Interesting cars under $15Kish

[mrmckie]

Saab 9-2x aero...a wrx in a suit and tie. It's a bit harder to find in a manual than a WRX wagon but cost way less that a wrx wagon a low milage like 30-60k aero could run you like 11-14k, the 06 is the unicorn cause it has the 2.5l motor. I second the Legacy GT as well.

How about one of those late model GTOs with the LSx in them? They aren't much to look at, but then again what modern car is...

This. 400HP for about 13grand.

I have a 2005 Legacy GT as my daily, it's a nice car and you should be able to pick up a good one for $10-12K. They seem to hold their value really well, I bought mine 3 years ago for 10k and think I can sell it for nearly that much today. I was originally looking for a WRX and found the legacy locally. I think I'm going to be selling it in the spring to buy an E46 M3.

my buddie's is a 05 as well

What do you mean by late model? Like the Pontiac G8 GXP? I think which had the LSxes in them. They're damn pretty too. I will do some research.

No not the 4 door things... The 2004-2006 models.

Yeah the G8 GXP is still in the 30's they only built 1800 and even fever were manuals and they were the last hoorah for Pontiac so they probably wont be 15k for a while if ever

Yeah awhile back I was looking them up for kicks thinking they may be reasonably priced by now.... nope.

I'm just here to gloat even if current valves force me to keep it in the garage.

I paid less then 15K for this, with 76,000 on the clock.

those are cool, they are kinda boring looking stock but they are stupid fast, for not a ton of cash

And apparently have sucktastic wheel wells that have a hard time fitting big rubber for all the weight/power they have.

g8s are fucking rad though. I'd take one in a heartbeat, especially over the GTOs

bastard!!! take this:

[mulletman]

If I was going to spend somewhere around 12k on a car, I'd probably end up in an S2000. A friend of mine had one for a while before I bought my E30. I seriously regret not buying that car from him when he was selling it.

Early model 2.0L screamer with the later model short-geared tranny = pure glory. That's one of few cars I'd sell my E30 for.

[DER E30]

B5 S4... AWD, German build, twin turbo 2.7L v6, 6 speed manual...
My buddy had one and it was a sick car, he knew a guy that was a stage 3, about 500whp, now that car was FAST! 2nd gear AWD burnouts, and could keep pace with 600cc bikes!

Caddy CTS-V
Same buddy is currently on the hunt for a -V because of LS2 goodness...

Sadly 3 pedal versions of either are few and far between...

I would have suggested the e46 M and e39 M but others had already
