Used solid top price
I will be taking delivery of a new coupe shortly after the first of the year with the two top option. Should I decide to sell the solid top, what is it worth. Haven't seen any in the for sale section.

Why not keep both tops that come with the car at least initially? You might like the look of the second top and enjoy changing the look of the car by rotation of tops with the seasons. If you want to sell one I would expect you could get within a few hundred of new. Buying from an individual most will expect a discount because buying second hand is "as is". I understand the glass top tends to be hotter in the summer. Good luck.

I suspect that's true, as when I was at the plant back in June, I saw painted tops everywhere. Even looking at cars at my local dealer, seemed that painted tops are not in short supply.

I personally don't have it since I ordered both tops. But from reports on here it's the exact same piece, just cut and re-finished right down the middle. It definitely adds versatility for road trips with a copilot for sure.

Mine work great. They have been in use going back to my '07 and no issues with the suction cups. I like the two piece as it is easier to store in the cargo compartment. Evidently he only makes it in black now. Mine are a light gray which I prefer.

Thanks for the info. I might go with the one piece, but I won't need it until maybe April. My interior is brownstone, so I would imagine the black would be fine.
