When considering a roadster take a close look at the rear wing for cracks. Many of them crack (on both sides) where the upright supports meet the wing.
It’s an easy fix but can cost a few bucks if you don’t have the know how or tools to correct it. Use this when negotiating with the seller


I’ve attached a few “before” images of the wing I needed to repair before I installed it on my car.
My understanding is that this issue is only seen on the roadsters

It’s now a 20 year old car so it’s tough to use an easy metric to determine value. The best evaluation tools are your brain, wallet and heart, in that order.

Do your due diligence, factor in the overall condition (brain) After that, determine if it’s worth what your willing to pay (wallet), finally, do you HAVE to have it (heart)
I HAD to have one in white. Nothing else mattered to me.
11 years later and I still love this car.

Any car is only worth what YOU’RE willing to pay.

Wishing you success on your search for the perfect roadster.
