautiful paint, spectacular interior, extensive service history and an absolute knock-out to see in person. As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly show how truly beautiful this car really is. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or even low book value. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service, care and condition, this TT is a super rare find. Read what Foy has to say about his time driving this Audi and study its maintenance history. (below) Examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Doug - Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc. Looove this red rocket. Here is my new daily driver and friends and neighbors, I am in loooove, love love with this little red 2-seater. First up, the facts: 2001 Audi TT Roadster Quattro with two previous owners (both in Nevada; Lake Tahoe then Las Vegas) and a very low 47,461 miles. As you can see in the provenance below, this gorgeous car has been faithfully serviced at Audi dealerships since day one and throughout its life. Careful ownership shows with a laser straight body, spectacular paint and functional near perfection. Obviously no 13 year old car is flawless but I struggle to find another worthy description. On the way to the grocery store (with the top down) my wife could hardly believe when I told her it was a 2001. "Unbelievable," she said, "put the top down."

At night, the dazzling ice white xenon headlights are an up-market reminder that this is a high-end German performance cruise missile. Quattro all-wheel-drive gives the TT incredible handling and provides peace of mind in conditions like snow packed roads. Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) sends power to the wheels with the most traction and provides an extra measure of security for this stunning convertible . . . Celebrity good looks, real sports car credentials. I cannot tell you how addicted I've become to spooling up the turbo at about 2,500 RPM and zinging through first, second and third gear. The 6-speed manual transmission snicks with satisfying precision and the clutch/shift interface becomes second nature after just a few miles. It has turned my morning work commute into something I actually look forward to. This is an easy car to feel competent in . . . 0 to fun in 8-seconds flat. Turn one handle and a single button push lowers the fabric top in about 8-seconds. A semi-hard boot can be installed and locks firmly in place. Also, check out the panel seams; consistent and tight because of no accidents and no hits . . . Yes, they're real. The brushed aluminum hoops are functional roll bars, besides looking absolutely fantastic. Go ahead, it's okay to touch . . . Rear spoiler, twin exhaust and really cool tail lights, flush with the body. I like it . . . Audi likes to keep exterior decorations to a minimum, letting the body work-of-art speak for itself . . . Looks good, topless, or not. The TT is among the very few convertibles that looks sharp even with its soft top up. The glass rear window has electric defrost and the top is snug fitting and taut . . . Fast. Gets good mileage. I didn't expect a car that accelerates like this to get such great fuel mileage. EPA rated 20 in the city/28 on the highway, I'm actually getting close 30 MPG on my daily 20-mile journey to work. Environmentally responsible and wicked pleasure too? How often does that happen . . . I want it. Unlike just about every vehicle you've ever owned and probably any in the future too, this 2001 Audi TT Roadster Quattro will be just as invigorating the day you sell it, as it was the day the keys were first dropped into your hand. Fun never gets old and real fun is youth - at any age. That's basically what I'm left with after living with this wonderful car a few days. Life is life and it hasn't made my problems disappear but this little red Audi is Xanax for the soul. Whatever the mood and however challenging things are, everything looks better from behind the wheel of a powerful convertible. This powerful convertible has been loved and taken care of its entire life and has the documentation to prove it. The body is exquisite, the paint gorgeous and the interior looks like new. During my time with the car it has been a functional gem and I haven't yet found a single thing that does not work. (except the glove box latch) Love, love, love this car and with 47,000 miles, somebody is going to score one hell of an awesome Audi . . . Wind deflector. Another thing that totally rocks about this car is its power glass wind deflector. Too many expensive convertibles (Boxster, for example) have a Plexiglas type wind blocker that snaps in place manually, or a fussy aftermarket unit that doesn't fit at all and ends up scratched, unused and a chew toy for Fido . . . With the deflector up, wind buffeting is significantly reduced and it is barely noticeable. At the touch of a button you can power the window down, completely out of sight. Can you see it there on the right? Didn't think so . . . Killer cabin and room for big folk. When my boss (Doug, the guy you should be calling about this car 702-353-7500) told me to take this TT, he said that if it was too tight a fit don't worry about it. I'm 6'5' and (ahem) not thin so, his concerns were valid I suppose. Truth is I fit just fine, in no small part due to a multi-adjustable seat and a tilt/telescopic steering wheel. More important perhaps is, I want to be in here. I kind of wish the accelerator was a little further to the right but it does make heel-and-toe throttle blips Indy-Car easy. Shifter and steering wheel placement are near perfect and it has a great dead pedal. The low miles of course, means everything seems practically new and my wife thinks it even smells . . . Praise be to the seats. Can't say enough about these unbelievable seats and they are probably the best manual (or power for that matter) perches I've ever experienced. I bring home a lot of different cars and this TT is the first time my wife has commented about how much better her back feels while riding in this car. On an almost warm evening the other night, she also liked having her seat heater on with the top down - an important plus for a convertible that never occurred to me before. 1.8 Liter DOHC Turbocharged Intercooled Inline 4-Cylinder 225 horsepower @ 5,900/207 ft-lb torque @ 2,200-5,500 RPM Assembly line new undercarriage.

Original owner books. Pre-delivery inspection/in-service date. Dealer service visits. A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if their values were not real but their figures are averaged for the entire nation. If this car is less than or better than this average, bid or offer accordingly.
