UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1997 AUDI CABRIOLET. CLEAN TITLE. 106K. IN THE LAST 3K MILES OVER $4000 INVESTED IN THIS CAR. MOHEGAN LAKE MOTORS, LOCAL AUDI DEALER, HAS SERVICED THIS CAR AND COMPLETED TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT AT 103K MILES. FRONT AND REAR ROTORS ALSO REPLACED AT 103K. I WILL GIVE BUYER RECEIPTS. REAR WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED LESS THAN 600 MILES AGO. BATTERY ALSO REPLACED. I JUST INSTALLED HELLA HEADLIGHT BULBS. BEST $50 I SPENT. REPLACED REAR WINDOW. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I WANTED A SPARE CAR. WE THOUGHT WHY NOT CONVERTIBLE. I FOUND THIS CAR THROUGH A FRIEND. THE LAST OWNER SAID SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ACT "FUNNY." I DROVE IT AND FELT NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THEN ONE DAY THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN ONE GEAR, THIRD GEAR TO BE EXACT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUDI MECHANIC. HE STATED THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED IN A LIMP MODE. HE SAYS THE TRANSMISSION HAS SEVERAL CODES THAT SHOW UP. HE SAYS IT IS EITHER SOMETHING ELECTRONICALLY WRONG OR THE SHIFT SOLENOID(S) IN THE TRANSMISSION. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT SO I DECIDED TO SELL IT. THE CAR STILL DRIVES AND SOMETIMES NORMAL. ONCE I GET ON THE HIGHWAY IT FEELS FINE. REVERSE WORKS AS IT SHOULD. OVERALL THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE. A COUPLE OF BLEMISHES ON BODY. BIGGEST ONE NEXT TO GRILL. IT IS A DIMPLE A LITTLE LARGER THAN A QUARTER(SEE PIC). NEXT IS SEVERAL SCRATCHES ON DRIVER'S DOOR(SEE PIC). LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD BUFF OUT. TOP WORKS GREAT. INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE EXCEPT FOR DRIVER'S SEAT NEEDS REPAIR(SEE PIC). DRIVER'S SELT BELT NEEDS REPLACING. RADIO DID WORK BEFORE I PARKED IT. IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND NOW THE RADIO WON'T TURN ON. MAYBE A FUSE OR SOMETHING. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS AS IT SHOULD. AC IS COLD. HEATED SEATS WORK. THIS CAR WOULD MAKE A GREAT PROJECT. EVEN A GREAT PARTS CARS FOR I SET THE RESERVE VERY LOW!!!! THIS CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION ANYTIME DURING AUCTION. I STRONGLY SUGGEST IT AS I'M NOT A MECHANIC AND WOULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT. PLEASE ASK ANY/ALL QUESTIONS. ALSO, PLEASE INSPECT ALL PICS CAREFULLY FOR ANYTHING I MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN AS THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. ITEM TO BE PAID FOR AND PICKED UP NO LATER THAN 7 DAYS FROM END OF AUCTION. SORRY NO PAYPAL. THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING!!!
