I would buy a car that was built before 2001, because first of all most cars till 1997 have Bulletproof engines which will probably never die. Also it will be tax free because of how old it is. I would probably buy an Old mercedes and restore it. An mercedes w123, or a mercedes 190E are pretty good options. If you find a car with LPG just get that one, now a days petrol is so expensive.

It's rust free, well maintained and the backseat looks like it was never used. You can even get a 528 or a 530 with a lovely 3 liter flat six (in fact, all gasoline models have flat sixes, even the 520). It's fantastic to drive, it has beautiful understated styling that still holds up (unlike modern BMW's :'), it has a lot of modern luxury like dual zone climate control, cruise control, PDC, heated seats etc, it's incredibly quiet on the highway, it's comfortable and all round just a great cruiser. Yeah, some electronics can break but if you're up for doing some work on it yourself it won't break the bank and there's plenty parts available. The six cilinder engines are very reliable if properly maintained. Steer clear of the V8 models tho. It's also one of those cars I take friends for rides in and when they ask me what it costed they're always taken aback by the fact I only payed 3k for it.

I had an 04 rx8 a few years ago. It was the most fun to drive of anything ever with perfect balance, 6 speed manual, and rear wheel drive. Then after a year, the battery died, which caused it to flood the engine the moment I tried to start it and found out the battery was dying. Heater and A/C quit working. Always keep some oil with you and check it each week. And lastly, with such little torque and horsepower numbers, comes the worst fuel economy I've experienced. Worse mpg than a 2016 camaro SS I'm wanting to get. I'd recommend the car I got after the rx8, which was a 2008 eclipse gt 6 speed. Cheap, decent power, decent mpg, didn't cause me any problems.

The problem with the Renesis 13B in the RX8 is the electronic oil metering pump. They go bad and people don't know to premix their fuel leading to heat/wear on the apex seals eventually burning them out and possibly destroying the rotor or more. An older parts RX7 (mechanical metering pump) I bought had around 150k miles when I bought it. The car ran fine but was rusted out so I dropped that 13B into my third 71/72 Opel GT with a proper turbo and it runs like a champ 30k miles later with just preventative maintenance. People get a kick out of that car, the Turbo LE5/LNF Opel, and the first one I got with a factory CIH engine. When it's a fairly rare car you don't have people that will raise pitchforks in the air, not as many anyway.

1) Rx8 Has two rotors not 1 2) Mr2 sw20 also came in a 200 hp Turbo model with the 3sgte side note the 944 was also a terrible car to work on because of that transaxle trans as well.. post 89 they made the up pipe on the turbo models two piece, so you didnt have to basically pull the motor when you replaced the clutch.

[@pranav9182]

I recommended that they mention the RX-8 on their Instagram and I’m 99% certain that they didn’t put it in because of my but I’m gonna believe it anyway

Very happy an old school muscle car made the list. The 80s camaro was dope as hell too

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

13:00 what the hell are those child stroller seats lmao

[@ttstooge1695]

My older brother has one and yeah those back seats hilariously small and uncomfortable. Fun car, though!

[@TheAsdfrid]

Finally a unique cheap car list. Thanks Throttle House.

[@generally_good_guy]

Great video guys, and I heartily agree on the Porsche 944 as a great car for the money. Definitely try to spend a bit more, but they're a driving experience worth checking out. For a future topic, how about low cost daily driver's that can be weekend warrior off road as well. Keep the great content coming.

[@annacollett9106]

A red 97 Pontiac firebird was my first car. I felt so cool driving that thing 😂

[@BassFace1776]

I think a g35/g37 or the infiniti variants are really good for 5k.

[@mikemoeser8411]

Had my rx8 for over 10 years now and no problems other than the oil cooler hoses failing. Only fault i have with it is the low tq but its a special car that always brings a smile to my face

[@JuiceHasser]

Oh dope I found one for 4900... okie dokie lets check the mileage. ahh yess 895,000 miles and 14 crashes. Sign me up

After seeing mighty car mod's JDM mr-2 fix up, I'm not sure I'd want to experience the rust I'm sure 5,000 canadian mr-2's have but....mid engine!

[@williamparker7823]

A 5k mr2 is absolutely not one you want. Good luck finding a decent turbo for under 10. I love mr2's but they aren't budget friendly and going on 30 years old now.

[@paul0596]

this was a very good video, think ill consider subscribing after that (also i liked that you explained things like the rotary engine and the MR2, it was really helpful since ive heard them but never knew what it was)

[@andrewsalas7774]

Now do under 1k lmao I'm kidding, great list funny, entertaining and informative as usual

[@mgjamesfin7011]

@@user-cs8ei3eh8i where do you get them for a grand? Sweden?

[@TechDove]

For under 1k you can buy my clapped out MK4 Jetta GLI wagon. Seriously please buy it from me, I can no longer keep up with maintenance costs and it's putting a strain on my marriage

[@mikeklass2508]

You can get a Toyota Supra, with different (nicer) clothes, for under five grand. There is one, although with a V8, at our neighborhood corner sales lot for $4,000 (been there for a couple years, I checked it out (I'm a mechanic) and it was in good shape) and only a little over 100,000 miles (nothing for a toyota). It's called a Lexus SC300 (with a Supra six cylinder) or a SC400 with the eight cylinder. These are very nice luxury cars and, unlike many on your list, these will last, worry free, darn near forever.

[@robertpal9]

I just bought my second G37 a month ago and where Im located in the USA they dont go for less than 8k (Unless a salvage title).

[@curtism-w6b]

I had a Saab Aero. I saw it, had no clue what it was until doing research. Put about 30k on it in 2 years and sold it. Fun car.

That's one good company that went to shit since its Renault partnership... Nissan used to have near Toyota and Honda level reliability but with more options for sportiness. Sad.

Would like to add a car for this list, the Volvo S80 T6 1, you get them for around $3,000-5,000. Powerful twinturbo straight 6 and comfortable as fuuuuuck.

make sure to get the 2002 or newer though, they reinforced the gearbox from then on
