Nate, thanks for chiming in. Realistically I'd say $6-7k at the most to invest at this time in a running vehicle. I already have a daily driver so this would be my fun weekend vehicle. I have some other things going on plus wife & kids that complicate my life lol Do you think that is a realistic budget for a TT? I'm realistic and not expecting a 20+ yr old car in mint condition. I'm just looking for something that hasn't been chopped to pieces and is a good starting point to build on and move forward with.
