Default Looking for Daily Driver

Anyone here from Canada brought a car up from the States? I want to keep the Kilometers at a minimum on my 2008 Canadian Crossfire Roadster and I am not going to drive it in the rain again so I want to pick up a daily driver. My 2010 Mazda 6 is gone now, lots of issues, so I need to pick up something else. I have decided I like the physical size of the Crossfire so I think an Audi TT Coupe AWD would do nicely for a daily driver, stick or auto doesn't matter. But, I am particular on the color, prefer Black but will settle for White. I want a coupe because of the winters up here and it has a back seat. I can't find a reasonably priced one up here in those colors. I am looking at building a new garage at my home this summer so I want to keep the price of the car as low as possible, under 7500.00 CDN. Here is an example of one that would do nicely.

2000 Audi TT, Used Cars For Sale - Carsforsale.com

Cheap, what I want and doesn't look in bad shape.

Any and all advice or assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm a little weary of high mileage Audi's, especially older ones.. they get expensive quick.. but I don't know much about the TT.. isn't basically an AWD Beetle?

While you're playing with shipping cars between countries, can you send me down a '89 Nissan Skyline? Thanks

I got my car in the US, it is easy. The car has to be on the list that is acceptable here.
Do a search here and you will find it all explained.

Never heard of a Skyline, looked it up, a few for sale in Ontario 10-15,000 CDN Hell of a lot of horsepower for a little 80's coupe.
Look on Kijiji Ontario for ads I mentioned

You have TWO Crossfires? If I didn't need the back seat I would buy a US Black coupe as a daily driver or even an SRT Coupe. Some are going pretty cheap south of the border.

Thanks everyone, looks like I found what I was looking for in country. Working out the details, hopefully be in a black Audi TT shortly as a daily driver. Arranging independent assessment.
