HARD TOP VALUE?

[mr_rotary]

Depends if it has the demister. Ballpark figure is $1000-$1500 depending on condition. Black hardtops are popular because they suit pretty much any colour '5.

Second this - most go around there but the later model will command more.

I've seen them sell in excellent condition for around $1800 - $2000. Start high, you can always drop the price if no interest

Wow. I will. Thank you.

BTW, I love your signature. Very appropriate for me at the moment.

if you know what the value is then in my view better to ask the right price and sell it without playing games. People advertise cars with silly prices and then find either no sale or just dropping the price until it gets to where it should have started. Some people are also put off by inflated prices.
My impression is that dad will have no trouble in selling it.

Of course, but I have seen them sell for up around $1900, so if it's not an urgent sale, and it is in very good condition, why start selling it at $1000 to 1500? We can see from this thread that there is a fair bit of interest in them, and I think there may even be a "wanted" ad in the for sale section at the moment. Being black, it will also be more sought after as it will match well with any colour car.... It won't be difficult to sell at $1500, so if not in any great hurry, advertise it for more and you may well get more.

So have I, but not recently.

I paid $1.9k in the Winter of 2004 for a perfect 2001 NB8B white hardtop, i.e. demister, wiring ponytail & headlining, but prices have been heading South ever since.

i sold my red one with lining and demister from a 92 na6 for $1200 over 4 years ago.... getting one with a demister is key as long as the car that's getting it has the wiring for a demister as i'm not sure how much that would cost to install... having it in melb (in Brisvegas now) was great in the winter and without a/c the demister at least lets you see out the rear of the car without wiping the inside when the car fogs up.

I would't part with my hard top, unless I sold the car!

They are not only good in winter, but when it's 40+ outside, they sure make the A/C feel a lot better.

I paid $1700. for mine (demister version) 5yrs ago. It was purchased from Sydney sight unseen (no choice here in the sticks) and was in in average condition overall. I subsequently found that the small bolts for the collar on the rear latches were all stripped from being repeatedly overtightened. There was a fair bit of wear on the latches and the lining reeked from a thick nicotine build-up. At the time $1700. was close to the going price and there was not a lot being advertised.
Black is the premium colour.
