These cars are all really good, but it’s kinda rare to find one that hasn’t been clapped out by a teenager 😂😂
Bought my GTI with 190k miles. Currently at 210k. Everything that’s gone wrong, which isn’t too much, is stuff I’m surprised has held up to 200k miles.
Good luck finding those car with decent miles for 5k lol, those cars now are going like 8- 10k
I'd go for an NC instead of the NA Miata. Adequate power (116hp in the original NA is underpowered, IMO), it's safer, and it's actually possible to use as a daily car because of the power hardtop.
impossible to actually find for these prices
E39 is good option too, where i live usually better deals found than e46, better engine, better equipment for same money as e46
The fact that a Mitsubishi 3000gt wasn’t on the list blows my mind
all these cars are fire but to get most of them cheap they’re re gonna have a buncha cheap mods and be totally neglected
best youtube channel on youtube, watching ideal while doing school.
As a guy from far east Russia, I am ought to recommend some Japanese gems If you want to get something like a BMW 3 series, consider Lexus IS200/IS300 or Toyota Altezza. BMW driving experience + Toyota bulletproof reliability Even If you get one with 1g fe, it's still pretty brisk from the factory, but you can always get a turbo kit and run 300hp on stock internals
Buick LaCrosse! Easily found for $2k or LESS in phenomenal shape and low mileage, 05-07 ECU can easily be tuned, MASSIVE AFTERMARKET SUPPORT FOR THE PLATFORM and the same V6 as in the CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS and not to mention BUICK LUXURY OF A CAR WHOS MSRP WAS $25k back in 2005! Only reason for depreciation is no-one knows about them
I have a 1.8T with over 220K miles on it! That engine is dead reliable... If you maintain it. Mine also puts out 300whp and 25+ psi of boost on E85 and methanol injection. And was beat up pretty bad...
E82 or E9x 128/328i should be on this list . No turbo problems relatively cheap/reliable for a bmw
First car is over $5000
That was my first car @ 18… VW golf gti vr6 mk3!! Loved that car! 17 years and 9 cars later I now have an 02 wrx.
In Europe the GTI is the one you wanna get 👌
Any love for the F56 MINI Cooper S? It shares the BMW B48 engine that with a few mods can achieve over 200+ hp. And with a good tune like Derv tech you can shoot flames in sport mode.
The 07-08 TL had the trans swapped from the RL and lasted much longer than the 04-06 auto trans. Only way u could get a manual 07-08 tho is thru the type s, which goes for over 10k for a clean one
I liked this video guys, i got an mk5 as a first car it's been a headache but when it works ota fantastic, i really want a 330ci
