This 1997 Audi Cabriolet was originally leased in New York, and subsequently purchased by the original lessee, who kept the car in New York and Connecticut through early 2019. The selling dealer acquired the car shortly after. It is finished in Aluminum Silver Metallic with a black convertible top and a black leather interior. Equipment includes 16″ wheels, heated front seats, headlight washers, and a factory Audi Delta cassette stereo. Recent services included a new half shaft, sway bar link, and oil change in 2017, and further maintenance and a professional detailing were performed by the selling dealer. This Cabriolet is now offered with a clean Carfax report, factory manuals, three keys, service records, and a clean New Jersey title.

The Audi 90–based Cabriolet remained in production longer than other B4 variants, and it overlapped with the succeeding B5-generation A4 for several years. This example is finished in Aluminum Silver Metallic (LY7M) with contrasting black lower bodywork, and it is equipped with factory US-market lighting and headlamp washers. Imperfections above the left taillight, at the front bumper, and behind the front wheels are shown up close in the photo gallery below, where 15 paint-meter readings also are provided.

The power black convertible top is shown both raised and lowered, and it stows beneath a fixed hardshell boot. Factory 16″ wheels are fitted with Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires, and tread-depth readings are shown in the gallery.

The cabin features black leather upholstery with dark wood veneers on the dash, center stack, and interior panels. The seller notes that the upholstery shows a gray-blue cast in certain lighting conditions.

Equipment includes heated front seats, an Audi Delta cassette stereo, and a leather-rimmed A4-style steering wheel. Analog instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline, temperature gauge, and fuel-level gauge. Just over 13k miles are shown on the 6-digit mechanical odometer.

The 2.8L V6 was factory rated at 172 horsepower and drives the front wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission. A 2017 service included an oil and filter change, and the seller had the car serviced in preparation for sale, including an oil change, new air filter, and battery. The seller notes that the 15,000-mile and 22,500-mile services have been performed ahead of schedule.

The 2017 service also included a new CV axle and sway bar link. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery below.

Factory manuals, three keys, and two remotes are included. Service records from prior owners are pictured in the gallery below. The seller notes that service records are included, and confirm the car’s history with the original owner.

The Carfax report shows history in New York and Connecticut with regular updates through early 2019. No accidents or other issues are noted. A walk-around video is viewable below.
