Well you have your budget, so the best thing to look for is what you can get for that money. Shop around, use autotrader or comparable classified adds.
The less toys a car has the less stuff that can go wrong with it.
a cars value is directly proportional to amount of luxury and lifespan left. A 5,000 luxury car will not last as long before needing major repairs as a very modest basic car with the same asking price.
know what you want. try to find one with the least amount of miles.
if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

what is a fast car for under 5k?
Eric
I am looking for a car that is under 5k that is a 1995 or newer. I'm looking for a car that has good speed stock, but can also be easily upgraded to make it faster. I don't really want anything like a civic or integra, but something still reliable. Let me know! Thanks.
Answer
* Audi UrS4 (92-~95) turbo awd 5cyl w/ 227hp
* 1991 Audi 200 20-valve turbo 217hp (awd 5cyl)
* mid 90s BMW 540i 282hp V8
* mid 90s Acura Legend with Series-II 3.2L and 6spd manual - not too moddable
* 97+ Buick Regal GS model (240hp/280tq from 3.8L supercharged V6)
* 95+ Nissan Maxima with 5-speed manual (Award winning 190hp VQ-series V6) moddable
* Buick Roadmaster with the LT1 V8 (heavy but surprising with 260hp and around 330tq) moddable
* 93+ Camaro Z28 with LT1 -- very moddable obviously, but insurance $$, decent mpg w/ T56 6spd
* mid 90s Caprice 9c1 package (police) with 260hp Lt1 -- moddable, but ~odd cop car look
* Fox body 5.0 Mustang. ~85-93 years 205-225hp very moddable of course, insurance $$
* 89-95 Taurus SHO, 5spd preferable, older SHOs were quickest 0-60 ~6.5 seconds
* Mazda RX7 turbo, pre-93 RX7 turbo w/ 200hp turbo rotary
* Mercedes 420E (heavier luxury sedan, but quick and rock solid)
* Oldsmobile 88 LSS with the L67 supercharged V6 (240hp/280tq) sleeper luxo sedan
* Dodge Spirit R/T model only, rare but has 227hp from Lotus-designed 2.2L DOHC turbo 4.
* Dodge Daytona R/T w/ same engine has Spirit R/T -- both fast cars, Spirit is more sleeperish
* Toyota Supra MK3 turbo - 232hp 5spd, very moddable but heavy car
* Toyota Celica All Trac with 2.0 turbo 190-200hp, AWD and moddable.
* 1990+ Toyota MR2 Turbo, same engine has Celica All Trac but MR setup and LSD differential.
* 1990-era Saab 900 SPG, not too quick, but moddable (notorious transmission problems though)
* Saab 9000 with 2.3 Turbo engine, ideally the Aero model with highest horsepower, 5spd.
* Volvo 850 T5, 222+hp, very moddable but all automatics
* Volvo V70, updated 850, but offers a 5spd manual in turbo models. Not sure if you can find for under $5000 though, but check.
* Volkswagen Corrado VR6, awesome handling (rivals Prelude vtec for handling)
* ~1991 Isuzu Impulse RS model only, AWD with 160hp turbo 4, Lotus designed suspension, very rare car.
Just a few of the many cars out there that can be fast as hell with little mods here n there. If you want a fast stock luxury car for cheap, look into the Cadillac Eldorado ECT or Seville STS model because they have the 300hp version of the 4.6 Northstar engine and do 0-60 in well under 7 seconds. Also the Porsche 944 turbo could be a great car for you, but it may be hard to find one under 5k in decent condition (worth the search though) and are known to be one of the best handling Porsches ever made.
