I am getting about $8k more in trade than my car is worth and getting the Turbo "S" for $6500 off list. Or any of the cars I mention at $6500 off list. I built a Turbo "S" coupe and with my standard "really light" options, the MSRP is like $134k. I would pay $127.5k and I'm getting $119.5k for my trade, with tax its almost $9k difference. Besides, I paid only $123k for my 2004 turbo cab and drove it for 3500 miles

Ya gotta ask yourself if these things are really as limited production as they claim, would they really be paying you too much for your 04 and taking another $6500 off the new one?

I live on the coast so during the summer it is really nice to drive in a cab...but if I wanted a pure performance car I would get a gt3

I think it's a little close minded to believe that convertibles are only for women and old people. While I am not a huge fan of the Turbo Cab or rag tops in general, I still respect their performance capabilities and topless allure. For example, the Miata and S2000 are unbeliebably fun automobiles. They would probably offer better performance as coupes, but we should at least be able to recognize their appeal and benefits as convertibles. Different strokes for different folks, right?
