In that class I would go with the Camaro convertible. If I am going to give up my interior, near 500hp would be the only reason why. Looks much better than the IS too.

Funny you say this because I was thinking the exact same thing. The new Camaro ZL1 coming out next year looks really nice.

A lot of independent dealers are getting these cars from auction and selling them dirt cheap. I like to think that all those cars were wrecked, flooded, and cursed by the VOODOO God Babaloo. I buy cars with the same mentality I got married. Keep your eyes wide open before you make the deal, then close your eyes forever and enjoy it.
I think you got a good deal, you purchased a 65k car for 23! How does the guy feel who bought it new and never drove it? He took a money bath !

I bet it screams!

The IS-C is clearly for a different target market. For the time it's been out, I only know of one SC430 member who bought it on CL. I'm sure there are more. That clearly states that IS-C owners are not necessarily the same market as SC430 owners...OR that we just don't want to give up our cars for that.
Entirely different car and target market. The MB SL is different than their coupe convertible. Just because the top goes down does not make similar automotive driving experiences.
