I hope this is the correct section for this type of thread.
Let's determine what the best cars are in the following price ranges. Let's refer to "best" as in overall in terms of performance, reliability, and value (bang for buck). We cannot suggest project cars. These have to be cars you can buy right now that are in fully operating condition with no major, hindering problems. Let's use Craigslist, eBay, and Autotrader as the main sources. The issue with using BringATrailer is that most cars are in pristine condition on there that retain high value.
Cars Under $1,000
-Most likely any Honda, Toyota, or Volkswagen with really high mileage. (There are countless out there.)
Cars Between $1,000 and $5,000
-2002-2003 Subaru Impreza WRX (I speak from personal experience.)
-1998-2001 Audi A8 (I Speak from personal experience.)
-1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta (any engine/transmission type) (I speak from personal experience.)
-1999-2004 Volkswagen Passat (any engine/transmission type) (I speak from personal experience.)
Cars Between $5,000 and $10,000
-1999-2004 Mustang GT
-2004-2006 Mini Cooper S
Cars Between $10,000 and $15,000
Cars Between $15,000 and $20,000
Cars Between $20,000 and $25,000
Cars Between $25,000 and $30,000
Cars Between $30,000 and $35,000
Cars Between $35,000 and $40,000
We'll add more later after we fill the current categories.
