Used Convertible Car

In the last decade, convertible cars have recorded a so called “renaissance” in terms of technology, design and efficiency. Many people considered for a long time that convertibles were perfect only for summer days, but when the winter came these cars became unbearable to drive because of the noisy fabric tops and insulation. Nowadays, all these inconveniences no longer exist. The retractable hardtops are made of folding metal roof which is similar to that of a factory coupe and the quality of the materials used has also improved. As a result, nowadays convertible cars are considered as “year-round” vehicles.

In addition, the image of convertibles was improved in the eye of the customer because of the usage of a chassis that is similar to that used for coupes. We all know that a roof is an important component for a car and the older convertibles had a lot of chassis and body flex when the car took corners. That was irritating for most drivers. Nowadays, the advances made on convertibles made it possible for a used car market to appear. You have the possibility to choose anything from an entry-level to a high luxury convertible depending on your lifestyle and needs. Some convertibles have even become some of the best sold cars on the market after the improvement of their powertrain and features.

If you are interested in buying a used convertible car you can consider buying one of the three most popular and best used convertibles available on the market. First on my list are the BMW 3 Series models manufactured between 2000 and 2010. This used convertible is one of the best German convertible cars available on the market. It is equipped with different engine versions including a 3.0 liter V6 engine able to produce 231 horsepower, a 2 liter, a 2.3 liter or a 2.5 liter engine version.

Another interesting used convertible car is the Ford Mustang manufactured between 2005 and 2007 with prices which vary between $11,402 for a 2005 model and $15,958 for a used 2007 Mustang.
