WTB: 986 Hardtop (GTA)

[bcrdukes]

Long shot here but I am looking for a hardtop for my 986. Any colour will do but preference goes to Ocean Metallic Blue. I am located in the GTA and have the spindle and lock bolts installed for ease of purchase and installation. I am willing to travel or arrange shipping in the right circumstances. Thanks!

Had it on Kijiji a few months ago and not much action.
About a month ago one of my sons decided to put it on Facebook marketplace and it sold in 4 days.

Not many people looking for them. I bought it from someone that had it up for sale for over 2 months, he never used it, it was like brand new.
The price was good, so I knew I would make a profit on it.

Let me know if you ever come across one. There is one one Kijijo right now but we couldn't agree on a mutual price.

Np.
I don`t know what your max limit is, but you won`t find them for sale in Canada to often. I just bought it because my friend never used it and wanted the space in the garage.

Just so you have an idea what you can expect to pay. I bought it for $1150.00CAD and sold it for $1550.00CAD.
It was basically brand new, no scratches and had only been used 2 or 3 times.

In Northern California they're selling for 2-3x that much, and sell quickly. I've seen a few come up on craigslist but have been unable to get one so far.

Yeah...If they are in good condition you can expect to pay around 2k CAD. around here.
I bought my first one for $1850.00 CAD. Had to drive 5 hours round trip and then payed another $800.00 to get it painted + I had to buy the spinlocks & bolts from sun'coast.

Probably the same asshat that posted here: FS OEM 986 RTS

I asked him for a photo of the hardtop and he sent me a pic of a 996 hardtop

That's his real phone number. Have fun with it

I get a lot of PMs from known scammers.

Damn, these hard tops are hard to come by!

There`s one on kijiji for sale.
Make him/her an offer if the price is out of your budget

I did and was told to pound sand. I don't think my offer was out of line either.

That sucks.
The thing is that they don't come up for sale to often in Canada, that's why they ask so much for them.
Keep looking, sooner or later you'll find one that you're happy with the price.

$2k CAD seems reasonable.
