I just purchased a 2005 Limited Roadster, with Sapphire Blue Metallic exterior and Slate and Cedar interior. Absolutely love the car (though I actually had to leave it at the dealer so they could replace the trunk latches). I hope to pick it up tomorrow. I think I got a pretty good deal -- it has 70k miles, looks pristine (top and rear window are mint -- maybe replaced?), for 7.9k.

I've already pm'd Andrew about some badges (I hope I did that correctly), and ordered a wind deflector, a car cover, a sunshade . . . the money pit begins anew!

The one thing I'd like some advice on is replacing (or getting a cover for) the ridiculously slippery shift **** (it's a manual).

I've been reading the forum for quite awhile as I researched the car, and want to thank all of you active members for providing such great information (and for not flaming for the sake of flaming).

All the best to y'all!
