27k-Mile 1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet Boutique Edition

This 1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet is a triple-white Boutique Edition that was sold new at Three Rivers Volkswagen of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and registered to subsequent owners in Florida and Ohio prior to the selling dealer’s recent acquisition. Power is from a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with an automatic transaxle, and equipment includes alloy wheels, auxiliary gauges, a roll hoop, and more. The timing belt was replaced in 2015 at 24k miles, while more recent work included an oil change and inspection conducted by the selling dealer. This Cabriolet shows 27k miles and is offered for sale with its original window sticker, owner’s manuals, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title.

The 1.8-liter inline-four features a single overhead camshaft and a CIS fuel injection system to produce 90 horsepower with 100 lb-ft of torque when new.
