I’m far from retirement, but bought mine about 10 months ago last July/August. Been incredibly reliable so far, zero hassles, which is what I love about it. Being able to put the top down on the sunny days is a true blessing, and I strive to see other enjoy the little things as well.
If you’re looking for advise, avoid the 2005 model, heard nothing but bad things about their IMS issues. Pre-purchase inspections are the safest bet, if you’re incredibly cautious you’ll want to set aside around $4,000-$5,000 to do some preventative maintenance. If you can find one with a clear service history, and has had regular maintenance (oil changes every 4-5k miles, spark plugs, that sort of thing) then i’d say you’re good.
Haappy searching!
