Convertibles~Aint Nothing Like Goin Topless !!

[Venus007]

I am hoping that I can find that, the one owner car, with good service records would be nice. I am willing to take my time to find the right car that I can afford. Thanks for the tips!

I love the styling of the older cars. I also like large convertibles. There really isn't much I like about newer cars as far as style goes that would be in my price range.

I just wanted to say that I love the above cars, especially the 1984 Mercedes.

If cars are taken care of well, they can really run into high mileage. I never would have been able to afford my car if it wasn't at 64,000 miles at purchase.

Look for a one owner car, as they will often be the most taken care of cars available. As long as preventative maintence has been done on these older cars (hoses and belts changed, etc.), I would seriously consider an car with high mileage.

Get a PPI (pre purchase inspection), for the car you really love and then you will feel safer in purchase. If you are looking to get a Mercedes, take it to a dealer you trust and get it checked out. Especially if you are buying privately. For my Z3, the going price for a dealer is $100. Worth the price, IMHO
