Default Hard Top (New England)

In search of a hard top for my 99. Doesn't need to be pretty, just functional. Located in VT and been on the lookout for one in the NH/MA/NY area for a while, with no luck.

Thanks

If you need one stat, contact expoline auto in Derry, NH. They're not the cheapest retailer, but they pretty much have everything in stock all the time.

Good call. I had sent an email out to them yesterday. I agree the hard tops I've seen from them in the past aren't cheap, but a potential fallback for sure.

Based on their other prices I'd expect you to be able to buy a 1.6 for as much as the top. And I dont mean the engine, I mean a running and driving car.

I have an extra one kicking around. But you'd really be better off just buying a 2k NA with a hard top, removing the top and re-listing it for the same price you paid for it.

Any interest in selling it? Don't have the means to have another car sitting around here waiting to be sold, having only taken the hard top from it.

Might be able to negotiate a bit given that business is probably a bit slower for the in the winter.

​​​​​​​Hardtop business is never slow in the winter. Up in the north east I would expect to be paying a premium getting a hardtop this time of the year.

Agreed. Every top priced under a grand has been scooped up off craigslist in a matter of hours.
