The most important thing to me is the previous owner. She sound sperfect.
I'd venture a guess that half of these cars were driven very aggressively.


Have the ususal stuff checked out.

Previous owners are the key for me in purchases of used vehicles... Driven hard is not a problem... a lack of consistent maintenance or no maintenance at all is a red flag. Mileage is low, most things are up to date, owner is older, so probably not a complete maniac while driving. If the price is in the range, why not?

It would be a shame if the new top has a plastic window...not a deal breaker, but a shame

That's what I'm thinking. She probably only bought it for the "convertible" factor. Highly doubt she bought it to rev up to 9 grand everyday.

She replaced it with a SL500
