In terms of weather late June to Early Sept....

In terms of buying convertibles, best time is December when its raining!

Completely agree - if you want agood price on a convertible, don't come in summer!
Buyers for rag tops are more plentiful in summer. On the flip side, in mid winter there will be fewer for sale!

The holiday Cos are offering very cheap deals to Malta from UK at the moment - this may be as good a time as any for cheap flights. The weather is always going to be 'terrible' compared to Malta - no matter what time of year!

Come ASAP, the £ seems to be strengthening against the euro at the moment, altho' if a UK buyer buys in £'s and has a holiday in Malta and Frank settles in euros it should cut out exchange dealers commission

Sorry I'm not coming to Malta this year

well to be honest I need the car ASAP but I am trying to find some excuse to take some time in buying it! But I think id better get it ASAP as my bro took my daily Felicia and I'm left with a very very bouncy Metro

which though for me is fine, it's not exactly what a girl would want to ride in! lol

Good choice on the TF - I have an earlier F as my every day car. Some bargains around as well but they do seem to be selling better now that its spring time.

Have a look here for lots of F/TF info

just make sure,that the head gasket and cam belt has been replaced if your getting a high milage one.the k series engine likes to eat head gaskets.that being said it is a nice engine.
