The best cars that were under 10k before this video

Oh no they gonna inflate more cars 😂

Just bought a 2008 Buick LaCrosse with 67k miles loaded, heated seats, New tires, push button starter, everything working for 4500. Has the 3.6 V6 in it. 80 year old Grandma owned it for 15 years. Beat that

Damn you for mentioning the Volvo V70R 😅 The rare just got rarer. Thankfully, I’ve got dibs on an Autobahn tuned model from family in Germany. Seeing our 75yo Oma (grandmother) push that thing to 240kph on the A8 put a smile on my face for a week.

I feel like donut sometimes forgets how popular they are. This vid will single-handedly increase the prices of these cars.
-
These aint gonna be under 10k after this video for long lol
-
'ooooo a muddy hill' Literally a puddle you could ride a motorcycle through 😂
-
Absolutely love my 3V Mustang. Has an old school school look that the current Mustang doesn't have + an amazing sounding engine

Man... 11th gen F150's are sub 10k for a reason. Intake/Exhaust valves, timing issues, transmissions, electronics, etc. Most of these are pretty solid options but I'd have a hard time recommending specifically the 11th gen F150 to anyone shopping on a budget. Some are problem free, but just as many come with huge repair bills and neglected maintenance.

Worked at a Volvo dealer when the S60R and V70R came out, and we knew they would be sleeper collectors in the future. was so underrated when it came out and still is. an excellent choice
-
128i owner here, such a fun car and pretty easy(for a German car) to work on! Definitely love it.

Just a little correction on the Cedric/Gloria's... You can get most engine and transmission parts in the US if your willing to be smart and cross reference part numbers. I have a 93 Gloria (same car as the Cedrid) and have rebuilt my transmission, did water pump, timing belt, tune up, valve cover gaskets, termostat, and the only part I have to get from japan was the intake gaskets. I've redone the suspension to lower it. (VIP build) and all those parts are US sold. Everything comes from Q45's, 240's, Maximas, or 300zx's. Great car and easy to maintain.
-
Bro I swear if this raises the price of the 128i.... Gonna be so pissed. I was saving up to buy one
-
the fisker ocean should be around 10k soon 😂
-
Never seen one in any list like this, but the 2014-2017 v6 Honda accord coupes are A BLAST. Can def be found under 10k, real nice daily with a fun amount of power, great handling, pretty sleek body styling, and it’s a Honda so it’ll last forever. I own a 2014 and it’s been such a wonderful first car. Just crossed 150k on it today 😊. The longer I own it the more I just can’t believe it doesn’t get the love it deserves.

There is ONE V70R for sale in the US. It has 165000 miles and listed for $16,500. EDIT: FB marketplace has some clapped ones for less.
-
well there go all the cheap fun cars
-
You can absolutely go wrong with a F-150. Those 3 valve 5.4s are coming for ya!
-
128i Is a great nimble car! Super happy to see it on the video. Easily modded with like 335i parts etc.

I have a BMW 128 and the parts aren't that expensive, sometimes I'll buy my own and have my mechanic install them. He's 1/10th the price of a normal BMW mechanic. Been great so far.
