BEFORE BUYING A USED CONVERTIBLE

Whilst convertible cars are super entertaining on a clear day, as with any car purchase it’s important to consider whether it is the right choice for you. Ask yourself:

  • Is the car big enough for your needs?
  • Does it have enough boot space and practicality for your requirements?
  • Does it fit within your budget?

If the answer is yes to all three questions, the only thing left to ask is whether you want a soft-top or a hardtop? There are pros and cons to each type:

  • Hardtops are more secure and better insulated from the weather
  • But hardtops are usually more expensive and they look like regular cars, losing some of the stylistic appeal of a convertible
  • Soft-tops are typically cheaper and they retain that classic convertible look
  • Although soft-tops roofs can be harder to maintain
