        Quad ellipsoid mod? Interesting.

        Then again those don't look like real ellipsoids at all. Weird.

          Nope, stock sealed beams. Not really sure why it looks that way on the pic, must be a reflection of the ground.

            Would love to get that one, but its 17 and a half hours away from me. The one I posted it 15 minutes away. LoL! What would be a good price for the one I posted? Thanx! I figured it was a decent price since it only has 94xxx miles

              Private or dealer seller? Records? How's the interior?

              Go for it if you like it. Looks clean and it is a later model. Price seems about right with the convertible market I have seen lately.

                    Honestly, the car seems to be in great shape.

                    A plastic bumper vert in great condition isn't particularly easy to come by, especially if is a manual.

                    If the panels are original, the interior's in good shape, and there's no rust, I see no reason why it's not worth around $3200. Find out when the timing belt's been done, as it could be a bargaining point.

                      I would buy it in a heart beat. Does the top work? 1993 verts are impossible to find and all of them are manual trannys. I've been looking for a red/tan late model vert too...

                        like everyone said, hes asking too much. $3200 would be reasonable. bargaining points:
                        -rear window
                        -top if the motor doesnt work
                        -antenna stuck up
                        -timing belt
                        -dried out rear seat back?
                        -top's tension straps
                        -does it have heated seats
                        -should be manual for that price

                        *edit*
                        in MO you will also want a hardtop and screen that goes behind the front seats to cut down on wind and increase the topless season. but you may have a hard time arguing those points.

                            Im going to pick it up next week if I can get it for the money I have. Its a dealer, but it was his son's car. Interior is decent, the seams are coming apart on the top of the rear seatback. Yes its a manual. Not sure that the t-belt has been done, so it will be one of the first things I do if I get it. Has a little rust bubbling up under the paint on the rear wheel wells. Dont see any other rust but it was also a quick roadside inspection while I was out on a test drive.

                            Didnt try the top, but the motor looked newer. Top is in good condition as far as I can tell. Has a factory tape deck with a cd changer in the trunk. I think the central locking is screwed up though because I unlocked the trunk and it didnt lock or unlock the doors.
