Message	The question is: How desirable are slicktops? The answer is, more desirable than their otherwise equivalent t-top cousins. Yes, 20 years ago they were the less-desirable model. But that’s ancient history. In the current market, they are more desirable. The free-market price is dictating that truth. They sell for more. You may want to write off that phenomenon to uninformed buyers, incompetent kids, or people purchasing them strictly because they're "rare." But the reason I want one, and I believe the reason most people want one, is because: This car… Looks better than this car… This car… Looks better than this car… This car… Looks better than this car… Notice, nothing was said about rarity, weight, JDM, cloth seats, track-car, A/C controls, or being a “special variant.” My point is, stop writing off slicktop enthusiasts as uninformed, niche, or exceptional Z guys. We just think slicktops are better, that’s all :-)
