$10k budget on a car - what do you buy?

[jaywood]

Title.

I'd probably go with an s2000.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Super clean turbo e30

[Jorgen]

Probably something convertible with a rear seat for my daughter to ride in. Probably something older that won't lose value since it would be just a weekend rider 1-2k miles a year type car. Maybe Falcon convertible, can't get into classic mustang for 10k.

[Andy.B]

White mtech II vert with red interior. Preferably m5x/s5x swapped.

Non e30?
- Jaguar XJS convertible
- 2nd gen Acura Integra GSR (the cleanest/most original one I could find)
- Datsun 240z (the best one I could buy for 10k)

[Northern]

GC8sti type R

Or

Legacy gtb wagon plus 5k of hookers&blow.

[Rev Run D]

e34 M5

[shameson]

If euro: 190e 2.3-16 Cosworth. Most fall about 10k

Non euro: I'd also say s2000. Something about those I really like

[Deltron Dirty30]

fiero with a bodykit

[ST1G]

e36 M3. or s2k.

[ajhostetter]

+1, E36 M3. S2K is cool, but lacks the soul of the bimmer

[phreshkid]

Grab a nice roundie 2002. If you need to sell your car in a year, you'll profit. Those things are going up in value rather quickly.

[matthugie]

I'm on the e36 M3 or s2k bandwagon. Had an e36 and loved it (and still have a ton of parts), and the s2k is a great car.

400 dildoes? you can ride a different one to work every day for years.

;D This is what I would do.

[Roysneon]

e36 M3 if it's really nice, E46 330 sedan if there were no nice M3's.
