The only big brand to do that in the US is Ford/Lincoln - easy enough to convert from one to the other.

Looking at used convertibles that are available in a manual transmission, I've come to the 328i (would prefer the 335, but don't want to deal with the known issues) and the and Audi TT. Ideally, I'd like to be in the $15K range, but could go to $20K if it was right. A lot of these are up there in mileage.
Am I signing up for a world of hurt with these models? These are two that interest me currently:
2008 Audi TT
2012 BMW 3 Series
I am telling myself that patience will help me because even if I get a convertible now, I won't really be able to drive it because winter is coming. Also, there may be the potential for the impacts of the chip shortage to be alleviated come spring, bringing the values of these down a bit? One can hope...
Out of curiosity, what is the 24 month residual here on a WRX. Typically they’re not high enough over 36 month values to be worth it.
pretty wide net, NJ and Ill. I almost was at the dealer this week that has the BMW. Probably a little pricey (but these days, who knows) but I really don't like black over black on anything, and especially not a convertible. If that was colors I liked, different story!

At least for myself, I'm willing to wait awhile to get my next ride and hoping that those crazy bogus admin fees are a thing of the past as I won't pay them, no way...no how! I'll just find a dealer that no longer has them and purchase there. Down here in South Florida, there are many Toyota & Hyundai/Kia dealers, so have plenty to choose from. I've also added the Kia Seltos to my short list as the more I see of them on the roads, the more I like them. Gives me the added height I'm looking for but only drawback is I'd have to get an AWD model since I want the 1.6 turbo engine top of the line model. Don't really need AWD down here but might have to bite the bullet on this one but the Toyota C C is still the number one vehicle I want to look at.
Volunteered to do a four hour shift at Toyota today, they have service from 7 to 4 on Sundays, so, gotta run! I'll be working six days in a row this week...am I crazy or what???

Just locked in my build for a 2022 E450 All Terrain. Not a crazy build and MSRP is $77,180. For a 3 year lease, 10k miles/year, $0 down, MB wants $1,619/month. Residual is $42,449. Per my sales rep, MB is offering no discounts and no incentives on the All Terrain. Might just buy instead.
According to KBB, the BMW is $1K overpriced, and the Audi is $5K overpriced. I would think KBB has adjusted for recent inflations in the vehicle market, but who knows.
I like that Audi. I was considering one in 2008 but the price exceeded my budget.

I think you would need to twist his arm pretty hard to get him to trek out just to look at / drive cars.

I ran the code reader on the Prius and the good news is that it's not the same code. The bad news is that its a P0420, which generally means a bad catalytic converter. The previous owner had the OEM cat replaced--I assume with an aftermarket--but I don't know how long ago. The aftermarket ones generally do not last as long as OEM, from what I can tell, so it's very possible it could have gone bad again. Anyway, I reset the code and we'll see whether it comes back.

beat the snot out of itgive it a nice gentle test drive. Not that I am any kind of expert, but I can spot the obvious stuff, and had decent spidey senses to tell me if something seems off.2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
I like that though. I would be happy to have one of that vintage to toy around with, assuming it was not rusty (highly unlikely at this point, especially if it was ever used around here).

Drive home was uneventful. Everything works, brakes are good (I had no idea you could still get rear drums on an SUV in 2010), tires are almost new Goodyears. It does stink inside. From our discussions and the clues, I believe it to be a result of him getting the interior steamed and then locking it up and leaving it for weeks. Just cosmetics.

Everything looked stock, other than an aftermarket head unit.
I actually took this picture for you. 1977 model

I like it. looks well used but honest. I would take it for a price that was not absurd.

Wife told me today she’d entertain us getting an M240 if I flipped both the ZHP and the Outback. This feels like a trap to get me to give up a third car.
Thanks. I’m being careful what I put in the tank on account of the rubber fuel bladder, which sometimes goes bad. If the code returns, I will do some research on the cleaner. Otherwise, I think an aftermarket cat is about $250-400 installed (source: my friend who had hers stolen).

I always tell our detailers to avoid shampooing used car interiors unless they really need it. Otherwise the vehicles come back from detail, stay locked while on the lot, and the moisture evaporates fogging up all the windows and leaving a wet dog smell inside. You just need to vent it properly and put some air freshener inside.

Take it for what its worth but I still regret getting rid of my ZHP. It probably would have been gone by now anyway for a variety of reasons but I still miss it.
