My Dad’s looking for a new convertible and is ditching his sunturd (finally!). He is looking for something that can be driven year-round, and has a glass rear window with a defroster. A cabrio fits the bill perfectly. A Toyota Celica would be awesome too, but they are very hard to find in drop-top form. It doesn’t have to be too new. He drives a grand total of 4 miles a day, so there is no need for a $20K car for that task. Keep your eyes open for me! TIA ---

I’d love the Alfa, however Dad needs this to be a year round car with small back seat, and a semi-decent trunk. What’s Big Frank Looking to get out of the old Ital? ---

I love my Mini Cabrio S convertible. It would be hard to find an S for around 10-15k but a regular Mini Cabrio could be had. They rock in the winter too. ---

He’s in his 50s. I showed him a few pics of some modded Cabbys, and he said they look like they ride terrible. A stock MK3 is perfect. ---

> [@SPDboy](#): > > I love my Mini Cabrio S convertible. It would be hard to find an S for around 10-15k but a regular Mini Cabrio could be had. They rock in the winter too. Mini’s are a little too new for what he’s looking for. He drives a grand total f 4 miles a day, so he really doesn’t need a $10000+ car. Don’t get me wrong, I love Minis! I just drove my GFs '07 S to Tennessee, and had a blast. Just a little high end for what he needs. I found this: [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320239813857&rd=1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320239813857&rd=1) But I don’t think he will do the color. Also, NG900s get expensive to run as they get older.
