One thing I will say regards the roof - it's absolutely trivial to get it up and down even if the mechanism has totally lunched itself (as I know from experience!). It's the work of about two minutes to disconnect a few bits and then it goes up and down manually with ease. Short of a video of the thing going up and down, there's isn't much they could post image-wise that would prove the roof works properly. This is something that's easy enough to query and even easier to check on collection and before you fork over the cash.

pothole, I understand what you're saying, and I don't disagree, I'm just saying it wouldn't take much to put the top up for a few shots and show its condition as a part of the sale, not so much the mechanism, as I know exactly what you're saying, since the cable for the motor for my top fried the day I went to pick it up, leaving the seller to replace it that day. Pretty much only took him a half a day to knock it out, and works just fine. All I'm getting at is, if it's as pretty as the rest of the car then there's nothing to hide.
I wouldn't be looking for a vid or anything, just a few pics.
