Don't completely discount the early convertibles. I've got 2 of them. One was my fathers that he purchased Brand New and was the first one delivered to the Ford Dealer in Lilydale (so a very early build). It has been a great little car with nothing going wrong at all. It's a turbo and great to drive.
The other I purchased as a second car to leave at the holiday house. Great fun down the coast in summer.
These models did get a bad wrap in the first few years and I'm sure there were some individual examples that were not great, but that doesn't apply to all. They are relatively simple to fix, inexpensive to run and great value for money to buy. Talk to a few people that have actually got them and most are happy.
