Thnak sofr such quick response. I favor the 93 convertible, but don't mind the coop as well. The prices here are very reasonable about $13-20K - US. I am located in San Diego. There seems to be more convertibles then the coops, but I would imagine that that is because of the local climate. I am essentailly looking for a foreign, anything besides a BMW - nice cars, but not my style. I have always been attracted to the Saabs, but have never met anyone who has owned one...
