ConvertiblesDiscussed here are problems and solutions to convertible specific questions, including difficult to find part numbers and other convertible tech help.
If I didn't already have one, I'd probably contact the seller about it. He's only asking $2200 for it. Hard to say without any photos of the engine or interior or any other descriptions. Does it even run? I don't want to contact the seller and lead him on with no interest in actually buying the car.
I didnt mean you specifically, just in general.I posted this cause i also didnt want to contact the seller for the same reasons.Just seems a waste to let it go someone who may not appreciate it as much.
Might be a motivated seller - in the photo, it looks like it either just came off a trailer or it's going up on one. I'd say it's just going on, since the front RH tire is getting pumped up seemingly in preparation.
Typical convertible paint burn-through on the top of the trunk, tonneau cover and hood, so it wil require at least a partial re-spray for $$$. Hard to say what the front/rear bumpers look like or even the other side of the car. With the paint's clearcoat like that from the sun, expect a cracked dash and faded seats/carpet. In severe cases, the top of the rear seat upright completely rots and falls apart. The convertible top has some black discoloration present that I can't tell what it is but figure on a new top as well.
If it ran/shifted well and the body was dent and rust-free, no cracks in the gfx or any missing pieces, paint is good except for the burned areas, and with a complete or partial re-do of the interior, it might be a good buy with another $3K to $4K added to the purchase price to get it fixed up. That wouldn't be for a show car but a nice driver, and you'd have to really want the car since I'm not sure you'd get all your money back out of it.
