I just paid $12,000 for '94 TT with 74000 miles. The difference been that the interior of mine is in very good shape. The CARFAX came back clean too. I would take taht car to a mechanic and get it check out before buying that's for sure. Make sure to do a compression test. I still have my CARFAX account so if you want to post the VIN I will run the report for you.
