Cut-Rate Supercars You Didn't Know You Could Afford - Garage419

My best pick for the 10K to 20K range is the C32 AMG mercedes, SLK32 AMG.

They missed one BIG one and the car im planning on getting THE 2005 WRX STI!!! maybe not under the classification of super car, but 0-60 in 4.6 1/4mile in 12.4 300hp turbo charged , brembo brakes, stylish AND under $20,000!!! average mileage is 60,000 which is under average...best buy for your money can smoke most cars on the road.

you can also buy a lotus espirt for under 20k. the inline 4 turbo se model.

Best deal I've seen, I took advantage of. I bought my 2004 Cadillac CTS-V with 50K miles for 20,400 less than a year ago. Now I have a 400+ hp luxury super sedan that looks like money and does 120mph around curves, while downshifting.

i just wana say smthing about that porsche under 10 000...u say u'd prefer 944...don't know where U were lookin (e-bay?) but there are many 944 under 10 000

I just recentley found a listing for a 1999 Dodge Viper with 17,886 miles on it for $34,765. That's a category below the one that you listed the Viper in, Matt. it is a flawless example, too. I just love this economic downturn!

I've seen 07 RS4's for under 40K. Bring on the global economic downturn!

i bought an 01 a4 with 66k miles... i LOVE LOVE LOVE my car. i would ot call it a bargain. it was driven bad luckily the warranty was still on and when the engine blew it was covered. i have seriously put about 6 grand in keeping it running in just maintenance. so id have to disagree. still a great car tho.

I'd go for the Cayman S- HANDS DOWN - who cares about the stigma associated with the 986.. It is the best car for the money on the road today. Throw some snails on that engine and you'd have 500 hp (forged internals as well ofcourse)

Good show. But what about the mention of Lotus? On ebay, I'm seeing buy-it-now pricing for '05 and '06 lotus elises at 30k or less. 30k is gettin you great handling, great acceleration, and supercar looks in a newish car! I'd be all over it.

How about the 04-05 GTO? Six speeds...LS motors. 04s have 350 hp and can be had for 10-15 grand. 05s have 400 hp and can be had for under 20k. They don't handle as sharp as a C5, but they ride better and have a much nicer interior.

i think that farahs mom is a good deal.

How about an RX-8, Mazda retroactively put a 100k mile warranty on all of them, and you can pick up a used one off lease for nearly half the price of what it costs new.

Hey, great show, great topic too. I often think about this, the 200-2002 M5, 1st generation R32 are great looking options and both less than 20k now. Corvette sounds good too.

I bought a 2000 ML55 AMG two months ago. It is solid. Monster brakes, fat tires, bulletproof 5.5 liter V8 with 350hp. All for $9000. Steal of the century. It only weighs 4200 lbs. for a four wheel drive truck that is pretty light. I did 0-60 in under 5 seconds.

firstly love the nurburgring back drop, has 2 be my favorite tracks ever, ever. anyways, 2 me the best deals 2 get out there right now r on the 06-08 C6 Zo6's, 20,000- 50,000 miles between 30-48 grand, i mean how sick is that??? the new Zr1's r going for upwards of 100,000 grand and with the money u save getting a used Zo6 for that cheap u can mod 2 ur hearts content and have it handle and eat any Zr1 and pretty much anything else u'll come in contact with. best bang for ur buck if u ask me.

My first comment here, Iv'e seen all the shows and you are my favorite carshow on the net. I'm from Sweden so I may have another view on things. But most of the cars mentions in the comments are not supercars. I'll go for the corvette and BMW Ms, but a 545 is not an M-Car, it's a huge differense, and a 325 is a good car but not even close to a supercar. The S4 is somewhat close, got an S2 myself, and honestly it's a bit boring. I prefer the BMWs, rather drive a 325 E36 (former car). And yes I 0nce had a SAAB and once a Volvo, a bit old like the S2 ( no heat in the winter and drove about 500-600 miles today(45 mil in Swedish= 450 km in SI and are a bit frosen now)). The thing is, after a 30% deprication on the Swedish Crowns (kronor) most of the cars are cheaper here, except from the corvette's. Hell Ask GMor Ford and you could buy a whole company for a few bucks:). I may have some syntaxtics wrong in the language but I think you got my intention... I like the shows, only one better is maybe Top Gear, no Swedish shows.

Best sports car for cheap: 2007 or 2008 Honda Fit. Hear me out. Buy one used for $14,000, put a $3000 turbo on it, and you're gonna be beating STIs and Evos on the track. Also, the Honda Fit handles better than a Lotus Elise on the skid plate.

Hey Matt, I'm new here and I was recentley on DuPont Registry.com and saw an '06 Bentley Continental GT with custom wheels for less than $70,000. I also saw a 2005 Maserati Quattroporte for just $49,000. INSANE!

84,500.00 USD for a 2004 Gallardo 15,149 miles on Autotrader. For that price only the Corvette Z06 and Nissan GTR are comparable in performance and nothing else will turn as many heads for 80 grand.

Under 10K for a C5 Corvette is just nuts, that has to be the bargain of the decade. No matter the miles.

Toyota Mr2 Turbo? A nice one can be had for under 5 grand! Turbo, mid engine, t-tops?

No z cars? And if you want a some what rare car mitsu's 3000gt all wheel drive with a twin turbo v6, would be pretty slick. only trick is finding one in good shape.

i bought a BMW 540i msport great car upgraded suspension 4.4l V8 only puts out 290 hp but 350 ft/lbs of torque lots of room for improvement. basically a m5 without the price got mine for 15,000 with 48,000 miles on it

Everyone is forgetting the 01-03 E39 M5, the E55 AMG from 03-06, and the 03 Audi RS6. All these supercar saloons can be had for under $30K!

bargain of the century: aston martin one-77 7.3L v12 somewhere between $1.5 and $2 million.

I bought an Audi B5 S4 in Sept 08 for 22k. Reason? It had 36,XXX miles on the clock. FANTASTIC car. Well worth it. And VERY moddable.

Im surprised that you guys didnt talk about the 300zx twin turbo in the sub 10 grand section, talk about bang for the buck!

Hey Matt, those prices are nuts. My price point would be the under 20 grand. I recently bought an BMW 05 325i, under 70,000km on the engine (Im from canada) for under $18,000.
