Good luck with your search. I'm also keeping an eye out for the right one. Price is definitely a consideration in my case. There seems to be may more Tips than sticks for sale if that matters to you.

AJ USA had a white targa when I spoke with them about four weeks ago. It is still listed on their web site. I seriously thought about it.

I saw a white Targa for sale on what seemed to be a mechanic's lot in Glendale recently; snapped a camera photo but unfortunately the phone number on the for sale sign is not legible. I think it had higher milage, maybe around 70K. Did not look pristine and was probably a daily driver, but it was OK and may just need some TLC. I don't remember if it was stick or Tip. That's all I know. If this is something you might have interest in, I can try and stop by and get some more information (have not seen it sitting there lately).
