What year to look for among other things

The truck will be paid for soon.

I'm looking to hop up a used 4 door. I'm looking for a car for around 12,000.

What should I look for?
year
model
etc
etc

Thanks

do you want a grand am?????

Anything that is fast and has 4 doors and is comfortable to drive.
Should I be looking at a prix? I just started my research.
