Rag Top Classic: 1992 Infiniti M30 Convertible
The F31 generation Infiniti M30 was essentially a Nissan Leopard re-badged and upgraded for the US luxury grand touring market. This meant that you got a rear-drive sports car sold as a competitor to the Toyota Supra and Mitsubishi Starion, instead of the typical front-drive junk you would expect from a re-badged Nissan. Today’s example isn’t perfect, but it is advertised as well maintained and looks okay in fuzzy photos. Find this 1992 Infiniti M30 Convertible offered for $4,000 CAD ($3,057 USD) in Toronto, ON, Canada via kijiji.net. Tip from Erik202.

Just about every scenario where I can imagine driving a convertible involves sand, dust, and sunscreen or general obliviousness to things like the consequences of going out for ice cream.
Black cars make me thing about needing to clean them.
This would be great if it were any color but black. Pale yellow is a great convertible color. Friends puke out the window and you barely notice.
Seems like a good deal other than being black however.
I’ve owned mostly white ‘verts. Did have a BRG VW Karman Ghia vert, and a pale yellow one as well.
Sadly, no one every yarked out the side (or inside, thankfully), so I cannot report on paint color and pukability.

PS Had a black Excursion (no, not a ‘vert). But yeah, my white Excursion is far easier to keep lookin’ sparkly.
