Default What car would you get under $10,000?

Im parting with the love of my life due to personal circumstances. I'm gonna be in the market for something around $8000-10000. I'm leaning towards 00'ish Accord Honda Coupe. Prolly gonna stick to Japaneses car since they are still more reliable than domestics.

MR2-Turbo, E36 M3, Prelude, 240sx, there are a lot out there that you can affordibly get under 10k. reliability, although, might not necessarily be present in a lot of them.. craigslist is your friend.

2000 Celica GT-S if you relatively new and stock car


Old Turbo or supercharged Miata if you want more of a fun ride and don't mind a 10+ year old car



The E36 M3 would obviously be the best but trust me you won't find one in good shape under 10 000$ and they are very expensive to fix!

MR2 turbo is also a good choice if you can find one that's in good shape for 10 000$ which won't be easy.

finding a mk2 mr2 under 10k is easy. the max you should pay for an unmolested turbo mr2 should be around 6-7k.

i dont think hes looking for performance/fun car, hes probably just looking for a reliable daily driver that get him from point a to point b comfortably, hence the accord coupe

While I love Conquest TSi's and Starions, he did say reliable. And you can get a LOT newer prelude's than a 93 for that $.

OP: What do you want out of the car? What are the requirements for the car other than the price and reliability?


Quick Reply: What car would you get under $10,000?
