As an example, my Smart is a convertible that is fairly loaded up with leather seats and stuff and has the metalic paint and I paid $18.3K. A similarly equipped coupe with panorama roof is about $14.5K and a stripped version can be had for under $12K. Yes, people can ask whatever they want on ebay but they are not selling. Without a convertible IQ the point is moot, wouldn't even consider it. With a well equipped Yaris at about what my convertible costs, the IQ is not going to be a relative bargain.
