Ok, on my way home from chicago i spotted a park ave at a used dealership so i of course went & checkd it out and its very clean white 99 park ave ultra with a cream rag top only 112k which shockd me... Thing is im not to sure about the rag top.. I was gonna get it but then thought i would see if any one knew how well the rag tops hold up... Or if there is any type of care that they need to keep em looking nice...

I really mean "clean"

Priced at $4,300

Nice & smooth

Overall it is a pretty car, not sure I like the ragtop look on the PA'* though, I am not sure how the ragtops hold up, but I am sure a regular hardtop would last longer.

Same thought i was having... I believe the rag top could b a quick way to rust if not cared for and watched carefully..

As I understand it, no Park Avenues left the factory with a 'ragtop', and were typically an aftermarket job, and with that, mileage varies.

Even looking at the pictures, it is a nice looking car, but I feel the top doesn't really add anything to the looks.

I would go a few rounds at least though on the price, just make sure you are not overpaying.

Ya if the top is done well /quality materials, that is a pretty expensive addition!!
Looks like a nice PA! Vinyl tops in beige or white are difficult to keep clean though.
If I bought it, I would want to inquire about a UV protected, pro vinyl sealer.

I agree with William that it is a pretty car but the "ragtop" only looks good on cars like a Lincoln Town Car or Crown Vic. I would say keep looking as those tops can be more trouble than they are worth!!!!

Ive picked up an 03 PA Ultra.. Maroon in color n very clean.. Drove 2hrs to check it out.. And after a little price negotiating due to a few problems i spotted.. I drove her home!
