I just placed my $3,500 deposit on my Neiman Marcus Ltd. Edition TT (looks like #45 or 46 out of 100). The price is "only" $35,000 and that includes paint and interior colors excusive to the NM model (pearlized Numbus grey with Moccassin Red Napa leather interior), heated seats, Xenon headlights, upgradede Bose stereo with 6 cd changer, driver information display with pictogram, upgraded 17" wheels and tires. Even a TT car cover and 25,000 NM bonus points!<p>Scheduled delivery is March or April. I've already reserved my license plate, "TNT TT". I can't wait!!

Congrats Brad! <p>I was told by my dealer that those cars sold out the first couple of days they were "on the block." That was several months ago. How did you do it?

I called and got my name on the waiting list the day that the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog arrived. At that point, all 100 were already sold out. Last week, I got a call from Audi North America. Apparently, about 20 out of the 100 fell through. Mostly for failing to make the deposit. Anyway, they gave me 1 day to make a decision and 72 hours to deposit $3,500 at the Audi dealer of my choice. I didn't expect to be given the opportunity to by one, but I am happy that things worked out.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiusa.com/998/998.htm">Neiman Marcus Limited Edition TT</a></li></ul>

I was #168 on the list and they called me for a deposit 3 weeks ago. You must have been in the 200s! I'm surprised so many people are falling out of the list.<p>I sold my spot on the list and am waiting for a 225 hp TT w/quattro.<p>JohnS<br>

It seems like a lot of folks on the waiting list did fall through, which surprises me. If you don't mind me asking, how much were you able to get for your spot?<br>

I wouldn't be surprised if the list had a lot of speculators on it that were expecting to cash in big by selling their spots for big bucks but couldn't find buyers and gave up. <br>Or decided, like JohnS to wait for the 225HP/Quattro version (I'd wait as well even though it would pain me to have to wait another year - especially when you start seeing them on the road).

I'd rather not say here, but it made the transaction worth my time.<p>JohnS<br>

Sorry, but if you're going to post links to it, I'm going to respond to it. ;-)
