-prefer convertible WS6, Firehawk, or SS

I know you said closer to Houston, but 1gen is selling his and its close to 30k mileage. Might not be what you're looking for but its something.

He was really interested in that car until the up close pics were sent. The passenger side quarter panel and rear bumper look like victims of a hit-and-run accident. They are scraped and dented. OUCH!

That sucks man. I'm bored at work on a Sunday so I might keep looking just to pass the time. If I come up with anything, I'll post it.

It can still be found. Our buddy just picked up this 02 SS vert on the north side of Houston at a Mercedes dealership about a month ago with only 8600 miles. Car was super clean and no damage. Paid $22K

ummm, did you cut the roof off?

Teri, that is what he is looking for. There are several automatics out there, just not many 6-speed convertibles it seems.

This one isn't in Houston, but it's nice. I think the price might be a little high.

Yeah, that one is badass and is like a brand new car. I don't think he will get what he is asking though. That car is worth $25K tops, more like $23K. It is amazing that people buy these cars and do not drive them.

I know he is in PA, but he is a member and had the car for sale for at least 6 months.

...and the reason he has had it for sale for 6 months is probably because he wants about $5,000 too much for it. He is asking collector pricing, but has about four times as many miles than what a collector would want. They usually like cars with less than 5K miles on them. Nice car though, $23K would be a more realistic price.
