Buying The BEST Cheap Sports Car Under $10k

UPDATE - JUST BOUGHT MY DREAM CHEAP SPORTS CAR. SEE HERE - https://youtu.be/mOc8jDz7N0w Trav was no help... 😂 So what do I buy?!?

I’m a mechanic, and to be honest with you, just don’t buy a car with the cylinders going sideways. boxer engines are garbage unless you’re one of those diehard Subaru guys that replaces everything inside the engine to make it not explode. Cylinders should go up and down - just my 2 cents

2000-2004 Mustang would be really nice, or an E36 M3 would be great as well!

had a 98 mustang, and i can tell you its super easy to work on and the parts are cheap while being easy to come by

2000-2006 Silverado standard cab with the V8. LS already installed ready for turbo (s). Tons of aftermarket support and they can handle. It's different and can be a real sleeper.

for anyone wondering you can find blown frs/brz for 3-6 grand and easily ls swap for 1-2 grand totaling 8-9 still cheaper than say 15 grand for the slow boxer flat 4s that are known for being impossible to hit 400+ whp without blowing up.

I say go for the 86. It's probably got the most versatility to mod it however you want for whatever purposes that you want the car to do. Drift, check. Autocross, check. Daily, check. Drag would probably be the least applicable, but hey... rebuilt engine, forged internals and 26 lbs of boost can do any car wonders.

...04 thru 06 Pontiac GTO. LS power, manual transmission and you don't see them everyday. They're a little heavy but they haul ass, don't break and are super comfortable...

You should get a 986 Porsche Boxster

You posted this at the perfect time . I been looking into this for the last few days

An mk1 or mk2 Audi TT would also be a good pick

Bro I'm so hype you guys are going to go thru all of this. I love cars and never worked on one but if you guys are going thru every from the start maybe I'll pick up some tips.

I bought my daughter who just turned 16 a BMW 2005 325i e90 new it cost $72,000 aud now 20 years later it cost just $7500 it was owned by an old guy who has all the service history he gave it to his grandson just a few months ago and all he did was put on some sweet mag wheels with smaller front tyres that cost $250 each and the back larger ones cost $325 each they are so bloody tiny I hate these stupid tyres as you hit a pot hole and they pop. I drive a 1965 Chrysler Valiant AP6 and my tyres cost $400 for 4. My car also costs over $40,000 and goes up in value yearly. Still this BMW is just a really great car for a first car. It’s got a sun roof and it runs great. I have to get some plastic pieces around the front and back windscreens fixed as the back one has come off and I had to just put it back in place but it must be fixed so it doesn’t leak and end up rusting out some part of the car. It’s red as well and my baby loves it so much.

Love my 08'3.5SE 6MT BAE, most fun daily!❤

either M3 or Cobra

1: C5, lightweight, fast as it gets stock, usable daily, track ready 2: GTO 6.0, C5 but 4 doors, forgotten sleeper 3: Catfish: Yes stock a Coyote is superior, but 0$ left to mod and mods will run more

You can take a v6 and try to make it sounds like a flat 6 by doing some sort of "180" degrees headers and change the "firing" order

All good picks guys. I when with 2013 Audi A6 3.0T Quattro PP. So far I have stage 1 APR, full APR carbon fiber intake, Magnaflow exhaust, Software upgrades. More to come like suspension and other engine upgrades...So I can race it and take the family with me anywhere anytime everyday! Can you do that with any of your sports cars?

06-09 mustang gt 4.6L 3 Valve. I bought mine for 5k it had 140k miles and a manual transmission. 300 hp stock and they sound amazing

Guys! Kaleb here, ideal cars strategies alumni and long time supporter of you all. Brad I really think you should go for the BMW or the TOYBURU! Fans that truly love driving and building cars of their own could use a lesson or two that you will teach us along the way and those car builds will stay relevant for years and years to come. The other options might be neat. But ideal is what we want and that's the M3 or the 86.
