This 2003 Audi A4 Cabriolet 1.8T Sport 2dr is offered to you directly from the Bank of Scotland who are the original owners from new.
This car has covered a warranted 19961 miles from new. The full HPI check showed no record of any major accidents, as can be seen (for free) on the clear HPI report. This car also comes with a history, and a valid V5 document. An independent RAC Body and Mechanical inspection has been conducted, for which the full details can be accessed from the left-hand side menu.
The Audi A4 is a sophisticated, stylish, strong convertible. Good looking with safety, good performance and economy, coupled with comfort and reliability. The 1.8 four-cylinder turbo engine produces 163BHP so it's no slouch and makes it a joy to drive. The soft top is durable, it retracts in just 25 seconds to give that wonderful cabriolet experience, a wind deflector is also provided and it doesn't catch the wind, so noise is minimal and it's good for the winter months too, and unlike most convertibles, its very family friendly and has plenty of room.
This car is finished in metallic Silver; it comes with full optional extra Pearl Nappa Wine Red Leather upholstery with matching soft-top. This is really set apart from the rest, as it also has optional extra 18-inch, nine spoke alloy wheels and walnut fascia and door capping inlays. If it's not convenient to have the roof down, dual climate control air conditioning helps keep the occupants cool. The windows are electric, as are the wing mirrors; it has an upgraded Audi Symphony radio, cassette CD player, on board computer and four airbags (the passenger one can be deactivated). For driver comfort the front seats are fully height adjustable, the steering column is reach and rake adjustable and you get a centre armrest in the front. Electric Stability control (ESP) and ABS help keep the car on the road.
This car is absolutely stunning; the colour and red leather is an excellent combination. No expense has been spared either; the original owner had £3860 of optional extras fitted. Please note that the car had its first service carried out by Macclesfield Audi in June 05 at 13813 but the service book wasn't stamped and we only have one key.
