1998 Audi Cabriolet 2.8 V6

Highlights

• Rare hard top included
• 2.6-litre V6 engine with five-speed manual transmission
• Convertible roof in very good condition due to hard top protection
• Recently serviced with new fuel pump and plugs

The Appeal

The Audi Cabriolet represents one of the most elegant four-seater convertibles of the 1990s. Much like Mercedes' SL line, the combination of German build quality and a convertible roof is often a winning combination.
This 1998 example offers the desirable 2.6-litre V6 engine paired with a manual transmission, a relatively uncommon combination that enthusiasts particularly value.
This Cabriolet also comes with the significant advantage of a rare hard top, effectively giving you two cars in one - a stylish convertible for summer days and a practical coupe for year-round use.
