What did you pay for it? $1200 with hardtop wall mount and OEM cover. Bought the spinlocks separately.
When? 2016
Color and condition? Arctic Silver / Great Condition / No Ears
Local or Shipped? Local pickup

For me it's a $1200 wall decoration in the garage. Barely used perhaps because it's not color matching with my car. I have no idea why I bought it. I will consider matching the color one day if I ever put it to use. The problem with that is it won't be an exact match versus the 20 year old age paint on my car.

I agree with Woody that it defeats the purpose of a convertible and the price range he said to be looking at. You can find great deals for hardtops with patience. The biggest factor other than price is where is the seller and the pickup location as shipping is usually not the best option. That's usually the deal breaker.

I do like that the hardtop makes the car a more quieter ride and it gives your Boxster another look to it (top down, top up, hardtop up).
