This Mustang Convertible Looks Fresh Off the Set of "Pimp My Ride"
The early 2000s was a wild time for car culture. The import scene was hopping after The Fast and the Furious hit cinemas, and in 2004, the world was gifted with Pimp My Ride. Powered by rapper Xzibit, the show featured “unsuspecting” car owners taking their rides to the extreme with wild colors, rims, and customizations. A few of the cars have surfaced over the years, but surprisingly, the one in this sales listing isn’t one of them.
Some Automakers Change CPO Vehicle Criteria to Boost Sales

Used Car of the Day: 2003 Volkswagen GTI 20th Anniversary
I use a corporate database that shows what's for sale on our forums to highlight each UCOTD, and the pickings were a bit slim today. So this modified 2003 Volkswagen GTI 20th Anniversary car stood out to me.
Especially since the seller wants just $9,000.

Used Car of the Day: 2004 Lamborghini Rolling Chassis
How does one get a Lamborghini cheap? By buying one that doesn't currently have an engine.

Used Car of the Day: 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS

Today we're featuring a car entering its fourth decade of life -- and apparently, it's still in decent shape. Not everyone who is in their 40s can say that.

Today's UCOTD is a $5,500 sporty Nissan that's over 30 years old, in "ok" shape, and according to the seller, able to surprise "American muscle".
It's a 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R with a SR20DET engine from a U12 Bluebird.
Used Car of the Day: 1991 BMW M5
Today's used car of the day is one of just 508 ever built. Yet it's priced by the seller at a reasonable $45,000.
Used Car of the Day: 2017 Chevrolet SS
I'll admit it -- the one chance I got to drive a Chevrolet SS, I was a bit disappointed, mostly because the manual transmission felt a bit too rubbery for me. That said, I still love the idea of this car -- a full-size performance sedan with a manual transmission and a big honkin' V8.
Maybe I should drive on over to Michigan and give this 2017 Chevrolet SS a shot. Maybe the car is better than I remember.
Used Car of the Day: 2001 Mercedes-Benz ML430
If you want to get into a Mercedes-Benz cheap, just wait 20+ years for depreciation to kick in.

Where Your Author Makes a Quick Purchase (and a Medium Length Trip)
Picture it. Last Tuesday, late afternoon. Checking the used convertible listings like I’d been doing for some time, it seemed the right car would never materialize. But on that particular afternoon, I happened to check Facebook Marketplace, a terrible place to search listings which I generally avoided. The default 249-mile search radius showed me a particular convertible I hadn’t seen listed before. Turned out it was the one.
Used Car of the Day: 2013 Volkswagen CC
The Volkswagen CC is one of those cars that always gets forgotten, it seems. Personally, I liked the manual transmission version. And what do we have here? A manual-transmission R-Line trim. For $12,500.

Where Your Author Still Hasn't Purchased a Used Convertible
Would you believe it’s been a year and a half since we last discussed used convertibles? Much has changed during the interim: The economy, the used-car market, and life in general. While some of you were fairly convinced I’d purchase a car “on the rebound” after I’d dumped the quality control nightmare that was the Golf SportWagen in July of 2021, you were wrong. Let’s catch up a bit.

Do you want a Cadillac Corvette but your bank account isn't fat? Take a gander at this XLR.
TTAC Throwback 1989 Lincoln Town Car
Lincoln’s famous tagline was “What a Luxury Car Should be,” and as the proud owner of a 1989 Town Car, this writer has no desire to quibble with their ad copy. Indeed, it’s one of the best cars ever to grace my driveway. The Townie was acquired as a direct trade for a Honda Magna 750 motorcycle; I know which of the two has given me greater pleasure, and it has four doors and four wheels. Besides, the bike would’ve probably killed me.
