I can't offer them any less because he already moved down 2K! The car did not come out of the south so any top issues won't be covered. What is the best procedure for inspecting the top to make sure it is okay? I did pretty well last February when I sold my coupe with 20,000 miles on it for $17,500 so I guess $17K for a roadster isn't all that bad. Like you said, low mileage roadsters are becoming harder to get a hold of and when someone has one they aren't about to give it away unless they don't know any better.
