But what's the alternative? It's not like people are keeping some secret reservoir of cheap cars for members of the secret cheap car club to occasionally buy from. I've been driving Monteros since the beginning of the 90s and they were always considered trash trucks by everyone until very recently, then they disappeared from the wrecking yards magically over about a 2-3 year period as all the ones owned by careless people finally quit working and all the rest are owned by responsible owners who take care of them and the price of a used one is pretty high these days. Same thing for the cars on this list... putting them in the hands of people who are willing to spend some money might save a few from the scrapyard for another few years.

You're not getting V6 coupes from those years for under $10k. I just checked CarGurus, and there is not a single one under $10k within 200 miles of Orlando. Most are $15k to $18k. There's a 2016 listed at $22k. I actually love these cars, I used to own a V6 manual coupe. Amazing cars. But under $10k is wildly unrealistic. Thats the price range for 4 cylinder coupes.
@BigDunker345 4 дні тому
Yea I don't know if they can really found for under 10k. Yes there are some out there but those are all stupidly high miles, ragged on or salvaged. I'm seeing about $15k for one with 100k miles seems to be to the going rate. I see a few nationwide that are around $12k but have 140k plus miles. I'm sure rug you out in apt of work you could eventually find one near 10k and closer to 100k miles but that would not be the norm

Just a little correction on the Cedric/Gloria's... You can get most engine and transmission parts in the US if your willing to be smart and cross reference part numbers. I have a 93 Gloria (same car as the Cedrid) and have rebuilt my transmission, did water pump, timing belt, tune up, valve cover gaskets, termostat, and the only part I have to get from japan was the intake gaskets. I've redone the suspension to lower it. (VIP build) and all those parts are US sold. Everything comes from Q45's, 240's, Maximas, or 300zx's. Great car and easy to maintain.

Most models came with the same reliable N52 engine found in the 128i; they have a reasonably comfortable and luxurious interior; and you can find many good examples for well under $10K.

I’m surprised this car didn’t make it on the list: the third-gen (2004-2008) Acura TL. The Type S is definitely pricey right now, but base models, even clean examples, hover right around $10k. And the base still comes with the J32A3, which makes 270/258 (pre/post SAE revision) horsepower, and double-wishbone front/multi-link rear suspension. Combine this with a hydraulic rack and pinion, 17x8 wheels on 235/45 tires, and you have yourself a quick, mostly-analog, exceptionally-handling daily driver. Also the 3G TL is arguably the best looking sports sedan ever created.
