9 Best Cars You Can Buy For Under $5,000

In our next round of Throttle Stay In The House, we answered the question "what's the most amount of car you can get for $5,000 USD?" This led to a rollercoaster of research by James and Thomas and resulted in an eclectic mix of enthusiast cars great and small.

you gotta buy a clapped out high mileage salvage title g37 under 5 grand lmao

[craycho]

What best means in a normal person's head:
- Reliable
- Economical
- Looks good preferably

What best means in Throttle House's head:
- HORSEPOWEEEER, CAR GO WROOOM FOR CHEAP

[erikllanos]

There are no G37's that go for less than $5K unless it has a slavage title with very high mileage. decent ones go for $9k-$15K.

Let's agree that we CAR GUYS LOVE DEPRECIATION
Edit: 600 people agrees to my opinion 😳

Never thought one of my review clips would be the opening for a Throttle House video! Feeling proud haha cheers for asking to use the footage love your work boys!

[NoodleDukeMoto]

Love seeing y’all work with my other favorite channel Everyday Driver. The quality of both channels’ production, editing, and dialogue is top notch.

G37 Owner here*

Probably the most reliable car on the list. They have issues at 100K miles, but it's usually just maintaince related, bushings, brakes, springs ect.

Catalytic Converters tend to go at 80K, but that's the only notable defect I've come across.

It's basically a 370Z, but nicer and for usually at least 5K cheaper than a 370Z.

Would recommend

CARS FOR UNDER 5K!

Me: ;) with 5 dollar’s

[derekchisholm]

Thanks for the great content, Thomas and Pastor James!

Everyday Driver and Throttle house in the same video! Love it. You guys should get together and do a video series of some sort. My two favorite channels.

[eshea]

This is the best budget buy list I've ever watched. Each car on this list has a lower mileage, 2 year newer, prime condition model worth double out there somewhere. I love this list.

[doucheymcfloppycock]

As a honorable mention, i'd include the 99-04 new edge mustang GT's. They are just as reliable as the crown vic due to sharing the same motor and and sound amazing with aftermarket exhaust. I got a good optioned car with leather seats and the premium audio for just 3, 000 bucks and the AC and heat still works even.

[quincylongman]

God this channel has gotten SO GOOD i remember when it first started up, i knew it had this kind of potential. Always interesting and entertaining. Hope you can taste colours soon

[ChoPi-Eww]

Lol, those MR2 clips made me remember the time I spun my brother's MR2 turbo on an on ramp. No damage, luckily. He spun it on a county road, $8k of damage.

[michaelfilippi]

I own a 2007 ford mustang v8 and love that car. Got a race clutch, duel race exhuasts, cold air intake, and demon coils. In total I spent 8k on it (including the vehicle itself). I bought it for 5k and had hail damage that I also kind of fixed.

[mmaclemon]

I love Throttle House. I Love Everyday Driver. Holy moly! I love this video. Thanks guys for hooking up with Todd and Paul. Awesome to see!
