I need some advice.

I'm in the market for a used car, and like you, I love the styling of the TT. After reading through a ton of user reviews online, however, it seems like several problems keep getting mentioned over and over again:

1. burning oil (might mean the turbo is going?)
2. electrical problems (instrument panel, windows, alarm)
3. stalling
4. creaks, rattles, (general fit and finish problems in the car)
5. Audi service departments seem to be very expensive and hit or miss (We can't reproduce the problem, sir.)

I would love to get a TT, and will be using it as a daily driver (throwing some snow tires on it in the winter) BUT I don't have a ton of cash for constant repairs or the ability to be without my car because it's in the shop. I need something reliable. The particular TT I looked at is a 2000 1.8 quattro coupe with all the options. It has relatively high miles (about 80k), and seems to run fine. The owner has all service records, recall records, and it looks like it was babied. I was getting ready to buy, and the price is right, but the horror stories from some TT owners have me worried.

So, I guess my questions are:

If the car appears to run ok when it has 80k miles on it, was well maintained, am I pretty much in the clear of getting a "bad TT"?
How long can I expect the turbo to last with daily driving?
What percentage of TTs have the electrical malfunctions and problems with burning oil?

I realize without seeing the car, you can't really advise me one way or the other, but any unbiased help you could offer me would be appreciated.

I don't care if it isn't the fastest car. I don't care the back seat is useless, or that the bumpers scratch easily. I just don't want to go broke constantly fixing a car. Will anyone go so far as to call the TT "reliable"? Please?
