Thinking of buying a TTA, tell me what the negatives are

[cottonpicker14]

I have my eye on a real nice restored TTA that has a number of modifications. The car was done right and I am not concerned that it is modified.
My concern is, what are the negatives to buying a TTA, meaning availabilty of parts. Are all parts available today ? What is the most common problems with these cars. My concern is, if something goes wrong with it, such as engine parts, tranny, rear etc, would I be able to get it fixed or are some parts not being made anymore or available.
Any other reasons NOT to buy one ?

Well,
Let's see!
Rear main leak is common.
Sometimes people have a starting problem (I do every so offen).
Some parts are hard to find.
TTA owners bid the price up real high on ebay for 20th TTA related stuff!
You will want to drive it all the time.
You will drive fast all the time (at speed, these little V-6s are hungry like V-8s! So, gas will disappear fast!)
You may collect tickets!
You will embaress other drivers with high $$$$ sports cars!
But the big problem................no V-8 sound!!!! :roll:

These are just a few,
