So, I have a few questions. I would be able to pick up a 6th gen convertable for about 1.5k, but the interior, exterior, top are rough. The car runs well and the transmission shifts smoothly.
I just need an opinion if it is a good buy.
I am also thinking about putting what I bought it for back into the car if I get it.
Also it has about 100k miles on it.
Thank you for the help.

Can see it needs a respray but for the price you can't really expect it to be perfect. The only thing that's of obvious concern is the idle problem, but it could be something simple and inexpensive like the IACV needing taken off and cleaned. Would just depend on how bad the idle problem is, being it's OBD-II you could scan it for trouble codes.
