These cars are all really good, but it’s kinda rare to find one that hasn’t been clapped out by a teenager 😂😂

Good luck finding those car with decent miles for 5k lol, those cars now are going like 8- 10k

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.

love watching all your videos guys keep up the good work

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.

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

E39 is good option too, where i live usually better deals found than e46, better engine, better equipment for same money as e46

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

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.

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.

I REQUIRE A STANDARD (STICK) FOR MY FIRST CAR i kinda want the gti golf or the bmw or the TL but idk ill tell you what i get when i get it Ps the tl is my top pick

Subaru Legacy B4 RSK or GTB $3000-5000 and you have a 280hp comfy car with a twin turbo, mine is making 340hp and is so fun to drive in the mountain.

[Bawlstacheo]

As a 2007 Acura TL owner who just drives from A to B, it breaks my heart that I will eventually have to retire it but I really dont know what car I want. If I could purchase the Sport version i so would but what would you reccomend that is similar to the TL. mines has 190, 000+ miles

[BillC]

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...

[alansoler]

I'm glad you guys keep putting out these types of videos I have to buy my son a 1st car soon

[DaTmaTOX]

I just got a golf mk2 1989 and its such a cutie

[JeepsDemise]

best youtube channel on youtube, watching ideal while doing school.

[afrodeezy]

I was hoping hear him talk about the chrysler 300c 340hp v8 automation or manual and for a few thousand more you can pick up a nice srt8 model

[guuseyt]

whats the website that you use to check cars out?

as for my county, a toyota chaser/mark 2 is a good variant for under 5k
