Lots of folks on this site have working convertible tops. What do you need to know?

If your top doesn't work, fix it, otherwise you should have a E86
Not sure what you'll get from these statistics since I'd hope most people fixed their roofs if they failed, so nearly everyone here should have a working roof. Now if you asked how many people have working working cup holders |

I cannot agree with the cup holder statement
My roof gave up a while ago, have a new motor sitting in the parts bin but I don't know for sure if its the motor or something else as the previous owner supposedly replaced the motor. Lucky enough to have a hard top though so currently couldn't give two shits if the rag top is working or not |

Yeah dealer price is crazy.. lots of diy on these but you'll need a garage if you can't do it in a day. Involve removing the top, are the lines shot or the hinge ?

I agree with Pungo's observation: "So, your top doesn't work, yet you didn't think you should mention that in your classified ad."
Last year when I was Z4 shopping, I drove a half hour to see a Z4 that a used car dealership had on the lot, which looked good. I loved the color and it was in good shape, but a quick once over, when given the key, revealed that the windows would not go up and the top would not go down. "It's a bad circuit board," the slick salesman said, "and we have it in the back and it will be installed right away." "Call me when that happens," I said, handing him my card. I never heard from him, and the ad was never changed to note that the car had giant electrical problems. I wasted another half hour driving home. |

As for the price OP was given from dealer that’s high. I had my motor and all lines/fittings replaced for that. Dealer quote for entire top replacement was 9k ish when I asked for curiosity. |

Seems like getting honest information from a seller (mostly dealers, tbh) is never easy. Years ago went to look at a Miata 6 year old Miata with 6K miles on it. Dealer described it as "mint, no scratches or dents". Upon seeing the car it indeed had a number of scratches, including on the side view mirrors. Dealers response to me was "it is mint....for a 6 year old car". Ever since then I ask "tell me everything that is wrong, and can I see pictures of all scratches/dents (assuming car is described as in excellent condition".
