Also operate the top (open and close) several times and make sure everything it operating without any odd noises, rubbing, or resistance.

As said before the 06's are known to have oil consumption problems. An 07+ would be best but as far as I know there's not many options for aftermarket parts (all internals are different from the 03-05, and 06).

Thanks and yes, I'll be @ the track rental in April with you guys again. I'd love to buy an '07, by budget for the purchase of the car is $25k or less. That way I still have funds for the engine build and turbo kit.
