ITEM  14.    INDEMNIFICATION  OF  DIRECTORS  AND  OFFICERS.

     The  Company's  Certificate  of Incorporation provides that a director of
the  Company  shall  not  be  personally  liable  to  the  Corporation  or its
stockholders  for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except  for liability for: (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the  Company  or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
which  involve  intentional  misconduct  or  a knowing violation of law; (iii)
liability  for  payments  of  dividends  or  stock purchases or redemptions in
violation  of Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) any
transaction  from  which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In
addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
shall  to  the  fullest  extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation
Law,  as  the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any
such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation
to  provide  broader  indemnification  rights  than  such  law  permitted  the
corporation  to  provide prior to such amendment), indemnify and hold harmless
any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to or is
otherwise  involved  in  any  threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason
of  the  fact  that  such  person  is  or  was  a  director  or officer of the
corporation,  or  is  or  was  serving  at the request of the corporation as a
director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee  benefit  plan  (hereinafter  an  "Indemnitee")  against  expenses,
liabilities  and  losses  (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise
taxes  or  penalties  paid  in  connection with the Employee Retirement Income
Security  Act  of 1974, as amended, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred  or  suffered  by  such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided,
however,  that  except  as  otherwise  provided with respect to proceedings to
enforce  rights  to  indemnification,  the  Company  shall  indemnify any such
Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
Indemnitee only if such proceeding or part thereof was authorized by the board
of  directors  of  the  Company.

     The  right  to  indemnification  set forth above includes the right to be
paid  by  the  Company  the  expenses  (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
defending  any  such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however,  that,  if  the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law  requires,  an
advancement  of  expenses  incurred  by  an  Indemnitee  in  his capacity as a
director  or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered  by  such  Indemnitee,  including,  without limitation, service to an
employee  benefit  plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an
undertaking,  by  or  on  behalf  of  such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so
advanced  if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from
which  there  is  not  further  right  to  appeal  that such Indemnitee is not
entitled  to be indemnified for such expenses under this section or otherwise.
The  rights  to  indemnification  and to the advancement of expenses conferred
herewith  are  contract rights and continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased
to  be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the
Indemnitee's  heirs,  executors  and  administrators.

     The  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law provides that indemnification is
permissible  only when the director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good
faith  and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests  of  the  Company,  and,  with  respect  to  any  criminal action or
proceeding,  had  no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The
Delaware  General Corporation Law also precludes indemnification in respect of
any  claim,  issue,  or  matter as to which an officer, director, employee, or
agent  shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to
the  extent  that  the  Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
suit  was brought shall determine that, despite such adjudication of liability
but  in  view  of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or  such  other  court  shall  deem  proper.

     For  information  regarding  the  Company's  undertaking  to  submit  to
adjudication  the  issue  of  indemnification  for violation of the securities
laws,  see  Item  17  hereof.

ITEM  15.    RECENT  SALES  OF  UNREGISTERED  SECURITIES.

     On May 31, 1994: (i) Steven P. Johnson purchased 290,000 shares of Common
Stock  from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000; (ii) Scott
A.  Allen  and Wm. Don Gray each purchased 116,000 shares of Common Stock from
the  Company for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000; (iii) Steven T. Darak
and  Nancy  V.  Young  each  purchased  58,000 shares of Common Stock from the
Company  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $5,000;  (iv) Peter R. Fratt
purchased  46,400  shares  of  Common  Stock from the Company for an aggregate
purchase  price  of  $4,000;  (v)  and Eric J. Splaver and Mary E. Reiner each
purchased  11,600  shares  of  Common  Stock from the Company for an aggregate
purchase  price  of  $1,000.

     On  March  22,  1995,  Walter  T. Vonsh purchased 58,000 shares of Common
Stock  from  the  Company  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $5,000.

<PAGE>
     On  August  31,  1995,  SunAmerica  purchased $3 million of the Company's
convertible  subordinated  debt.  This indebtedness was due December 31, 1998,
and  bore  interest at a per annum rate of 12.5%, payable quarterly. Effective
June  21, 1996, SunAmerica converted the note into Common Stock of the Company
at  the initial public offering price per share (444,444 shares at the initial
public  offering  price  of  $6.75  per  share).

     On  December  31,  1995,  Verde  Investments  converted  $10,000,000  of
subordinated  debt  into 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock. In
November  1996,  the  Preferred  Stock  was  redeemed  by  the  Company.

     On April 24, 1996, the Company reincorporated from Arizona to Delaware by
way  of a merger in which the Company, an Arizona corporation, merged with and
into  a  newly created Delaware subsidiary of the Company. In the merger, each
share  of  the  Arizona  corporation's issued and outstanding common stock was
exchanged  for 1.16 shares of the Delaware corporation's common stock and each
option  to  purchase  shares  of  the  Arizona  corporation's common stock was
exchanged  for  1.16  options to purchase shares of the Delaware corporation's
common  stock.  All share figures set forth above give effect to this exchange
ratio.

     On  June  21,  1996,  in  connection  with  the  Company's initial public
offering,  the  Company issued warrants to Cruttenden Roth to purchase 170,000
shares  of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $9.45.  The warrants
were  issued  in  exchange  for  $1,700  pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement
between  the Company and Cruttenden Roth, as the representative of the several
underwriters  in  the  initial  public  offering,  and  pursuant  to  a
Representative's  Warrant  Agreement  between the Company and Cruttenden Roth.
In  connection  with  the Company's initial public offering, on June 21, 1996,
Sun  America  converted  $3,000,000  of  subordinated  debt  into Common Stock
(444,444  shares  at  the initial public offering price of $6.75 per share) in
accordance  with the terms of a Convertible Note, dated as of August 31, 1995.
In  addition,  in partial consideration for Sun America's agreement to convert
the  Convertible Note, the Company issued warrants to Sun America, on June 21,
1996,  to purchase 121,023 (as adjusted) shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price  of  $6.75.

     On  February  13, 1997, the Company sold 5,075,500 shares of Common Stock
to  approximately 115 institutional purchasers for an aggregate purchase price
of  $94,531,188.  Friedman,  Billings,  Ramsey  & Co., Inc. acted as placement
agent  in the transaction. The total proceeds to the Company, net of discounts
and  commissions,  was  $89,804,629  before  deducting  offering  expenses.

     Exemption  from  registration  for  each  transaction described above was
claimed  pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions
by  an  issuer  not  involving any public offering and/or pursuant to Rule 145
under  the  Securities Act regarding transactions the sole purpose of which is
to  change  an  issuer's  domicile  solely  within  the  United  States.

effective  date  of  the  registration  statement  (or  the  most  recent
post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,  individually or in the aggregate,
represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the  information  set  forth  in  the
registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any  increase  or
decrease  in  volume  of  securities  offered  (if  the  total dollar value of
securities  offered  would  not  exceed  that  which  was  registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be  reflected  in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more  than  a  20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the  "Calculation  of  Registration  Fee"  table in the effective registration
statement;

(iii)          To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in the registration statement or any
material  change  to  such  information  in  the  registration  statement;

(2)  That,  for  the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act  of  1933,  each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating  to  the securities offered therein, and the
offering  of  such  securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona  fide  offering  thereof.

(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the  securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     Insofar  as  indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the  Registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,  or  otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act  and  is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In  the  event  that  a  claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment by the
Registrant  of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person  of  the  Registrant  in  the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted  by  such director, officer or controlling person in
connection  with  the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in  the  opinion  of  its  counsel  the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such  indemnification  by  it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and  will  be  governed  by  the  final  adjudication  of  such  issue.

The  undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that:

     (1)  For  purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the  information  omitted  from  the  form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration  Statement  in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus  filed  by  the  Registrant  pursuant  to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or
497(h)  under  the  Securities  Act  shall  be  deemed  to  be  part  of  this
Registration  Statement  as  of  the  time  it  was  declared  effective.

     (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of  1933,  each  post-effective  amendment  that contains a form of prospectus
shall  be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities
offered  therein,  and  the  offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed  to  be  the  initial  bona  fide  offering  thereof.

The  Board  of  Directors
Ugly  Duckling  Corporation:

We consent to the inclusion of our report dated March 18, 1997 with respect to
the  combined  balance  sheet  of  Seminole  Finance  Corporation  and Related
Companies  as  of  December  31,  1996  and the related combined statements of
operations,  stockholder's equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended
December  31, 1996, which report appears in the Post Effective Amendment No. 1
to Form S-1 of Ugly  Duckling  Corporation.

Our  report  dated  March  18,  1997,  contains  an explanatory paragraph that
states:    "the  accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared
assuming  that  the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in
Note  7  to  the  combined  financial statements, the Company is involved in a
lawsuit  that  involves  a  material  amount of damages that, if there were an
adverse  outcome,  raise  substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.  Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described
in  Note  7.  The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments
that  might  result  from  the  outcome  of  this  uncertainty."
