Convertibles always do better in general. Turbos always require more in maintanance and the S model parts would be the rarest. Turbos are much faster tho, that in itself will make the cars hold value. I'd go for the drop top if you really want to have a car you can drive and hopefully break even (considering maintanance costs), or maybe even make a little cash, when you decide to sell it. If you can work on your own car and really really like speed, you might want to go the turboS route, but I wouldn't ,expect to be bragging much on total cost of ownership. The key to selling any of these cars is luck and the luxury of time to wait on your price, so it shouldn't be a primary driver.
