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

[jaywood]

Well I ended up picking up a 2002 330i with 78k miles :) Love it

740il....

Roth IRA or a some decent stocks.

Me I'd just get a cheap 2K beater and drive it. No need for expensive car in my garage. I would not mind maybe an E46 330i manual.

For real.

Because the TSX is just like vanilla. BORING.

Vanilla is the best flavour though.

Acura RSX, why the hell not?

Bump for more.. so far we've got multiple e46 330i's, a g37s, 2002's, s2000's, etc.

E46 non m is less than 10k (5k-8k)

325i 2002-2006 is the most reliable and unlikely to have subframe related chassis failure.

E46 330 is pretty cheap nowadays; nobody really pays more for a 330 over a 325 unless it's a "ZHP"; Those are fetching 12k+

Best perfprmance e46 for the money will be a 5 speed face lift 2002+ 330i.

Around 2005/6 all e46 non-m changed to 6 speed (and smg was also an option)

S2000 is a money pit unless a really good example is obtained.

G37s won't happen under 10k.

Buy an E30 for $500, dump $9500 into it.

Already bought my $500 e30 - headed down that path as we speak. lol

Why a picture of vanilla beans? Tahitian no less.

Haha the Yaris slogan.

"Yaris, it's a car!"

[DEV0 E30]

civics have got to be the most overpriced used cars you can buy.

you know, you can buy a BRAND NEW Hyundai or Kia for $10k or less. Some of them actually are pretty cool.

Nando meant nearly new I assume, not directly from the dealer's new lot.

Most *BRAND NEW* cars compare closely to each other as far as price goes.

Didn't realize there was something smaller than a Sonic.

Scion:

IQ / XB / ETC ETC - Used you can find plenty of XB's under 10k. Many salvaged or beat to shit.

Or a new Hyundai with a 10 year warantee.

I could have sworn Hyundai had a 12 year warranty, at least that's what my parents have. I guess they changed it:
