I agree Rudy. The Xfire roadster iw the tightest convertible i have ever driven and matches the stiffness of the Coupe.
The seller is a patent liar as evidenced by the statement "has never been in a accident." Perhaps he would use a different label for what HE did to it. But, having seen the serendipitous encounter with his vision, I would have to call it an accident.
