2005 Audi A4 Cabriolet 1.8T Convertible – Project / Mechanic Special – $1,000 OBO

Selling my 2005 Audi A4 Cabriolet convertible with 1.8 turbo. The engine runs, but the transmission is slipping badly and the car will need to be towed. This would make a great project car, parts car, or candidate for someone willing to swap in a used transmission. I got it as rebuilt title at around 60,000 miles and have been religious with oil/filter changes every 5,000 miles or less.

Pros:

• 1.8T turbo engine runs

• tires are practically new

• Battery less than a year old

• Aftermarket touchscreen Apple CarPlay stereo

• Convertible

• Interior is in ok shape overall, torn front leather seats.

*front axle and timing belt replaced 2 years ago

*alternator replaced ~2 years ago

*new brake pads and brake flush (new rotors on front) within the last year.

*battery is less than a year old

Known Issues:

• Rebuilt title

• Transmission slips badly

• Power convertible top works intermittently

• Rear glass is separating from the convertible top

• A/C does not work

• Hood has severe paint fading

• Front leather seats have wear/tears

• Missing trim around one fog light

*cracked windshield

Sold as-is. I’ve tried to be as upfront as possible about its condition. It has a lot of good parts and could be a worthwhile project for someone familiar with Audis. It’s a really fun car but life has left me with little time to work on it. Message me with any questions or offers.
