Like that it's an 07 after some updates occurred; love that color exterior but can be challenging to keep clean but oh so pretty. What color interior? Ecru? And less mileage.
2). 3
I favor mint...makes me think if they care for details than they will care for big things. But who knows.
3). 1
Again with the mint descriptor. Room to negotiate?
4). 2
Indigo /saddle is really nice. If it chks out at the mechanic, that could be a deal. How minty is it?
Do all chk out at a mechanic and are accident free? Will it be a daily driver?
I recall in my youth, shopping for a used convertible. I was a stickler for going with the least mileage and ended up with a lower mileage car in a color I loathed for 6 years.
I still prefer low mileage, but learned to not completely overlook the aesthetics of ext & int. You want to enjoy the car.
Good luck with your decision and let us know what you decide,
Jtho here’s how I’d rank by “mintiness level” I’d say:
The FL Red/Ecru ‘02 102kmi (option 1) is a solid 9-9.5/10 - needs absolute nothing - $14k 02 SoFL pristine 2 Owner and mint w 102k mi at $14,000 (a solid 9+/10) - Everything done Tb/wp fluids pa pump, struts tie rods, seals and gaskets you name it - new Michelin’s and every Dlr record fr Day 1
VA Dark Blue Metallic over Saddle 02 Virgina car w 98k mi at $9,000 (solid 7.5/10) ask $9,000
The VA is Dark Blue Metallic (not Indigo) /Saddle Int and ‘02 w 98kmi (option 2) is a 7.5 but true condition still tbd - $9k - might need a couple k but Tb/wp fluids and new rubber seals around top doors and trunk done so can be driven as is, but not quite in minty condition of the other 3 options - prob needs great ext/int detail and buff out
The Seattle Indigo/Ecru ‘05 92kmi (potion 3) is an 8 - $16k 05 Seattle Dlr car w 92k mi at $16,000 (8.5/10) - Tb/wow etc done - suspension and under components all checked and good- needs nothing (aftermarket stern replaced ML system)
The OK Blk Sapphire over Ecru 07 Oklahoma private car Blk Sapph/Ecru (option 4) w 72kmi at $18,500 (solid 9/10) - Tb/wp done and new tip/trunk rubber seals so should need nothing (unless unknown suspension components; tbd)

your advice and opinions are extremely helpful to a novice like myself; esp when Ill also have to spend $800-$1000 to get it shipped fr Boca Raton to Nashville
So though SC not a cure for the bad times life throws at us , I could def use some enjoyable weekend special top down cruising w my better half of 32 yrs come Nov 14
why not spend the money on plane tickets and go get the car and drive it home? Would be a nice way to get to know the car.
with red driving with the top down you will get lots of smiles, waves and comments compared to the other colors. Gas stations, parking lots, driving through town... Extra little bonus for your better half.
