Yellow TT Stealth... 15k too much?

I'm thinking I might go look at the this Yellow TT Stealth that's for sale locally. I don't even want to tempt myself cause I don't really have the money.. But I might take it for a drive anyway cause I've never driven a TT before:p

The car is practically mint on the outside except for some minor damage on the front bumper. Has aftermarket chrome rims.. and a big wing(would have to go lol). Other than that it's completely stock. He just did the clutch and some carrier bearing on the drive shaft. Only 50,000 miles on it, the guy said it's never been winter driven and he maybe puts 4k on every year other than that it just sits in his garage. Anyways he said he'll take 15k but he's willing to deal a bit then proceeded to say something about taking 14.7k lol...

Anyway I want to hear what you guys think.. do my fellow members think that's a fair price?? Keep in mind I live in Canada and I've seen people wanting 10-12k for a 92 TT haha:rolleyes:

I'll go out on a limb and say unless it's a mint '96 with low miles, no it's not worth that much. If it's a 92 like you eluded to, it's worth a 1/4 of that price.

Too expensive IMO compared to what you could buy for $15K right now. $15K will get you a Spyder these days.

Of course, yellow TTs aren't that common so if you're super hot for it, go for it. But I paid $11,000 for my 94 TT with 47k, and that was years ago.

EDIT: Didn't see you live in Canada, don't know how that affects things.

Prices are all over the place in Canada, especially in Alberta, I've seen N/A's with over 200k going for 10k+

you might want to look around a bit before you even consider spending 15gs. check out the link. Even though vr4/tt's do run high in canada you can still find good deals.

Absoloutly not! Tell that man to let go of his sentimental values, and sell the car for what it's really worth! If that is miles, then you're looking in the $9,000 range... If that even, seeing as it has a huge shopping cart handle on it. There are a couple of very nice MINT 94's going in Vancouver right now for under $10,000. My 1991 R/T - TT only has 56,000 KM on it and I picked it up for $2,500 (electrical issues with a simple fix)

Yours wouldn't happen to be the one on Craigslist Vancouver would it? ...Man what I wouldn't give to have a nice looking 95 in my driveway right now :p

Yep... And 52 of them were sold in Canada. I can see where it might be a bit rare up there.

I don't think I'd let mine go for less than $8k, and it has 245k miles on it...

Of course there's always a difference between asking price, and what you can get it for if you have the cash.

i'm gonna guess that this was pearlstealth's old car; and it's got that hideous ricer wing still stuck on the back of it.

if it is...and the newer owners didn't f**k it up too much, then yes, it's probably worth 10k. no way i'd pay 15k though.

I didn't see the one that you are talking in about OP, but there are a handful of R/T tt's that are reasonably priced. on Vancouver's craiglist.

Year would be a 94.. I'm pretty sure thats the only year they came in Yellow, only 2 years newer than my NA lol. Colour is definitely rare and is one of my favourites for sure, which is why this car caught my attention. I do live in Alberta actually haha and as you can see prices are just stupid. I'd like to see this car go to a good home just cause it's in such nice shape, but not for 14 or even 15k for that matter:rolleyes:

Btw good to hear what you guys think. I didn't think I was crazy in thinking that wasn't a good price.. I was thinking maybe 10 ish to 12k range tops. I might just have to take it for a test run see what the deal is:cool:

If was in the market I would buy that.

Yeah, that's just too much. It would have to be in PERFECT condition and even then I wouldn't pay more than $12k and that's pretending that I REALLY loved that color.

Yeah I know it's true. I'm not set on this car or anything... just caught my eye cause it's local and cause of the rarity factor. It only does have 81,000 km's which works out to 50k or so miles. Just by talking to this guy over the phone I get the impression he might be a bit insulted if I offered him 10k though lol, which is 5k below his cloud nine asking price so I could see why.

Pearl Yellow is actually the most common color on a 2G RT/TT (if you call 280 total common) 235 built in 94, 45 built in 95. Out of those 280 cars, 52 of them were sold in Canada.

That is a nice find. I have a black 92 TT, but pearl yellow or pearl white would be a sweet replacement.

I would be thrilled with an NA V10, especially if it were in a 2001 Dark Blue Sapphire ACR! However, my wife keeps nixing those plans, as it isn't a practical daily driver with a 3 year old.

I just installed a Stillen Dp and a HKS BOV today on the stealth. I picked this car up awhile ago and have only put 2k miles on it. I promise you will not find one cleaner.

At first it will be a N/A V10. Yes a GTS ACR viper is what i put a bid in on. I still have the Yellow Vr4. Should be dont by oct 22nd. Should be a very fun car.

I would be open to debate that statement with you.

People on here and 3si are cheap ass low ballers.

A car is worth what you are willing to pay for it, these cars aren't getting any younger and having only 50,000 miles is awesome. Check out the for sale sections on here and 3si - get a feel for what different years and models are worth.
