Help, can anyone tell me if the old shape audi cabriolet came with alloys as standard? I'm looking at buying a 1995 model but it's got really crap wheel trims on it! I've never seen a model without alloys until now and the owner reckons not all audi cabriolets came with alloys as standard they were an optional extra is this true?? Please help

I thought they did but there were some low-budget 1.8s around (most were imports I think). Plus Audi did some strange things with specs on the run out of the old 80 and the introduction of the original A4

Thanks for your reply. The car I'm looking at is a 2.0 E. Every cab I've seen has the alloys so I reckon the seller is telling porkies.

Some early 2.0s didn't have them either AFAIK. (I think the later 1.8s probably didn come with them as standard). It would be very unusual to find one without them now - how many new buyers would pay the extra for the cabrio looks, but not the alloys, and then have sold the car to someone who wouldn't spend at least £400 on a set from Halfords?

Actually, there's a 1996 one for sale privately in Southampton, in solid navy with no alloys, on the Autotrader website. (Look for a blue 2.0 cabriolet). It's also done a tiny mileage but is way over the money at £9895!.

Parker's reckons £9,430 but at that colour and spec more like £8,750 even if they're right. I'd say even that is optimistic.
