Car for under 10000?
 
My old 95 neon is starting to die out on me and the repairs done on it have already outvalued car.

So I'm looking for a brainstorm of cars I can consider, for under 10000, that is relatively modern and fun to drive :woot2:

So far:
-mazda 3
-older bmw 3 series
-older acura tsx / tl
-2007 jetta
-2003 g35

Thoughts?

edit: a nice interior is something I'm really interested in

2004 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro ;)

Older TSX or TL

for a 10g budget... you'll probably want something reliable and cheap to run.
mazda 3 is probably your best choice.
not sure about the others...

1992 Mazda RX7

perfect reliable daily driver and superb on gas.

me too. my old integra has a major leak on passenger side cowl and the blower motor is right under there. I replaced the old one because it stopped working due to the leak but the leak is still there and hopefully will last me a few more months otherwise it'll suck to drive with no blower motor. Doubt it though because just today there was a puddle of water on passenger carpet =/

How much older TL/TSX? You are going to have a hard time finding one in good condition for under 10k. Not worth it imo and just stick with the Mazda3.

And agree with bonestock. I'd try to score a late generation Civic, probably 06/07, should be able to find one in good shape, all the basic options and decent mileage for 10k

pawdregry4g 09-18-2011 01:52 AM

Was hoping for a tsx somewhere between 2003-2006. Was never a fan of the civic unfortunately, the styling never struck me.

The audi seems interesting though, would maintenance on that kill me in the long term?

Have you considered an 04/05 EL?

Better gas mileage, lower insurance, a decent interior and exterior, well within your budget, maintenance will be very reasonable.

G35? for under 10? high kms navy blue sedan maybe....

PJ 09-18-2011 09:25 AM

Hard to find a Tsx/TL in good condition/clean title for that price.
G35 you'll probably be looking at an 03 sedan.. High kms or rebuild..

In that price range I'd stay away from the luxury Germans..

Personally if that were me, I'd go for an rsx, Mazda 3, or finance a new car.
Or keep creeping rs marketplace :troll:

7th gen Accord (2003-2007)?

XplicitLuder 09-18-2011 10:26 AM

Accord ? Prelude ? Those are fun and reliable cars that you can fine in good shape for just around 10g's. And easy to mod if that's what you're into too.

FN-2199 09-18-2011 10:31 AM

Take a look at some 2.5RS Subaru's. The GC is damn good AWD fun for under 10k.

spoon.ek9 09-18-2011 11:19 AM

heh get a 99-00 Civic SIR (~$5000-$7000) with extra money for mods! :D

good engine, all power options, sun roof and ultra aftermarket support. that's what i'd do with a $10,000 budget :concentrate:
