It pays to talk at red lights....

[metalman]

So a couple months ago I am cruising through Dacula...and I come out on 316 and a guy pulls up along side me at the red light and starts talking out his window. He asks me if I am interested in a Miata hardtop. I say I might be depending on price. Before the light turns green he jumps out of his car and hands me his card.

Later I went to call him but couldnt find the card. I looked but to no avail. This week while going through my wallet I found his card...duhhh. So after a phone call and a quick trip to his house last evening I now have a very reasonably priced black hardtop with headliner, defrost, & pigtail. It has a few nicks on it but is very solid overall. I have owned many hardtops and usually end up selling them...but time will tell.

Oh yeah...and the person he got this from was just going to throw it out...imagine that.

Such was the case with the hardtop I got.
Good score though!

Gah hardtops being thrown away is worse than throwing seals in the rubbish.

Cool deal!

Nice find. I want to get a hard top but most ppl are asking crazy money for them.

Plus I am flat broke with the holidays coming up.

:lol: :lol: made me chuckle just then

[MoD_Scotty]

Nice score. I love my hard top. No, I seriously make love to it on a regular basis.




























Just kidding.
















But not really.

Good score....

I'm amongst those that dont want a HT.. Had one on my Spitfire years ago and I always ended up pissed when we would get a 60F+ day in the middle of winter and I was stuck with the HT bolted on,

I wouldnt hesitate to buy one at a deal from a guy at a red light and sell it for the going rate though

Haha..I pretty much agree. I find them to be 'in the way' for the most part...and subsequently have sold every one I have ever owned, even if I got them for $100 or for free.

They do look really nice but once you experience top down there's no going back. I love the feeling of nothing but air around you.

ehhh i hate convertibles so a hard top would be great.



great find.
