It pays to be persistent. I located 4 Arctic Silver hard tops last summer in a range of prices. I suspect that AS is one of the most abundant colors, so I'm sure it would be harder to find other colors.

Here's my strategy:

1. Check Craigslist, Autotrader, Cars.com and eBay frequently.
2. If you see a car being sold with a hard top, inquire about buying the top separately. (A hard top only adds about $800 to the value of the car when you use the pricing guides, and not every prospective Boxster owner wants one.)
3. Be flexible. No one wants to ship a hard top so you may need to be willing to make a road trip to pick one up.

I actually bought my hard top from a gentleman in South Carolina. He was moving to Georgia and didn't think he would use it again. The closing date of the eBay auction was July 3 and he wouldn't ship. So I got a good price because of the time of year and location.

Good luck.
