  Howdy all.  I've got an opportunity to buy a good but used tonneau for
my 250.  Am I crazy to buy a used tonneau, given how our cars each have
a "unique" personality in terms of fit and finish?  Am I better off
spending the extra money to buy a new one and install the snaps myself?

Can you work out a "trial fit, return if it doesn't work" deal? 
Frankly, unless this "donor" tonneau came from a car that didn't 
originally have a tonneau (or door snaps for same) and was badly 
fitted, it should be just fine. Back in the "old days," some 
aftermarket tonneaus for these cars (read: AMCO) came with snaps 
installed.
