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.

I just put a new radiator in her last night smile.gif Yeah it is a 99. The only real bad spots are the clear coat is failing on the hood and spoiler, there is a pretty big dent in the passenger quarter. The seat is kind worn. Other than those, it is in really good shape. Just need to work out the idle problem.

hahah. thats good. if stock, the radiators are usually brown on top showing signs of failure. quarter panels are always the place that gets hit. WHY!!!! frown.gif

looks like a 98/99. very nice.
radiator looks good, oil filter is not fram so thats a plus too!


I really like the new Fram Ultra filters... Made in the US.


haven't tried them yet but I use purolators. but i also have a 7a so no issues. I could probably stick a roll of toilet paper on there and it'd still run. lol
