Re: 2008 Audi TT brake squeal [protruth]
Written by: w00dst0ck on Dec 25, 2009 1:13:09 PM
Actually, if you win the arbitration, Audi CANNOT appeal. Those arbitrations are binding on the manufacturer but not on the consumer. So if Audi wins, you can still file suit under the state lemon law. If you win, Audi has to buy the car back. Please post if you do win as I'm having the same brake problem with my wife's TT. It is absurd to say it's "normal" - it ... Read More

Maguire comes through ... mostly
Written by: protruth on Jun 6, 2009 5:10:32 PM
The Maguire Audi dealership in Ithaca, New York, faced with a Lemon Law arbitration decision favoring me, refunded my purchase price in full ... except they wanted to deduct the value of wheel scrapings on 3 of the 4 alloy wheels. I let them have their oz of flesh regardless that 2 of the 4 wheels were scraped while the Lemon Law Arbitration proceedings were in progress. I also GAVE the ... Read More

My 2008 Audi TT 3.2 L Quattro declared a Lemon
Written by: protruth on May 20, 2009 2:56:12 PM
Reporting back. An Arbitrator appointed by the NY State Attorney General has found that my 2008 Audi TT 3.2 L Quattro has a serious defect, an ear-splitting squeal emitted by the front brakes, and declared the car a Lemon. I was awarded the nearly $50,000 purchase price. It is now up to Audi USA and its dealer Maguire Audi, Ithaca, NY, to pay up, take their defective car back, and try ... Read More

2008 Audi TT brake squeal
Written by: protruth on May 8, 2009 7:24:46 AM
I have heard or read every single excuse by mechanics in the USA and Great Britain: front brake squeal is "normal", and Europeans expect brake squeal on a "high performance" car often run on a no-speed-limit Autobahn. The TT is a sporty-LOOKING car but was built for street driving, not racing on a track. Audi has built a "high performance" R8 which is regularly driven on tracks - or “no speed ... Read More

Thanks for the reply, dorkbrand. You're about half an hour away from me. I actually went to CarMax today to get my car appraised, but their offer was lower than what I owe. Otherwise, I really would have loved to take over your lease. I can probably sell my car to a private party for a better price, but it may not be fast enough for you. If you'd like to ... Read More

Hi dorkbrand, I don't know the exact details of taking over a lease; just that it's definitely possible. There are costs associated for the actual transfer, and all the paperwork to transfer the lease is taken care of by the leasing company. If you visit the leasetrader website, they have an overview of how the process goes. Are you in Southern California, by any chance? And is it a 2008? If ... Read More

Hi, So I just got the silver tt roadster last month. The price of the car was much higher than I had expected ($47,300 sticker). However after going back and forth with two dealers and I got one of the dealers to give me the car for $3,000 down, $505 a month includes tax, 12k a year. 36 months lease. I would say I got a really fantastic deal, but I'm ... Read More

Hi Dorkbrand, I am very curious about that lease deal. I am highly interested in leasing a TT Premium 2.0T exactly like the one you mention. In Ibis White as a matter of fact. My dealer has one but is quoting me $1900.00 down with $641.00 per month x 48 months at around $45,000. Seems high to me. Do you have any further info on that lease deal on TTs?

Make sure the dealership takes at least 1800-2000 off of the MSRP, and bases the lease on the number you come up with. I am paying a fairly high monthly number...$660 + 4000 down... but I am waiting for a used R8 down the road a bit. I am going against my usual strategy in leasing and putting more down than I normally do. But lately I have been getting bored ... Read More

IBH, You did not do badly on your lease... I got a similar option package without Nav and Bluetooth, but got the Sirius radio and baseball optic stitching, so our bottom lines are similar. Mine, very quickly, is $4,000 down for inceptions and cost cap... $660 per month on a 24-month lease. I thought it was a little high, but it compared favorably to my 2003 Jaguar S-Type. The money factors ... Read More
