I'm looking for a vert. It seems to be a mix of ones with hard tops and ones without. Can you get a hard top separately, and how much do they usually run?

 

Yes, many come up for sale. ~$500 plus paint job if needed. Here's one in Denver...

Oh okay better than I expected. I was thinking like $2k area.

I'm heart set on having a hard top for the winters, but have seen a few nice cars that don't have them. If the price is good it may actually be worth going that route and getting a hard top down the road. Thanks!

 

If you want a "vert", you will first have to learn its proper name. A convertible Porsche is called a Cabriolet, or "Cab" for short. I think only Vette owners call them verts. But then again this is an issue that is specific per vert.

 

Hahahaha, you made a funny!

 

vert is the term on bimmer forums.

 

Or skiing!?

 

skateboards - get vert - or ride the vert

 

^this. I know the proper term. When searching for cars tho, typing in convertible returns more than typing in cabriolet. Either way, 6 of one, half dozen of another. They talk about the same thing and I think it's pretty well understood either way.

 

Keep in mind that while the hard tops may not be that expensive, shipping them is costly and most sellers don't want to deal with the hassle.
