2001 TT Roadster Repair Costs
Just bought a 2001 TT Roadster with 81k miles. We got a really good deal on it, but the person we bought it from purchased it from a used car lot. We knew in advance that it likely had some hidden warts. It had been in a rear-end wreck with no frame damage. We also knew the timing belt hadn't been changed, so we paid accordingly:
Here's what the technician found, and associated costs. Do these look fair for a model of that age?
Timing belt, water pump and main drive belt - $900. The main drive belt was VERY close to going out
Valve cover and spark plugs, there was a decent sized oil leak - $300
Replacement of left windshield fluid unit - $100
Replacement of side mirror control unit - $90 for labor. The seller actually had the part and gave us this at sale.
So that's $1500. Do those sound fair? Anything else I should think about having done at 80k? It has new tires and brakes.
We'll probably have to spend about $200 having the muffler bent back into place as well. It was bent slightly inward in the wreck.

Sounds fair, if it's an ok shop. You should have the rest of the fluids changed (halidex (awd), coolant, trans,ect). Brake and power stearing are part of the 60k maintance... not sure if you want those too. Just a heads up, all these fluid changes are going to be big bucks at a dealer. Mine wanted $400 for halidex alone.
