I also recommend a used Mazda 6 or Speed 6 for $10-12k.

 

A dodge Charger with the police package would be a nice find, specially one with low millage. Those things fly!!!!!!!!

 

Bmw m3

 

Under 15K... Show me, because I highly doubt it. Unless it's the older models which are really ugly or it has extremely high miles.

 

I wouldn't recommend getting anything that requires the mechanics to charge you 2x the amount because of the non-domestic parts.

 

It's not too far-fetched to find a decent one for 15K but it's definitely going to be high mileage which means more problems sooner, and the maintenance costs are through the roof as it is.

 

I agree with solaraslayer. I was looking at mazdaspeed6's a little while ago and I found a bunch of speed6's for under 15 grand. They have 4 doors, 274hp turbo 4, 6 speed manual, AWD. They run low 14s to high 13s stock. Plus mazdas are SOOO nice to drive. Not trying to keep you from buying a monte but I thought I would throw that out there.

 

my eyes are peeled for an SS monte I thing.. I want an 05-07. Something about having a fast v6.. But on the same hand that 5.3 would be nice too. I guess it all depends on what I find first.. It will have to be hear locally (within 250 miles) cuz ive been burnt on the whole driving to iowa thing only to find that the guy was either really good at photoshop or my eyes were playing tricks with me..

 

i Owen a 2006 gto with 26k miles on it and i got it for 13k it has 400hp and i can get 350 miles per tank i think that would be ideal for you

 

Something tells me this person, since Nov. 2009, has since found his car. hahaha.
