Would you pay more for a properly upgraded, low mileage '01.5 S4?

Funny that, but I've been window shopping (not too seriously) Audi 90
cabrios -- under-stressed V6, no extra weight for the quattro it doesn't
have, a reasonably reliable automatic, even the climate control is just
3 knobs and no electronics. Nothing on it is too complex. My '94 100 S
Avant was the most reliable of my many Audis. I'd expect a cabrio to be
similar.

But, they're 15 years old.
