I am looking at one for sale and have never had a convertible. Is it cold in the winter?

Dear liblonana -  It's colder in the winter than in the summer.  Actually, convertibles on the whole are sealed fairly tight nowadays, not like back when I was a boy and a convertible top was hardly anything more than a pup tent flapping in the breeze overhead.  Take a look at the car and look for damage.  Take it for a ride and listen for "excessive" wind noise.  Do you feel any drafts?  And most importantly does the heater work properly?  Good luck from Bovan.
