1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet Reviews
| “A Real Blast”
bought one for my wife and this is probably the best purchase we have made. She drives this car rain or shine. Few minor problems but nothing major. Has rust and I am finding it hard to find a trunk lid to replace the rusty one on the car. also slight leak at doors when raining hard. Other than that it is a real head turner, people are always commenting on the cute car
Pros —
mechanical parts easy and fairly cheap to buy if you search around a bit
Cons —
body replacement parts extremely hard to find other than hood,fenders

| “The Drive In The Open Air”
Just in need of a handle (top lock) for the roof of an '88 Volks Cabriolet. The broke off and I'm looking for places that might happen to have a replacement, new or used!
Pros —
Great drive when the top is down!
Cons —
The car has a difficult time running after a rain storm, it feels like when you have the gas pedal pressed, it wants to stall, it comes close but never does.

| “Very Dependable,extremely Economical,absolutely A Blast To Drive !” My daughter bought her 1988 cabriolet in 2005.She paid too much and it shook,rattled and barely rolled.Thank god my best friend is a mechanic so between the two of us the car has recieved a new rebuilt motor(original one),a complate body job,everything underneath is new,and a brand new top.We are now starting on the interior.My point is that when she first bought it i hated the car,and now two years later i hate to admit that i have more fun driving it than my 1985 corvette(except when im going 150 mph and i do ).its absolutely a blast to drive . as far as expensive to repair you just have to be willing to source out parts and stay away from the vw dealership when possible.you'll be amazed what you can find on the internet now for these cars.Go VW. |
