Usher In The Summer With This Mint 1992 Geo Metro Convertible

Back in May, we reported that a mint-condition 1992 Geo Metro convertible had sold for a reasonable $4,000 at an online auction hosted by RM Sotheby’s. At the time, we thought that model was probably one of the few Geo Metro convertibles left in existence that was still in good shape. There may be more mint Metros out there than we thought, though, because now another has been listed for sale via a site called RadForSale.com.
The Metro in question is a 1992 model year convertible with a head-turning Competition Blue exterior, grey cloth interior and, importantly, the five-speed manual transmission. The car is mostly as it was when it left the factory in Japan 30 years ago, featuring the factory 13-inch wheels with original Geo hubcaps, and factory vinyl graphics. The only modification is an aftermarket Pioneer CD deck, which replaces the cassette player that was fitted as standard.
The odometer shows just over 30,000 miles, however the meter is believed to have rolled over, with a CarFAX report indicating the car has actually travelled roughly 130,000 miles over the course of its lifetime. It nevertheless is in good shape, showing only minor exterior trim and paint blemishes. The modest 55 horsepower 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine is without issue and is accompanied by an Interstate battery that was installed in 2019. The driver’s side CV boot is torn, but the winning bidder will be provided with a replacement CV axle and boot.
According to RadForSale.com, this 1992 Geo Metro convertible is offered without reserve and is sold with a clean California title, current smog certification, some past service records and the original manuals. As of this writing, the car has attracted just $1,100 worth of bids, though with six days still left on the auction, this mint 1990s convertible is bound to attract some more attention before the sale closes.

It will probably end up selling for way more than it’s worth.
It also looks like it had a kind of lousy paint job with all that overspray.
This was on carsandbids a few weeks ago.
I’d need more room to keep some of these wonderful curiosities and time capsules which show up on this site.
I dunno what exactly I would pay but I know I would pay more if it had the old cassette tape player!
Sorry: That car is 2 small for someone who stands 5’7″ & about 175-210lb’s (an average person).
I own a 1992, and am 6’2 and 235 and fit quite well. It’s roomier than one would think, top up or top down.
Would really love to make a bid, nothing out of the park range. I’m on disability and a hospice patient. I once owned a convertible went to beach.best trip every with my family. Hope to make one more time to the beach this summer it would be amazing if I could do it in a convertible one more last time. I’ve been blessed to make it this long. Maybe the good lord is waiting for me to get my last wish and trip I long for, it’s my tranquility of god’s wonders. Thanks. Sorry its so long. God bless 🙏.
My wife bought one when she turned 50, 29 years ago! We were in the Krum Hallum dealership in Vicksburg, MI and they had four of them on the floor room facing out the window. I said to her “That’s what you need!” she said “If they have an automatic I’d buy one!” Well one was an automatic, a red one and she bought it! It was under $10,000 ! We stored it in the winter and drove to Florida one summer and had a blast with it most summers! I almost wish we still had it!
Priceless memory. It’s great for you to have shared it with us. Thank you.
