Good car between $10,000 and $20,000

[Mayfriday0529]

What's a good car model that cost between $10,000-20,000. 2005 to 2006 models.

I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra right now that i'm thinking of getting rid off and getting the newer model or something else.

Why do you need a new car? there should be nothing wrong with a 2002 car. If your budged it 10-15k for a new car, you clearly can't afford new unless you want a kia or a hundai :laugh:.

2002 is got 90k on it, transmission is funky, i'm spending more on repairs as time goes.
I got it used never been happy with its performance.

They're Toyota's - which means they're built very well for a very good cost. Too bad the only models right now are both hidious in their own way, namely the xB

Small, sporty, suv, etc...???


Malibu, G6, Hummer 1, etc...?????

Now you do I should mention, I forgot about the xA. So when I said "both" I was wrong, they have 3 models right now.

Back to the OP question.

I think you should get the New Civic Si. With your new price range, you can get into one of these for a little over $20k. But you will probably have to wait a while to get one, the waiting list is a mile long here in Denver.

I have a Sentra right now and I would not mind getting the same car, its kinda small for me though. My current Sentra has a Spoiler so thats cool.. I want something reliable...
At home we also have a 2005 Nissan Altima, nice car, big! I get one but two same model cars at home... I don't like that.

 

[gsellis]

2003/4 Acura TL. But, maybe you want a Civic new at that price (Si is more though).

I would Love a Acura TL or TSX but way out of my price range.

 

[Horus]

Mazda3S/Protege5...reliable, quick, extremely good handling cars.

 

[Aztech]

Nobody said Mazda3 yet? I thought that was THE favorite around here.

Or maybe:
New Corolla, Civic

Or small Utes:
Mazda Tribute, Ford Escape, The new RAV4, etc...

Used:
Accord, Altima

 

[randomlinh]

mazda3 ftw!

*edit* damn it aztech... i was too slow

 

[GeneValgene]

honda accord FTW!

Try Autotrader and Carmax. There are some in that range out there that are not trashed.

 

[Phlargo]

I'm gonna have to go with Mazda3 or Scion tC for that price range. CivicSi will definitely fall above that range, once you factor in options and tax (probably more like 23k). Maybe consider a Golf too.. the new one is real cute
