Arrow Your vehicle choice for under $20k

I'm looking to hear some of your ideas here for vehicles under $20k. New or used, but if it's used it needs to be in great condition, and only a few years old, I'd say an '02 or up. If I had my way, I'd pick up an '03-04 Cobra, but they are in the 24-28k range, which I can afford, but I think that's a little down the road. I'm open to domestic or import suggestions..


I just want something nice and fun to drive. Here is the time to sell me on your favorite car under 20k, and please include the ballpark of what they are going for in good shape.

Cool Re: Your vehicle choice for under $20k

FWD?
RWD?
AWD?
Import?
Domestic?

Me personaly, i would hit up the personals here for a well built hatch or 240. Other than that, SRT-4 or Z28/SS/WS6.

Honestly, it doesn't matter..If I wanted an extremely fast car I'd build one...I do want a coupe though.

I just want a daily driver that looks and drives great. A BMW comes to mind honestly, and don't anyone else suggest a 240, or any other swapped cars or I'll beat you.

I don't think I can afford a newer M3, although I'd love to have one. Just looked it up, kbb on an '01 with 74k in excellent condition is 22k. I don't know if there is any markup on them at all though like there is with some other cars. I'm sure blah could shed some light.
