Newbie: Deposit on 2013

I just put a deposit down on a "lightly used" 2013 1lt.

I drove one in my recent trip to vegas, and instantly fell in love. I have been seeing a lot of different postings around the top, which has be a little concerned, but seems like 2013 has been a better year.

Any input on what I should look for on the car before I take delivery, would be great. Thanks!

2013 supposedly have the "normal" top problems fixed.

Pull the trigger.

Put a catch can on day one.

I have had one problem with the convertible top on mine, but it appears to have been a fluke or isolated incident. I haven't had any of the "normal" top issues yet, but I only have 1200 miles on her. Good luck.

Go for it ! I have a early run 2011 and had the top replaced but I still have a permagrin every time I get behind the wheel. You won't regret it !

It's not a joke, but it certainly should be.
A unicorn bumper-guard is an equally important mod.
