but spend more then $6500 , spend the 8k to get the clean title low miles one , save the extra cash and just get coils and wheels ....super cheap if you have a friend that knows how to install coils especially . 
 
10k budget is also perfect for dumping a LS swap into any RWD beater foreign & domestic.

they hold resale value cause of the previous mentions , which makes modded ones attainable for the low , give me a few moments and ill find you some MEAN is300's in miami craigslist for LESS than 10k possibly let me look

Oh I see how they hold their value, that's part of the problem. But I'm not seeing a stock one for less than 10k. And rebuilt/already modded for 6~7k isn't a good look unless you personally know where it was being modded/maintained. Even then you gotta account for the strong possibility of rust on a 13+ year old vehicle. If you wanna talk mods and all that, it's nothing but love for the IS, but as far as a good sub 10k car purchase? Nah.

A lot of these are the same as I posted in the 5k thread, but at 10k, you'll be looking at newer models with lower miles.

Repped. What year Toyota or hondas are you saying can be had for 10k or under?
 
Currently in to 10K range. 6-speed rear wheel drive. Definitely fun to drive and reliable.
 
Grab a Lexus LS , they run past 200k miles and even the early 90''s joint got some good tech/features in it ...only problem is their hard to find since nobody likes letting em go
 
give me da e36 m3 for 10k the car is not for everyone though i like sporty cars bimmers to be specific :smokin

u can easily find a healhy clean title low 100k miles for 8-9k and put the 1-2k aside just in case like you would any car

1 min of searching on CL and already found this unmolested one

You can find an 08 accord with under 100 for 6-8k

Where at?

Yeah not sure where this guy lives but I've been in the market for a 2008 generation Accord for months
And the only way you getting one for 6-8k if you want it under 100k miles is if it's salvaged or in horrible condition.

Any accord 2008 or newer with under 100k miles, that's in decent shape, is probably going to be at least 9-10k, at least.
But...that still fits in with the theme of the thread so it's still a good suggestion :smile:
