I'm interested in a used silver hardtop for my 01 996 c4 cab in the NE. Any idea's where to search? I tried ebay, none available

Try PAP or PAR or Oaklahoma Foreign used auto parts

Your dealership probably has several lying around and I've heard of people haggling over the price and getting good deals.

Ebay. I got one off ebay for about $500

Try Porsche of Orlando (FL). They had a couple sitting in their office area last fall when I asked. Offered at about $800 as I recall.

Call all the dealers in Florida. I got one at Brumos in Jacksonville...

Thanks, I found one at Brandywine near Phili.

Bob-what did it run you?

By the way, I have been trying to decide if it's worth it for me to get one. Does it really make that much of a difference?

I think if you drive in the winter + snow, salt splasing, etc. you really should consider a h'top. It really doesn't look that bad and feels like a coupe. Plus you can lower the rear window!

Thanks Don. Actually it is a second car for me and a lease, so buying the hard top would be a couple of year investment but if I can drive the car more often it may be well worth it.

I have the hard top but haven't used it yet except to drive home from the dealership back in March. I can't decide if I should sell it or not, as I like the look of the convertible with the top up. While I plan to drive the car in the winter, I will not take it out except on dry, clear days (it's a weekend car), so Don's point probably doesn't apply to me. Should I sell it or keep it?

They are asking $700 and it's new.

Hey Don,
Any squeaks and rattles with the hardtop in place?

I am also looking for a Lapis Blue hardtop for my99. What is the number for Brandywine? Thanks

hey bob,

finally gave in and put my top on this week. i've noticed a few squeeks but it's not bad. just have to get used to a new noise in the car for the next few months.
