I've seen amazing deals on old open top sports cars in the U.K. In the U.S. convertibles are considerably cheaper out West and down South. In the Northeast there are less to choose from and prices tend to run 20% higher. The price differential grows with age and is inversely proportional to the price. In other words, a 20 year old Porsche Boxster will cost more in New England than it does in California or Alabama. The winters are rough on them and thin the herd further. If you are willing to road trip, you can combine a mini vacation with a car buying trip. You can also get better deals at the end of the convertible season...i.e. October or November.
