Early Christmas Idea: Manual Roof 944 Saratoga Top

I have a manual 944 Saratoga Top for sale. It's the later frameless type. I purchased it earlier this year. I used it twice, and for the rest of the time it sat under my bed while I had the engine out of the car. I no longer have a 944 of my own, and other 944s in my family do not have a manual roof, so I am selling this.

I would consider the condition to be fair-to-good overall. The glass has perhaps a dozen normal rock chips that you'll find on most any car windshield. There are a few scratches, less than 1.5" long, that you can see from the right (or wrong) angles. There is some paint missing from the latches, but they are all fully functional. The seal is not dry, but tends to flake off and is a little gooey. I have read here that you can purchase two VW Jetta sunroof seals as replacements. It seemed to seal better than my regular roof, however. Includes a brown factory sunroof bag in OK shape. E-mail me at jszarkowicz87 AT gmail DOT com for high resolution pictures. I'll try to accommodate requests for other pictures, though it's difficult to photograph tinted glass.

I have tried to magnify the flaws, because a Saratoga is considered a "premium" item for 944s and I don't want to disappoint the new owner. It's a fully usable top, and I really liked how it brightened the interior of the car. You can't see any glass flaws from sitting inside the car, nor does it detract from the general appearance of a 944. I am asking $550 shipped, packed, and insured by UPS east of the Mississippi, $575 west of the Mississippi.
