I got my 2000 180 about 4 years ago and am wishing I would have gotten a 225
That being said, my car also came with the CPO warranty and had easily paid itself off by the time my car was off of it.
Expect that without a warranty, you will probably have to pay for a new instrument cluster in the next 1-2 years judging by the age of your car, and the new cluster/install alone will set you back about $1000.
The CPO warranty covered the cost of a turbo replacement after my oil pump failed and starved the turbo. The cost of that, had it not been covered by warranty, would have been upwards of $8000.

I would go for the 225, sounds like its worth the extra $$...
as long as you don't mind the blue interior, thats something that I could never ever own but of course thats very subjective.
and of course get the TB done, I did mine the same day I purchased my car... in the guys garage that I bought the car from =)

if you can find an AW member selling a car...
go for that. most people on here take good care of their car...
other than that, go for a 225, the extra money is worth it.

I think imgetting the 225
i'll try to finalize the 01 225q.
any noises in particular should i look out for. it didnt have any tapping. how cold i tell if there was any vacuum leak?
Need to get the TB taken care of. Whats the best way to tell if it needs to be done. is there a way to check
