Default whats a sensible price for a hard top

Im going to sell the hard top that came with my 12 unlimited dual top group. What sort of price do they typically go for? Im not planning to sell here so this isnt a for sale thread in the wrong place.

i see aftermarket ones for sale around $2300 but the price diff in the dual top group is only about a grand so anyone know whats usual?

Normal second hand pricing is around 1500 from what I've seen.

I just sold my 2dr hard top from an 08 for 1000 bucks. Considering yours is almost brand new and if you were to sell it locally, you could probably bring in around 1500 like the previous poster said.

07-11 on Craigslist range between $800-1500 based on condition. A brand spanking new 2012 I say more like $1700-1900 just cause it has the newer (larger) windows. But if u wanna "hook some one up"... A killer deal would be $1200-1300

What do you think is a fair price for a slightly damaged one? It's got a crack in the upper corner passenger side by the rear window. It doesn't leak or anything and really just doesn't look nice. Someone with some fiberglass skill could probably get it fixed up for very little. $500-$800?

With freedom panels $800 is fair. I bought a windowless rear portion for $300 roughly and paid around $100 for each panel and $250 for the rear and side glass. So ya $800 for all might sell... But if ur only sellin the rear, I'd imagine you'll get more like $400-600

I have bought and sold two hard tops in the last 4 months, so four total transactions. All 4 of them ended up at $1200. That is where the market is here. $1500 is high high end. $1000 is probably the lowest you could pick one up at

I paid $1500 for mine, it's only a few months old. They were asking $2000.

You can drive down to the USA and get it at a dealership much cheaper than a dealership here in Ontario... it's pathetic.
