Looking to buy a summer convertible for the wife. Stumbled upon a 2009 335i convertible 66k miles car is mint condition. What's a good price on this.

Whatever’s a good price keep in mind that if you don’t wrench on the car yourself you’re likely to need several thousand dollars in work in the next 20k miles.

Also I don’t own a vert, but I’ve read several owners with top issues as the cars get older...

Thanks for info. I have never had a 3 series before aside form the 15 we bought our son. I'm a pretty good DIYer. What are common issues ? I can also check service records and see what was done.

Check the sticky buyers guide at the top of the page. If you can diy and you’ve got spare time on your hands then go for it...
