If you buy a brand new hardtop from the dealer or hardtopguy, all the 'associated parts' (kit) is included with the hardtop? Correct?

Yes, ensure you state the MY of car you are buying for.
When I got mine, it was written into the car purchase deal. Complete with all the necessary parts to make it work on the car .................. $3800.00 + GST.

I say screw getting a hardtop used. Just get it from hardtopguy and save yourself the hassle. There is really no cheap way to get a hardtop.

Honestly you're probably right.

This is why I'll probably sell mine for around 2k whenever i eventually move on from the s2000

I know I got raped paying $5k for my hardtop, but T&T gave me about 6k more than my '01 was worth, so it worked out decently in the end.

Koala,

Wut you thinking about getting next?
Personally, for me it's either a used e40 or IF, they bring the Lotus...hands down.

These are the only cars I can really see myself getting into after the S2K.

If money were no object, of course Koneggseig...droooool!

I'm thinking about getting a Ridgeline + C6 Z06

or, Ridgeline + S2000 + C6 Z06 if I'm lucky

It also really depends on if I get to move back to Calgary or not. If I move back to Calgary I want to build a big shack, but if I stay in red deer or go to edmonton, I'll probably just stick with a townhouse

The other thing that's holding me back is insurance costs on two new vehicles, otherwise I'd have the Ridgeline right now
