I have ask this question before, but every time people just give me suggestions that are over my $15k budget (some of them WAY over my budget) or are simply cars that are not luxury, nor sport cars.
I am looking for a car that is
A used luxury or a sport cars
For $15,000 or less
with around 35k miles.
That makes at least 22 mpg combined
Pick ups and anything that uses diesel is not a luxury car.
I would be really grateful if you add a ebay link or if you see anything in my local market (Miami).
Bill, it is quite more common to find low mile sport and luxury cars than you may think. Sometimes the owners do not used them as their main mode of transportation, or they just don't drive a lot. My current car is from 2004 and it has barely 60k miles. Actually I have found a few cars in my budget and miles (mostly Audi A4, Acura TSX, late 90s early 2000s Porsche Boxster (doesn't meet my MPG criteria, but I have seen a lot with that kind of millage) just to name a few.
Brent, I ask because after doing my own research, I might find that others people opinion may be valuable or they may find something I overlooked. Yes, those are entry level luxury cars, but are luxury cars. I don´t need to go over 150 mph to commute to work. I want a car that is comfortable and with amenities and if I can´t find that, a car that is at least fun to drive. The Audi A4 is not related with the VW Passat other than sharing the engine, and the Acura TSX is not related at all to the Civic, other than being build by Honda (it is the international Accord, as the TL is also based on the Accord and like a lot of luxury cars are based on other midsize cars). If I wanted just a fast car, I could get a Mustang GT like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GT-Premium-Coupe-4-6L-Fuel-economy-EPA-highway-mpg-23-and-EPA-city-m-/130863557190?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1e78136a46=
Answer
$15K is a little low for a used luxury car with 35k miles. The average vehicle is driven 12-15k miles per year and based on that you would be looking for a 2-3 year old luxury vehicle. Most anything in the luxury category would sell for a minimum of $40k new and few, if any, would depreciate $25k over a 2-3 yr period. Good Luck

What's a quick, fun, sports car I could buy or pay off below 30k or 25k?
Cesare
I'm looking for a quick car. I had the wrx in mind, and also the 135i. I'm looking for a fun car. I do plan on heading to the track here and there. I also plan on modifications. Reliability is also a good factor.
Throw out cars and why. I'd really appreciate it.
I've also considered later 350z models or an S2000. Hopefully hardtop. Not a huge convertible fan.
Answer
I don't like convertibles anyways, so I wouldn't suggest them.
Mazda Rx7(older car but still amazing) example: http://autos.yahoo.com/used-cars/mazda-rx_7-cars01-4043668016364214054;_ylt=ArHjB78Jk0M4nZV9k6CUjLjiB19H;_ylv=3
Impreza (STI if possible)
Mitsubishi Evo(you can get the Evo XIII or IX for under 20k or an Evo X for around 30k)
Late 90's Mazda Miata with a small block V8 swapped in.
Nissan Z cars are always good, too.
