=======================
Easier to work backward on this on...
I personally have no problem with the miles...
But I can see you writing a few big checks for the paint (3-5K)
The top will set you back only a few hundred...but installation
another 3 hundred... The carpet I honestly can`t remember the prices
for weatherstripping is (double ouch honestly) ...
I think you are looking at at least 6K for cosmetic repairs..
In other words under 5 K is about all I would be willing to pay...

Top will run you about $800-1000 to have replaced....
Weather strips somewhere around $700 -$800.
Paint roughly $3-4 grand.
Carpet, I`d guess $600
Headlights somewhere around $250

I have priced many of the items needed through ecklers and I would be doing
a lot of the cosmetic work myself. I also was thinking along the line of
less than 5K for it like it sits now, and around 3K for parts to repair and
2-3K for the paint. So if I get in it and fix it for less than 10K, I would
still have a car that should be worth a little more than what I have in it,
I hope! Am I right?
Thanks for your input.
