now i got myself a pug 206 not so long ago as i figured it would be great as a first drive car. (i'm learning to drive now)

but i have just this second recieved a phone call off my uncle, who loves modding his cars, he wants to sell me his Audi TT Coupe 225, it's from 2002 51reg with 33,000 on the clock. this all means hardly anything to me, he has modded it with a simple body kit, spoiler and rs4 18 alloys(is that right?) and has started on the interior but not done much. i checked on what car prices and they said about £19,000 un modded, my uncle says he's going to sell it to me for £18,000, which i figure is a damn good deal. i have the money i was just wanting some input on this... should i or shouldn't i? <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

how old are you?

insurance?

if your under 25, then its going to be quite a bit.

yeh i realise the insurance is going to be huge just trying to check that out now. any ideas on the best places for insurance?

i also realise that i could get so many other cars for a lot lower price than that, but this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, no? i'm still in two minds.

i dont like TTs there a posers car not to my style mate its if you like it you buy it dont go by other people opinions when it comes to cars every1 will have a different one.

i say get it, if its a nice colour i.e. black grey or silver then go for it!!! just tint the windows slam it on hydraulics with chromes and chrome the engine bay!!! (if you can afford irt obviously) after the insurance kicks you in the nutts!

for the cost involved for everything it doesnt seem very realistic buying it, unless your absolutly minted.
would be nice tho <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions049.gif" />

well i won't say i'm not minted. but i wouldn't say i am. let's just say i'm comfortable.

thinking about all this though, the pros are it's a nice car already modded with full ice, it's cheaper than buying one new and modding it up, and it's in superb condition.

the cons are i think it might be a little too much too soon, and the insurance.

it's black btw, and i can afford it. i really don't know.

I'd get it, Tescos are good on insurance. TT's are quick/quicker than most buckets you could buy and mod for that kind of money, plus the insurance on a TT with light mods will be less than a Saxo with REALLY heavy mods. Ladies will love it too. If you're worried about wrapping it 'round a lamp-post,- I wouldn't, the 4x4 will keep you on the road unless you're going to be driving it like a total loon.

My advice would be to get an insurance quote, and if you can live with it, get it, you won't regret it. I'm 24 and insured on a group 20 car for under £1000 a year, so you never know!

buy it an keep it on the drive till you can insure it <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[joking]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions046.gif" />

I suggest ya get it, personally i love em, ad love one! The insurance is gunna b high tho like every1 else has sed, if u decide to get it tho y not keep it in the garage or woteva an do woteva ya thinkin of doin to it. But in my opinion I dont think you shud listen to wot other ppl say bout it. Ya av ya own choice in Cars not wot other ppl av so its up2 u babe!! <img border="0" alt="[does this help]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions041.gif" />
