I bought mine on Ebay. You can get a good buy if you find one local and avoid shipping and handling which can run from $200 to $400. It needs to be carefully crated and shipped by a freight carrier. Unless you happen to find one in a matching color, it is going to be another $500 to $700 to paint.

You will also need some means of storing the hardtop, either overhead with a hoist or on a cart. This can be another $200 to $500. I made my own electric hoist for about $120.
