March 24, 2000

To our stockholders:

On March 22, 2000,  Ugly Duckling  reported the extension of its exchange offer,
which  was  scheduled  to  expire  at 5:00  p.m.  New York  City  time.  The new
expiration  date for the exchange offer is April 13, 2000, at 5:00 p.m. New York
City time.

We extended the exchange  offer  because we had learned that the exchange  offer
materials had  inadvertently  not been mailed to a small group of  shareholders.
While the company had the exchange offer materials  mailed  immediately to those
shareholders,  the company wanted to be sure all  shareholders  had a reasonable
period  of time to  consider  the  offer.  Although  we  extended  the  offer to
accommodate  these  shareholders,  any  shareholder  may tender shares under the
exchange offer through the new expiration date.

We are also  pleased  to share with you that as of the close of  business  March
21st our exchange  agent reported that a total of 976,770 shares of common stock
were tendered to the company.  The total reported by the exchange agent includes
294,500 shares tendered by Mr. Ernest Garcia, II, our chairman,  consistent with
the company's previous announcement  regarding his level of participation.  Upon
the expiration of the exchange offer, the final total of tendered shares will be
subject to shareholder withdrawal rights, certain guaranteed delivery procedures
and Ugly Duckling's review and acceptance of all shares validly tendered.

The exchange offer enables  stockholders  to exchange up to 2.5 million of their
shares in the company for 11%,  seven year  subordinated  debentures.  Under the
terms of the offer,  each share of stock is  exchangeable  for $11.00  principal
amount of debentures.

If you  have any  questions  about  the  exchange  offer,  you may  contact  our
Information Agent, Corporate Investor Communications, Inc., at 1-201-896-1900.

Thank you for your ongoing support of Ugly Duckling.

Sincerely,

/S/ GREG SULLIVAN

Greg Sullivan,
Chief Executive Officer
and President
