Just in time for summer!! You are bidding on our family-owned 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet. We have had this car for about 16 years. It belong to my aunt and then I purchased it from her. I have done many upgrades to the car. I have replaced the convertible canvas top. I had repainted it to Porsche guards- red. I added headers and a Techtonic exhaust system. It's a quick little car. I have also replaced the motor and radiator two years ago. The motor is still a stock 8v 1.8 L engine. I have only used premium fuel as well. The steering wheel has been upgraded to a Momo (pictured). The interior including the seats and carpet have all been refurbished as well. The seat covers on all the cars accustomed to match the paint and rims, obviously. Since we have redone the car, it has always been parked in the garage. There is no rust anywhere on the car in the body is bone-straight. It has never been in an accident. In the past 6-7 years, it is never been driven in the rain or snow. Most of the mechanical and cosmetic upgrades have been done in the past 6-7 years but, it is still a work in progress. The rims and tires are like new-they have maybe 2000 miles on them total. I have the original rims and tires and they will convey with the car (must be taken - I need the room!) Additionally, I had to have the speedometer replaced because the original one stopped working @ 157k. Although the odometer reads 110K, the motor, clutch and exhaust have less than 4k miles on them. The radio has been upgraded. It is iPod ready. The a/c and heat also work perfectly. Mechanical issues: You will need a new battery or to recharge the current one. It has sat for over a year in the garage. It took a while for me to jump it, but it does start and run well. The steering column needs a bracket. The car handles great but you can hear a "bump" when making tight turns. The horn doesn't work. It needs a relay fan switch. While driving, the car runs great, when stopped, the fan doesn't turn on and it may overheat. The fan works, but the relay switch does not. The hose that runs from the antifreeze reservoir to the radiator needs to be replaced. The rubber around the windows needs to be replaced as well. The top doesn't leak but water will get in from the window jams (be careful when washing.) This has never been an issue for me, as I have kept it out of the elements during my ownership. My family and I have had a lot of great memories with the "Red Baron." It has only been a spring and summer car for us and we will miss it greatly, but it is time to move on. Hopefully you will give it the same amount of love and attention that we have. 0 0 1 122 701 pgcps 5 1 822 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE This vehicle is being offered for sale “AS-IS” because of year and miles.
