Best used convertibles between R100 000 and R200 000
A cabriolet is the ultimate guilty pleasure. Let's be honest; we don't buy ourselves sexy little roadsters or drop-top convertibles for the daily school run; cabriolets are built and bought for the enjoyment of the drive. We pick the best ones on site.
Who doesn't like the wind in their hair and the sun on their face? We picked a few affordable, older convertibles for the rebel in you. Many of these cars have quite a few kilo's on the odometer and are getting a little long in the tooth, but if you're prepared to give them the TLC they deserve, you will have many years' worth of joyful journeys. Take a look...
Volkswagen Golf VI GTI Cabrio (2013-2015)
Nothing gives you more street-cred than a Golf GTI. And in convertible guise? Even better! And they're priced right, too. Not to mention the zesty 2.0-litre TSFI power plant...
VW Golf VI Cabrio 1.4TSI (2011)
Maybe all that extra power isn't necessary. Opting for a Golf with a little less power will cost you a little less money as well, and you'll still look as stylish inside it! It's likely that this model was probably not driven as hard as the GTI, either.
Audi A3 Cabriolet 2.0TFSI & 1.8T Ambition (2011-2013)
The A3 cabriolet has aged rather nicely. There are some 2011 and 2012, medium-mileage gems available on our website, and Audi doesn't disappoint when it comes to aftersales.
BMW 1 Series Cabriolet 120i Convertible Auto (2009-2012)
Mazda MX-5 2.0 Roadster (2008-2015)
Our list of all-time favourite convertibles includes the Mazda Miata roadster. They have an excellent reliability reputation and offer bucketloads of driving fun.
Audi TT Roadster (2007-2014)
The audacious Audi TT has as much attitude as it has style. The ultimate car for singles or childless couples!
Audi A5 Cabriolet 2.0T (2009-2012)
Another Audi makes our list. The bigger A5 can actually serve the dual purpose of carting kids to school as well as glamorous transport for couples-weekends away.
Think carefully before you buy...
Mercedes-Benz SLK, SL, and SLK
Older Mercedes convertibles are aplenty in this price range, but have high mileage. If you work on your own car or own a garage, then yes, but the average guy on the street could end up with costly issues in the long rung. The same goes for the oily bits in older Mini Convertibles.
