Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet presents well in Tornado Red with desirable upgrades like a 5-speed manual and Zandvoort wheels. However, noted issues with the soft top, interior wear, and non-working A/C indicate it needs some attention.
Condition
6
The car has undergone recent paint correction and hood repaint, but the soft top has a hole, the driver's seat bolster shows wear, the driver's door panel has cracks, and the air conditioning system is non-functional. The digital clock display also has issues. These cosmetic and functional flaws require some reconditioning.
