As far as comfort imagine having all the comforts of home on wheels with 325 ponies. One other plus...the insurance is $300 cheaper per year.

I can't believe the insurance is cheaper. How is that possible, considering the MSRP of the car.

My insurance agent said that since it is a convertible hard top Allstate does not consider it a true convertible. Also since it was purchased used (MSRP in 2006 $75K, used market $42k - $47k) the replacement value will be whatever the market bears (NADA/KBB)....go figure. There are a few in the NJ area for $35k - $46k, private party and dealer.
