Times are tough and new cars are not cheap, so that�s why millions of people have turned to buying their cars used, after all your car loses nearly 20% of its value when you drive it off the lot. When buying used you can buy a car and resell it at nearly the same price you bought it for.
But some people want a car that�s going to give them a kick in the pants, not make them fall asleep, so here are the Top 5 fastest used cars under 10k.
5. 1998-2006 VW GTI
The classic golf GTI came in a few engine options, a 4 cylinder 175hp, and a 200hp V6, both are very fun cars to drive, but where these cars lack in power they gain in awesome handing, and unsurpassed driving fun. If you're looking for a car that has the most smiles per miles, this is the car to get. And with cheap maintenance and easy to fix engine what�s not to love?
Pros- Cheep insurance, cheaper maintenance, fun car to drive and own
Cons- Hipster looks, 4 banger is underpowered in today�s standards
4. Z32 Nissan 300ZX
??
This twin turbo powered 300ZX was a beast, making just about 300hp in 1990, which by today standards is still very impressive. Often called the �the poor man�s Porsche" and for a good reason to, this car launched from 0-60 in less than 5.5 seconds! (That�s the same 0-60 the 2013 Boxster has) with great handling that you can throw into any corner that any speed, and a shape that has aged well, makes this a fantastic car to buy.
Pros- Crazy fast, crazy fun, crazy cheep
Cons- insurance for a 17 year old kid would be outrages
This has to be the best looking car you can buy for fewer than 10k or 20k for that matter, the style was way ahead of its time and competed with cars that costs nearly twice the price. it carries a twin turbo that ranges from 255hp to 300hp depending on the model you buy. but the best thing about these cars is that the turbo in the car are so easy to modify that some on the road today can push anything from 400hp to almost 700hp. the only problem with the car is that they are a hard bunch to find, with an already low number of them sold in the United States, they are not easy to find, but they have the largest reward factor.
Pros- Just look at it!!!
Cons- Very hard to find, some people reported problems burning oil?
2. Porsche 944 Tubro
??The Porsche 944 is most likely the best handling car on this list; it was after all named the best handling car of the year in 1989. it rockets from 0-60 in just 5.8 seconds, but that�s not what this car is famous for, its famous for its legendary handling, it�s so good in fact that this is the car of choice for track days around the world, with so many of these cars on the market pushing 300-350hp it�s not hard to see why around the world this is the car of choice for track day drivers, but when you have to drive it home at the end of the day you're in a beautiful leather wrapped cabin, see after all it is a Porsche.
Pros- Great exterior, beautiful interior, rich person look
Cons- ride is rough, and Turbo lag
1. BMW 850csi
The best car you can buy right now, for the money is the BMW 850csi. It�s by far the most powerful one of the bunch supporting a monster, autobahn worthy V12 engine, launching it from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, that�s the same as the 300Z, but this car accelerates when you want it to, passing time for this car is a mere 2 seconds! And this car sounds like a genuine German super car. But at the end of the day, you are driving what once was an $80,000 super car that competed with only the best of the best. With the fire breathing V12, downright sexy exterior, and BMW style interior, this car wins the 1# spot on my list.
Pros- bragging rights to your friends that you own a V12 super car, and of course, pop up headlights!
Cons- V12 Power, means V12 gas
