Driving under the radar

1994 Audi Cabriolet 2dr Convertible
The Audi 80-based Cabriolet is a solid, luxury sport convertible. Slightly under-powered for the weight with a sluggish transmission. However, it shines in comfort and still turns heads at 24-years old. As a retirement second car, it's just fine. Mine has the winter package, and it's needed when driving year-round in Iowa. With purchase price and maintenance included, it has cost less … than $2,000 per year over my 10 years of ownership. And, that includes a recent purchase of a parts car plus a trip to the body shop for some cosmetic work. Market valuation has stayed in the basement for years, making it easy to send damaged cars to the crusher. As the car becomes rarer, the valuation is slowly increasing.
I sold my Audi with 124,400 miles on it. The frequency and cost of repairs became more than my budget would allow. My advice to anyone looking to buy an early cabriolet is to find the cleanest, best maintained car possible. Repairs will be inevitable, so minimize your risk and enjoy the car for what it is.

Audi Delight

1994 Audi Cabriolet 2dr Convertible
As third owner with 108k this vehicle has really impressed me. Vvery soild and responsive handling. Had it up to 150 kilometers an hour. No vibrations and quiet with top down. Vehicle was painted last year and every nec part was taken off, no rust anywhere. Replaced back window, would be great if it were glass. Original top is excellent. Will park this baby for the winter.

Rock Solid Convertible

1994 Audi Cabriolet 2dr Convertible
This Audi Cabriolet is the most solid
convertible at ten years old. We fell
in love with the new Audi Cabriolet,
but as a third car it was not
affordable for us. The first
generation of the Cab is an excellent
alternative. We also own a 2004 Audi
A4 Avant, and people think we have two
new Audis.

I've had a green one since 1996,
bought it new. In 108,000 miles it's
had every maintenance. Replaced the
worn top cloth twice now just for
appearance, it has never, ever leaked.
No really big repairs under the hood,
though. Fan motor resistor recently
replaced as well as other small items,
switch. I think the elegant, block of
steel design inside and out will age …
well. I have thoroughly enjoyed it in
the South. I'd heartily recommend such
a classi look and smooth performer.
The reason it feels underpowered is
that it weighs nearly 4,000 pounds.
It's not gotten a good reputation and
sales were never brisk. It's really a
super, solid car.
