Learn me about hardtops
Hello all,
I've found a hardtop locally. Comes with all the hardware except the defrost plug which I'll acquire later.
I haven't taken a look at it in person but it looks clean. I wanted to ask how the hardtop pricing goes - it's an OEM top.
As far as price goes: do you guys treat it as an asking and allow room for negotiation or is it normal to spend $3k-ish on a good condition OEM top? I don't want to disrespect the seller.
Cheers!

Thanks for the quick replies everyone,
I settled on a price tonight so I'm now the proud owner of an OEM top! Actually comes to it's the defrost plug - he kept it in storage for a while and forgot, and the back window is tinted!
I'm a happy camper. now I just need to wait becaue lime green doesn't exactly work with Silverstone...

I rolled around like this two years ago until I got it painted.
Congrats on the top! It's one of my favourite things I've done to the car... amongst the 100's of other things, haha.

Good luck TeslaChicken! They are pricey, but IMO no aftermarket hard top looks remotely as good as the OEM.
I bought one when when I living in Norfolk VA. In 2009 I found a mint Suzuka OEM HT, all the hardware and the OEM stand for $2250. Times are a changing' I guess. But it was great for VA - too cold in winter and too hot in summer for top down. Since I moved to Cali 4 years ago my HT has not been on once and is just collecting dust. Probably gonna sell it and hopefully make a tidy profit.
