I purchased the vehicle below retail as it is a convertible and I got it during the winter months. Despite being rear wheel drive and a super light car, it handled fine in the snow. It also did not have any issues with weather stripping or leakage in the soft top even though it was nearly 10 years old when I bought it. I did luck out in that it was low mileage, only 50K miles, upon purchase, which was half of what a 10 year old car would normally have, but the other wear & tear issues that don't correlate to mileage were virtually non-existent as well. She has functioned extremely well over the past year I've had her with no problems mechanically or otherwise. In addition, coming from a V6 to a very light inline 4 cylinder has dropped my gas spending by nearly half of what I'm used to paying. Additionally, my insurance premium went down by about $20 from my prior vehicle (2004 Chrysler Crossfire).

We purchased this vehicle last year. My wife had been looking for a red one and found it on line in our town We drove the car, it ran great and after negotiations we drove off with it. The interior and convertible top was in great shape and the paint was in great shape so no exterior needs. The radio need to be replaced, it came with a Bose and the cost was an issue but we decided to replace it with another radio. We took it to our mechanic and they went through the car test drove it and told us it was in great mechanical shape. Since we purchase the vehicle we had to replace the clutch and that has been it. I find the ride to be rough as it is a sports car and I do not believe that I would take this car on a long trip. I do not believe I would drive it to Orlando which is about 2 hrs. away. I enjoy the convertible as I have never owned a convertible, it is easy to open and close and like I said is in great shape. The car s very fuel efficient even with us using it for more city driving than freeway driving. The cons that I have is I am 70 and getting in and out the car is difficult do to the low height of the car and small interior.
