My feedback score has dropped from 100% because of a malicious retaliation by a buyer who refused to pay my dealer processing fee but didn't want to cancel the sale either. I reported the buyer to ebay for leaving malicious feedback but ebay didn't remove it, it is well known if you are a seller on ebay that ebay does not protect sellers against manipulative buyer practices. I am including this statement to explain my recently diminished feedback rating. Please read the full listing including terms and conditions at the end before bidding. Serious bidders only, many new ebayers think bidding is nothing more than checking prices. It costs me money and it's not ok to bid, win and just forget about it. All non paying bidders will be reported to ebay, there is plenty of time to retract a bid prior to the auction ending and I am a high volume seller, I do not get my fees back when a bidder bids on my auctions with no intention to buy. Thanks. 1997 Audi Cabriolet with only 75213 original miles, offered at no reserve. Pictures were taken when it was cloudy outside, just after rain so they are not as bright as they could be. Body is very straight and dent free (just one tiny ding above door moulding, see picture), just a couple of scratches. Paint is still nice and glossy. Wheels are in good shape as are tires. Engine and transmission are as one would expect with 75k miles, no issues. On my test drive it cruised at 80 mph with no issues. The car does have a few issues, mainly the convertible top isn't working and the airbag light is on. Also, the trunk opens but is quite difficult to open, only opens by putting pressure on the key and depressing the knob. Aside from these, it has a few cosmetic issues as follows, Driver's side fog light lens is broken. Driver's side side mirror glass is cracked. Passenger side tail light has a broken piece and a crack. Needs hood struts replaced. Trunk carpeting needs a few clips to reattach on the sides. Interior is decent but does have some discoloration on the seats, some cracks in leather on passenger front seat (but not torn, just cracks) and a small tear on top of the rear seat and some leather wear in that area as well. They could be restored with leather repair and painting techniques. As many convertibles of this age, the interior shows some wear from driving with the top down but overall not bad. A few plastic trim pieces on the interior are missing, they are a plastic ring around the ignition switch(key hole) and the plastic covers on the seat recliner mechanism. These can be found on ebay inexpensively. The instrument cluster plastic has a small crack near the fuel gauge (see pictures). So total about 3 plastic trim pieces. Has only a couple of scratches and nicks/scuffs, overall very clean and straight body given the low miles. Paint still shines great. Drives fine, transmission is smooth. For someone who likes this generation of Audi and doesn't mind fixing the airbag light and convertible top, the other issues are quite minor, just a few lights really. Offered at no reserve, high bidder wins. Please expect normal wear and tear for a used vehicle of this year and mileage. Thank you for looking at this auction and feel free to ask any questions.
