Did a quick kijiji check in Ontario

Here's a 98 LS1 Trans Am convert, in budget, automatic. These things are still quick, even by today's standards, and unlike the newer Mustang options, you won't lose money on it as values on these have been on the upswing lately.

Cheap V6 Stang, looks well cared for:

Another cheap-ish V6 Stang, nice rims, bright red, safe choice here:

IF she can learn manual you can have a Supercharged GT with a bunch of Cobra goodies

^ That Trans-Am looks good.  Also, blur911 lives in Kingston, and he's retired now.  Just sayin. 

[Shorlaw]

I agree about that Trans Am!  So much more interesting and still well suited for what you're looking for (assuming the wife agrees!)

I like that!!  That's a very flattering pic of it. Too bad we can't go across our own borders - and it's soooo far away too.  Me like a lot.

Have someone check it out for you, get a PPI, and then ship it. That's what I did with my BMW last summer and it was mostly painless aside from the waiting.

Let me know, I can have a look.

I don't like convertibles, but that T/A, damn does that look great!!!

So no buyers remorse yet?  ... Was hoping for some so that I could buy the car off you

Haha, nope!

Kind of narrowed my focus to the 2011-2014 cars, gets you the modern 3.7 V6 with 300+ HP.  This one looked great, other than the transmission:

If that was an automatic, it would have been in my driveway.

Mustangs really starting to pop up on Kijiji now, people must be getting stuff out of winter storage.  Mostly manuals, but a few automatics.  Of course pricing is all over the place....if a car is properly priced, need to really jump on it, it seems.

[blur911]

^I've never seen so many Mustang convertibles per capita as in Shippagan, NB and area , keep an eye open for stuff up there.

[ArticSteve]

If you're buying a decade old VERT it's all about the top.  Look for garage stored units only.  Not to be confused with just winter storage.  Essentially you are looking for a one owner that has a year round garage,  They do exist.  The sun destroys the tops and nothing worse than a failing top.  Replacement costs are nuts.

I'm also considering getting an older, cheap convertible. Though I'm not too concerned about the top since I'll just use it for occasional joyrides.

Ugh, so we missed out on a couple of creampuffs early in convertible season, when there were movement restrictions within the province.  Didn't think much of it and kind of assumed similar cars would pop up, but now the market has dried up and it's absolute garbage on kijiji.  So we will wait on the sidelines and keep checking the listings everyday.

[valuator]

Just to update this thread, we are checking out a local 128 convertible next week that is owned by a business acquaintance.  He wants what I would consider to be top dollar for it, but it's a one owner car with full maintenance history and new tires, so I'm prepared to get a deal done if it's in as good condition as he claims.

Year and mileage?  Essential info when talking Bimmers
