I'm looking at a 92 900S red convertible, 5 spd, 2 door, loaded, 160k It is in very impressive condition. Paint, interior, engine compartment all excellent. Drives beautifully, very solid. The problem is the top. It has a series of small tears in the external fabric, each about 3/4" long. It is clearly at the end of its useful life. He says he just patches the holes as they develop. I would need to replace the top or forget it. He wants 5500$, which is nuts (emotional attachment factor, I think), but that was before the top was discussed. He's ready to deal now. I was thinking of offering around 4000$. \ Is that reasonable, or should I run from this one? Dave
