Help me in my decision!

it looks fairly clean, there doesnt seem to much peppering of the nose from the ubiquitous stone chips, so check for any overspray and that if it has been painted on the front (not unusual - here in the UK, it's getting on for normal practices for dealers to paint the front bumper before putting it on the forecourt). also the rotors look, from the picture to be a little bit scored. no biggie, but bear in mind they may need doing.

also the wind deflector and baffles behind the seats are not in the picture, if the mounts are there for the center defelctor, you may want to replace it, or if it doesnt bother you, you may not.

tough to tell from the pics but it 'looks' straight and if the car fax reports check out ok, i'd put it in the mix for consideration for sure.

the point to remember 'caveat emptor'

good luck and let us know ..

If it were me and I desired an automatic, I'd wait, save and buy a PDK. Tiptronic is heavy and slower than a manual on the same vintage. On the plus side, even if it has been driven hard at least it was not done by someone who can't shift right.

the car was driven hard, TIP may be bought for just the opposite reasons.

Seems well equipped, cant tell about the PSM/PASM and lacks Litronics but overall condition looks good from pictures. Get a PPI.
