Thinking about selling the car - '98 TA Convertible
#1
SOLD - '98 TA Convertible - SOLD
I'm on the fence about this, but thinking about putting the car up for sale, thought I'd drop a note here to see if there's any interest from the 'vert crowd. I've owned this since 2004, acquired it with ~60K on the clock, now shows 132K. Was originally an A4 car, swapped it to M6 in spring of 2013.
Here's the cliff notes, PM for more info or questions:

Had originally posted this to the convertible forum to get some thoughts from the convertible owners, but I'd take $10K. It's not a show car, but I try to take care of it. I just spotted a water leak, and it needs a headlight motor and I have a replacement window motor as driver's side is slowing a bit.

Additional - replaced factory fogs with LEDs (have original lights/mounts), and fuel system was upgraded with new injectors (will have to dig up specs) and racetronix kit.
If there's any serious interest locally to Orlando, I can meet up with reasonable notice for you to see the car in person.

I see you have cool rims. Have you been selling for a long time? Not considering selling at auction - auctionstreaming is not a bad idea. Which company is the car rims? What is the mileage?
