• How to sell my '88 Toyota Celica cabriolet?

  It depends on its condition. If it’s in top shape it would be worth advertising it through one of the enthusiast type classified magazines, or even a classic car auction. If it’s not up to scratch trade it in, put a ‘For Sale’ sign on it and park it in prominent places. You could also advertise it on sites like Carsguide.

• How much is a '99 Toyota Celica SX-R?

  It’s worth around $5000, and I wouldn’t hold on to it in the hope the value might eventually go up. I doubt that it will, and even if it does, it will take a long time for it to happen.

• Can you convert me?

  FOR a stylish drive there's the VW Beetle cabriolet and the Mini cabriolet. Both look smart and are fun to drive, and you will be able to get them for about $40,000. Another way to go is to buy a coupe/convertible -- one that has a folding metal roof instead of a soft-top. That way you get the security and refinement of a coupe and the fun of a convertible. The VW Eos is a good one, as is the Holden Astra Twin-Top, but they will set you back about $50,000. For a sportier ride there is the Mazda MX-5 coupe/convertible, which is more fun but is only a two-seater. All those cars will be reliable and all represent good value.
