Wife thinking about a used convertible..

[Chunkee]

Around 10-15 grand.

Z3, and Z4 are insanely priced. s2000 still pretty high dollar even for 1 that is 5 years old.

a miata is too small

maybe a cabriolet

anyone have other suggestions besides a sebring..bleh

You could swing a 1.9 Z3 for under 15 fo sho. The Z4 is a dream, but the Z3 is do-able.

Look at the solaras.

With used cars it's obviously a matter of what's available, not so much of what you want.

Call local dealerships, see what they have to offer. A call doesn't imply that you have to be interested in what they have.

If your profile info is correct, I'd guess the availbility of convertables in Tennesee to be not so hot.

Throw her on the floor and tap that ass till her molars rattle, or she's gonna want a poolboy next.

Look futher south for a ragtop in good condition.

Use the Net to search for what may be available.

toyota mr2
low insurance, 2100lbs, total chick (magnet) car, MID ENGINE, good quality, low matinence. might pose a problem because its about the size of a miata though.(z3 and s200 are same size class arent they?)

edit: cabroliet looks ugly. like a brick. assuming you are talking about the VWs

Used volvo c70 convertable?

Get something with saftey in mind. I love my 96 850 Turbo

Under 15k, the C4 Vette should be on your extremely short list. Anything 86-91 should be within reach, up to 93 might be depending on condition and location.

The L98 engine in the 86-91 Vette gets a bad (and undeserved) reputation for low HP - it has an extremely restrictive manifold design that produces great torque (350ft/lb+) but low max HP (~250HP). Engine can't really breathe above 4,500 RPM. At any rate, they're stupid fast for a toy. That, or about $1k in engine mods (Lingenfelter SuperRam and matching cam) will get you to ~350HP.

L98 has the added advantage of being a Perfectly Normal Chevy SBC. A normal, distributed engine without any technological trickery like OBD2 or Opti-Spark. It's parts-compatible with about half the planet.

Did I mention I love my 91 vert? Pic in sig.
