Looking to buy a convertible

So I'm looking to buy a convertible this year.  I've always been partial to convertibles but when I wrecked my bike, I determined that I'd never ride again and would simply replace my bike with a topless cage (or like my daughter Brianne explains, "a car without a lid").

My quandary is now whether it would be better to buy a convertible in the winter or if it would make any difference at all.  I'm sure if I asked a salesperson somewhere that would give me a number of arguments about how right now was the best time to buy a car but I'm looking for some unbiased advice.

I'm going to buy a used car (I don't believe I'll ever buy new again).  I'd like to buy from an individual but I rarely find listings from individuals.  Do you think the time of year will make a difference assuming that I'm probably going to find the car I want on some used lot?  If so, what month do you think would be best?  Is late Feb too close to spring?

So, I bought that car.  It was Feb 27 or something.  I found it by searching ebay and autotrader and something else.  I figured out what the car I wanted was going for, found a good deal one week, went and drove it and took it home.  I just saw that they're changing the body style in 2009.  That probably would have had the greatest impact on the price.  If I was willing to wait another year, I probably could have saved some coin on a newer model.  Oh well - I love it (and better love it for 10 or so more years...)
