Fast car, Under $10,000

[vincentAMG]

I'm searching for my first car. Has to be under $10k, used, under 90k miles. I want something relatively fast. I like sedans, but not limited to them. Could anyone give me a list of (5+)cars in this price range? It would be really helpful. I need a car in about a month.. So I need to start searching now.
Thanks,
John

it all depends what you want. there are tons of cars under 10g. you need to narrow it down, tell us what you like and dont like.

I edited my first post just a bit, I like 4 door sedans also

[MexSiR]

1)Golf GTI 150 hp 1.8 T
2)CRX Si
3)Civic Si 99
4)Neon R/T 2001
5)Mustang GT 98
6)Mustang 5.0
7)BMW 328i 1995

Those cars arent fast or anything...they wont brake the 15s mark, but you can call them Quick

The newer 5.0 mustangs were high 14 second cars, but for about a grand you could be in the high 12's.

For sedans, my top recommendation would be a 92-95 BMW 325i. Or if you want something a bit newer, the 95-99 Nissan Maxima SE. For any type of car (not just sedans), my top recommendation would be the 93-97 Chevy Camaro Z28/Pontiac Trans Am.

yeah, that's my type of style kman. I have one question. Most BMW 325i or Maxima se's for sale around my area are over 100k miles. How long do you think it would run before it would need repairs/breakdown? I know it's a vague question, but I dont know much about lifetimes.

[kman10587]

Not sure about the Maxima, but I've heard they're pretty reliable. My mom had a 1990 Maxima SE and we kept it until 120,000 miles, not one problem. The BMW, if properly cared for, will last 250,000+ miles easily (I've seen it in person more than once).

Sebring LXi

I wouldn't exactly call my Sebring LXi quick. I sure looks fast, but then again I'm used to a turbo. Hell, if anyone wants one I would be willing to sell mine. It is a 98, has 69,000 miles on it, and it is in very good condition.

I found another LeBaron GTC for sale and I want to buy it, but I can't if I have the Sebring. Still not what I'd call a quick car though.
