8. 2005 Cadillac CTS-V <$12,000
Cadillac is characterized as the classiest American auto brand going, and rightfully so when you take a look at the CTS-V. This sedan is the modern version of Cadillac’s sophisticated vision of days gone by. The 2005 model is sleek, the picture of elegance. Suffice it to say, you will have no problem pulling off the impression of affluence.
Make no mistake about it, the CTS-V is not your grandmother’s Caddie designed solely for trips to the grocery store. It has the power to more than complement its good looks. The CTS-V will show that you appreciate the finer things in life, but will not sacrifice performance in the exchange.

However, if you can find a convertible with low mileage, you have hit the jackpot. As a bonus, everyone will think that you have come into a sizable chunk of change as well.
