Have a car you need to sell first? 2004 6MT ZHP sedan in Silver Gray over gray leather

Here's the bottom line up front: the wife & I are planning a cruise of the PCH for our fifth anniversary in May 2014 & I'd like it to be in a convertible ZHP. Ideally, someone would have an Imola over Alcantara vert & he'd really want to straight-up swap for a well-cared for Silver Gray sedan.

I don't have the extra cash on hand to just buy another ZHP; the bulk of my budget (~90%) for this WTB is my current ZHP. Additionally, since I'm beginning the search a year out, I have time on my side to work out the logistic & financial details of the deal.

So, that said, who would like to give up the hopeless life of driving around a ZHP saddled with a few extra hundred pounds, two missing doors, & a missing roof??
