Default My car rattles too much.

I have a 08 convertible GT thats very well cared for, but whenever i go through bumpy roads there are very perceivable rattles here and there, i always thought it was due to the stiff supsension and the convertible frame, but since im getting ready to sell it i want to be sure its normal and not something that wil cause it to lose its value.

It's a Ford, not a Lexus. Sorry.

convertible stang s197's are the worst handling car ever...mine squeaked .squeaked.vibrated and bounced about like mad..there's so much energy transfered into the chassis it's crazy.my friend has a porsche 911 vert..he drove my stang and laughed..he was shocked how bad it droned and vibrated..the s197 vert is not a sports car..tbh i dont know wot it is?
buy a coupe if want a quieter more stable car.
