Does anyone know where to buy a brand new soft top or a used one in good condition? How much are they going for or how much should i spend on one???

I believe Softopper is the only one left offering them. They look nice, but are pricey. If they had zip out sides... I'd own by now.

they are pretty expensive. i haven't been able to find a use one

I'm not sure I'd recommend buying a used one anyway. I think the material in most soft tops will dry out and become fragile with age. Unless it's a used Softopper, you won't be able to replace the fabric.

I had a Jeep soft top that barely lasted 7-8 years, but maybe there are some higher quality tops out there.

Best of luck!

$650 for a used top VS $860 for a new Softopper ? No brainer ! I love my Softopper.

I wish Kayline or STC were still around, I have had one on mine since 05, keep her in the garage and treat the top every few weeks in the summer. Good luck with your search.

I lucked out, and found a Bestop, new in the box, locally on Craigslist, for $200. It was manufactured in 1993, lol. It's probably the nicest thing on my truck!

I bought an STC fasttrack in 2003 and I have hardly had the hard top on since then. After 12 years it needs a few repairs, mostly seams that need restitching.

Bite the bullet and buy a new one. Used tops don't come around often and when they do a lot of times they are missing parts.
