Buying the 1998 Audi Cabriolet

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1998 Audi Cabriolet for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is what to know about the 1998 Audi Cabriolet before buying one.

Recalls and complaints

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 1 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the figures tell you

Its 2.8L 6-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 37 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

What the Cabriolet is like

As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Its 198 litres of luggage space fit about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

A longer test drive

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Cabriolet for a week and see how it fits your life. If the Cabriolet is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
