Fastest used cars under 10k

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

3. Third Generation Mazda RX7

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

Wash Car Bikini

Bikini car washes are a summer event that occurs possibly as a fund raiser for a school, a sport association or another youth organization or charity. Typically, females in bikinis bring in donors by standing on a roadside with colorful cardboard signs or posters, and the cars are washed by their classmates in a nearby parking lot. Depending on the organization responsible, as well as the local laws, a variation of the bikini car wash sometimes occurs, in which the girls will wash the car topless, usually for an extra fee. This type of car wash is not found in the US as part of any legitimate charitable or fund raising event[citation needed]. There are also commercial bikini car washes, where bikini-clad girls actually wash the cars for a fee and the entertainment of the drivers. Hooters restaurants usually have bikini car washes in the summer to attract customers.

Land Rover Range e Concept

Land Rover's on-going commitment to building vehicles that are more fuel and emissions-efficient reaches another milestone at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with the first presentation of Land Rover Range_e. This development model is equipped with an advanced plug-in hybrid diesel-electric powertrain that Land Rover expects to make available in future production models, following the scheduled launch of its diesel-electric hybrid in 2013.

Land Rover Range_e is based on the Range Rover Sport and uses the current 245PS 3.0-litre TDV6 diesel engine, working with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and a 69kW electric motor. Using a parallel hybrid system, with a 14.2kW/h lithium-ion battery that can be recharged from an external 240V power source, Land Rover Range_e can be driven on electric power alone for more than 20 miles, with zero harmful tailpipe emissions.
A full recharge from a standard domestic power supply can be accomplished in around four hours. Typically the majority of European car drivers cover less than 25 miles a day and therefore the EV range offered by this technology will support the majority of short urban journeys, where fuel economy and emissions are of prime concern. However, for longer journeys the diesel hybrid drivetrain will engage and continually optimise CO2 emissions.
Overall CO2 emissions are just 89g/km, yet Land Rover Range_e has a maximum system output of 339PS and a top speed of around 120mph, delivering a fuel economy of 85mpg. Improved fuel efficiency from the hybrid system makes 690 miles possible on a full tank of fuel
Land Rover Range_e is also engineered with the same full 4WD capability as the standard Range Rover Sport, with high and low range in the transmission, front and rear differentials and a mechanical locking centre differential. Dependant on the driver demand, the car's intelligent system decides the most efficient method to deliver the power required, whether this is by electric, diesel or both. The Range_e also features regenerative braking to capture energy usually wasted in heat energy via the brakes. This energy can then be redeployed to drive the vehicle, further reducing fossil fuel consumption.
John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director, said: "This system is the first example of a premium plug-in hybrid that also provides the full four-wheel-drive capability that you would expect from a Land Rover. It is an evolution of the production intent diesel-electric hybrid technology which will be launched in our next generation of SUVs and will be available for customers within the next two years."
Land Rover in Partnership with CABLED
The Land Rover Range_e is one of a number of Land Rover projects supported by the UK Government's Technology Strategy Board and five prototype models are currently engaged in a test programme with Land Rover's fellow members of the CABLED - Coventry and Birmingham Low Emissions Demonstrators - consortium. Land Rover anticipates its plug-in hybrid system will be brought to market in the near future, following on from the debut of its first standard diesel-electric hybrid models from 2013.
Pete Richings, Chief Engineer Hybrids, said: "We started the Range_e fleet trial in December 2010 and we have so far covered 12,000 miles on the trial between the five test vehicles. We are gathering invaluable real world data that will enable us to refine the technology ahead of introducing a production vehicle."
Land Rover continues to recognise the need to work on all aspects of our CO2 footprint such as reducing weight, reducing mechanical losses and increasing powertrain efficiency and our hybrid technology represents one part of the research and development journey.
Jaguar Land Rover is committed to spending �800 million on environmental technologies and has targeted a 25 per cent reduction in its fleet average CO2 emissions between 2008 and 2012.

BMW 503 Coupe

The BMW 503 is a two door 2+2 seater sports car unveiled by BMW at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show. Production got under way during the summer of 1956, and by 1959, when the BMW 503 was withdrawn, 413 had been built, including 139 cabriolets.
Design

The car was styled by the entrepreneurial auto-designer, Albrecht von Goertz, based on preliminary drafts prepared by Kurt Bredschneider. It was originally intended to feature a flamboyant shape incorporating rounded mudguards which would have emphasized its kinship with the BMW 502 sedan, but regulations concerning matters such as light positioning rendered such a form impractical. In retrospect, the more square cornered look of the car as it emerged with fully integrated wings may have been more in tune with future styling trends than the original proposal.
Technical
The BMW 503 incorporated the 3168 cc light metal V8 engine from the 502 which in this application delivered a claimed power output of 140 brake horsepower (100 kW) and acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 13 seconds along with a top speed of about 115 miles per hour (185 km/h). The four speed manual transmission was unchanged from that used in the 502, and was originally mounted remotely from both the engine and the rear axle, as on the 502. In September 1957, the drivetrain was redesigned, with the transmission being bolted directly to the engine, as with the 507, and with the shifter being relocated from the steering column to the floor.

Land Rover Freelander 2

The 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 model range, on sale in the UK from the end of September 2010, benefits from a new 2.2-litre diesel engine available with either 150PS or 190PS outputs, a new look exterior plus interior alterations including new instrument dials and a new Premium Pack option.
Land Rover's new turbo diesel engine is available in the 4WD TD4 150PS model featuring a manual transmission and intelligent Stop/Start technology as standard (an automatic gearbox without Stop/Start is available as a cost option), or the new SD4 model delivering 190PS (available in automatic transmission only).

This new engine is quieter, more efficient and both derivatives have 20Nm more torque than the outgoing engine. This means the 2011 Freelander 2 offers improved engine response and more mid-range strength for towing. CO2 emissions have been significantly reduced to 165g/km and 185g/km respectively with corresponding fuel economy benefits.
However, despite reductions in consumption and emissions, there has been no compromise in performance. The flagship 190PS Land Rover Freelander SD4 accelerates from rest to 60mph in 8.7 seconds with an increased top speed of 118mph. The Land Rover Freelander 150PS TD4 manual and automatic versions match the performance of their predecessors.
As well as being upgraded from EU4 to EU5, both versions have a new variable geometry turbocharger and have been extensively re-calibrated to deliver new levels of power, meet emissions regulations and reduce CO2 emissions. They are fitted with a catalysed diesel particulate filter as standard and are now compatible with 10 per cent biodiesel rather than 5 per cent.

As an addition to the Land Rover Freelander 2 range, Land Rover will also offer customers a 2WD derivative, available in the UK from January 2011. This will be called the Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 and it will be the most efficient Land Rover ever produced, with fuel consumption of 47.2mpg combined, and CO2 emissions of just 158g/km.
"The new Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 moves Land Rover into the hugely popular and fiercely contested two wheel-drive SUV market," said Land Rover managing director Phil Popham. "The European market for two-wheel drive SUVs represents 23 percent of the segment and we intend to compete strongly here.
"A 2WD option is just one way in which we are developing our vehicles' efficiency whilst adding to the Land Rover range and expanding our appeal to a broader group of customers. We will continue to make the 'world's finest all-terrain vehicles' for those customers who require 4WD but will also now offer an alternative."
This groundbreaking Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 is powered by the new 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, delivering 150PS. It is only available with a six-speed manual transmission featuring Stop/Start technology as standard.
The exterior of the latest Land Rover Freelander 2 gets a new look for 2011. Marked out by a new front bumper assembly incorporating new front fog lap bezels, a new front grille finish, improved headlights and tail lamps, new full width tailgate appliqu� and new 18- or 19-inch alloy wheel styles. There are three new colour schemes for 2011 Kosrae Green, Baltic Blue and Fuji White.
Inside the cabin, Land Rover's design team have revised the instrument dials, and there are four new seat styles with the option of a Premium Pack that includes Windsor Leather upholstery, an 8/6 way electric seat, plus premium carpet mats and covered centre stowage.

Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured

Why do people buy SUVs? Some do it for the cargo and passenger capacities. Some buy 'em because they like to sit high. But some buy sport-utes because, even though the most off-road action they'll ever see is a muddy parking lot, they want to know they can handle anything that comes along. But what if rough terrain or heavy snowfall isn't your biggest concern? What if you're more worried about being attacked by armed assailants? Well then... you're either living in a pretty nasty neighborhood, you're pretty damn important or you're just plain paranoid. In any event, this is the vehicle you'll need: the new Land Rover Discovery 4 Armoured.

Developed with the security consultants at Centigon, the secure LR4 can withstand machine gun fire, 33 pounds of dynamite or even a couple of hand grenades tossed underneath. Unfortunately the added steel plating necessary to withstand such a barrage adds considerable heft to an already hefty vehicle, pushing the curb weight up to over 7,800 pounds.
