If consumers looking for used cars in New Jersey had turned on golfing’s U.S. Open on June 22, they may not have realized that they missed out on a chance to see racing star Danica Patrick in a used Ford Mustang.

Patrick was driving the car in a spot for Godaddy.com, and the web hosting provider says that a disagreement with either event sponsor Lexus or NBC kept the ad with the classic Mustang off of the program.

“It is beyond my wildest dreams that one of our commercials would be rejected only because it featured a classic American automobile,” said Bob Parsons, GoDaddy CEO and founder.

For those looking at used Ford Mustangs in New Jersey, models in the latest generation could offer a similar look to the muscle car driven by Danica in the ad, without the price of a collector vehicle or restoring a 1960s model.

The newer models take their design cues from the heyday of the Mustang in the late 1960s, and the 2006 model offers “compelling performance,” according to Edmunds.com editors.

As Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson and Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett prepare for their wedding this summer, photographers have noticed that she’s driving a Lexus IS while shopping and planning.

While no one has reported on why Wilkinson chose the entry-level sports sedan, used car buyers in New York could be enticed by the model’s engine choices, which range from a 204 horsepower V6 to a 5 liter V8 in the IS-F that propels the car to 60 miles per hour in less than 5 seconds.

More demure trims are available for those who may want more fuel economy, especially for buyers considering a used Lexus IS 250 in New York.

The 2007 model can still make it to 60 mph in under 8 seconds, according to manufacturer’s estimates, but the EPA estimated fuel mileage is about 21 miles per gallon.

Compared to other cars in its class like the BMW 3-series and the Audi A4, Edmunds.com editors say that it “excels when it comes to comfort and feature availability.”

Joining fellow Republican and green car driver Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator John McCain recently picked up a Ford Fusion hybrid, but for those who want to get good mileage like his new ride a used Ford Fusion could also be one option.

McCain wrote on Twitter that he was “excited” to pick up the car he had decided on a few days earlier.

A spokeswoman told the Associated Press he “was sold when he left the parking lot” in the vehicle, a replacement for the less fuel efficient 2004 Cadillac STS he had used previously.

But while he may be an early adopter of hybrids compared to other conservatives, he’s not the first in his family to go green.

His daughter Meghan, a Republican blogger, has owned a Toyota Prius since 2007, according to Newsweek.

Looking at hybrids like a used Toyota Prius in New York could save some buyers money at the gas pumps as well as be more environmentally friendly.

The 2004 model gets 44 miles per gallon, a fuel efficiency that is more than double that of the average passenger from that year, according to the Bureau of Transportation statistics.

When Conan O’Brien traveled across the country to begin hosting the Tonight Show, he didn’t forget his used Ford Taurus, as one of the first night’s skits began with him taking the used car around Hollywood.

In the bit at least, the car was “cool enough” for both major cities, and the new host jokingly showed off its ability to turn the eyes of admiring onlookers.

The green car is a recurring guest on shows that Conan has hosted, and the 1992 Taurus may be the biggest difference between O’Brien and outgoing host Jay Leno, as he told the Toronto Star, “He has, you know, like a 220-car collection. And I have my Ford Taurus.”

A more recent model from 2004 could offer those looking for used car buyers an inexpensive option that has a fair amount of space in either sedan or wagon form according to Edmunds.com editors.

The base engine in those cars is a V6 that puts out around 155 horsepower, but some buyers may be more interested to know that there is room for six passengers.

Actress and singer Sophie Monk may have something in common with those looking for used cars in New York: now that her Toyota Prius is heavily damaged if not totaled, she’s probably going to be in the market for her next car.

Her Prius was reportedly struck by an SUV in Hollywood, but the Australian allegedly was more frustrated with the milkshake that ended up in her hair, according to X17.

Reports aren’t clear as to her reasoning for buying the hybrid, but a used Toyota Prius may offer those looking for used cars in New York one option in fuel-efficient cars.

Since it was introduced in 2001, the car has garnered acclaim for its “outstanding” gas mileage, and several used models have been cited for their resale value and dependability, according to U.S. News and World Report.

For a relatively roomy mid-sized vehicle, the used Toyota Prius from 2005 offered “hatchback utility” and “excellent build quality,” according to Edmunds.com editors, although they warned that some of the controls could take some getting used to.

For those looking for used Hummers in New York, a governor from one of the most environmentally friendly states has one message: Hummers can be greener.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger drove a specially-modified Hummer H3 that uses hybrid technology near the state capitol in Sacramento to showcase the possibilities of a daily driver that has rugged looks and can reach up to 100 miles on a single gallon of fuel.

Citing fuel-efficient cars as the best move for the economy and the environment, Schwarzenegger said “I’m bringing cars like this one to the Capitol where we can show the world there is a market for smart and innovative technologies that will also create jobs in the auto industry.”

He has also worked to reduce his own carbon footprint, modifying one of the Hummers in his small fleet to run on biodiesel, according to Fortune.

For those looking at used Hummers in New York who may have the know-how, one tinkerer pushed a 2005 H3 to get roughly 60 miles per gallon, according to Fast Company.
