Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 14, 2009 9:35 am) I like this Miata. It's an M edition, under 100K, 1996, dark blue with tan top, good options, LSDiff. Problem is the price. He wants $4700 I'd like to pay about $3800 tops with that damage. |

Shifty are you going to buy that '96 Miata? It looks good on paper. And whatever happened to that non-running '92 you got for a low price? Did you ditch it already?

and he said that he's hoping to have my '67 Catalina ready to pick up tomorrow. At this point he's just waiting on some weatherstripping that goes on the rear quarter windows and one or two other spots. Just my luck, that it's ready to pick up just as a serious cold front is about to come through. Guess I won't be playing with the top tomorrow!

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 14, 2009 11:00 am) My problem is that I don't want red, white, blue/green or French blue. I want BRG or dark blue. This limits both my choices and my bargaining abilities. I thought a dark blue car with a tan hardtop would be quite handsome. |

Guess I won't be playing with the top tomorrow! You do realize it's January, don't you?  Unless you live in Palm Springs, Arizona or Florida, I wouldn't think the top would do down until March or April at the earliest. |

I think I'd go for the new fender - and have them retouch then entire nose while they're at it. IMHO, when you take that bra off, it's going to be ugly underneath. They trap sand, and then vibrate against the paint as you drive.... But then - you're the appraiser, and it occurs to me that you know a lot more about this kind of thing than I ever will. In any case, I bet if you make him pull that bra before you buy the price is going down for paint damage there too.
