I this boards help as I am looking to get a Turbo TTA, Ihave found one but it has 90,000 miles and a rod knock. the car is straight and nice. What should I pay for something like this?

Depends on the shape of the rest of the car as well. Seats and wing are the first thigns to look at. I would guess $4-$6K depending on the shape of the rest of the car. My guess is the trans is shot as well.

Run the VIN number to see if it is a real TTA.

Look at your vin #. If it's a real TTA it will have 5 in the 3rd digit spot and a 7in the 8th digit spot.

I agree with Sweet6, somewhere around $5000... basically roller price. That is assuming the only other things needed are front seat covers and a respray (no metalwork). I don't know what you have in mind for a motor, but I'd guess you will have 5k or so into a rebuild. Another $1200 for a trans rebuild if it's needed too.

These are fun cars and since it has high miles, you could actually use it once it's finished.

Congrats on the buy, $3K sounds good for everything you got. If you can post some pics up. You will need to order a PHS kit for your car. They will tell you what the production number is along with any other info they have on file. You can get it here, PHS Historic Services Keep us posted.

What are the last 6 digits of the vin #? There are a few people on this site that keep track of vin #'s, so you may be able to get an approximate idea of what your build number is.
