He missed out on the 2016 Lexus GS F. You can get low mileage examples for $48-50k. Muscle car NA 5.0 liter V8, 467 hp, RWD, great sounding engine, amazing dealer experience, sedan practicality and unlike the other cars on the list they won't break constantly and cost you an arm and a leg to maintain/own.

If looking for a GT350, I would strongly encourage getting a 2019+. The early ones were known for oil consumption and in 2019 they updated a lot to the car including internal engine components.

[@italianstallion3130]

Not for under $50k. Under $50 a 2017 or 2018 is fine- avoid the 2016 because you couldn’t have electronic package and track package together- in 2017 the track package became standard. A non track pack 2016 WILL overheat the transmission/differential and go into limp mode after 4-5 laps on any track.

Dead reliable, but a true offroading beast that never disappoints. Their quirky features also make it really fun to own. It has three windshield wipers, Toyota matched the exterior paint to the inside interior door panels and center console, and they built the interior so that it can be hosed off. He mentioned the TRD Pro, which is a nice car, but it's so expensive and overpriced, whereas with the FJ Cruiser they aren't as much, but are just as cool looking and capable.

[@colechapman6976]

@Ryan The FJ isn't overpriced, considering what it can do and how capable it is off-road. It's a Toyota too, so naturally, the used price will be relatively high. The thing is though, unlike most other Toyotas that tend to be dull, this one has a sense of humor. Instead of some boring 4runner or something, you could have this quirky retro offroader that can be as long-lasting as Buckingham Palace. The prices aren't even that much considering the desirability of these cars. I don't think they are overpriced because you get a whole lot of car and unlike most other used Toyotas, or even new Toyotas, it isn't an absolute snooze fest

[@colechapman6976]

@Ryan You get a quirky car, with three windshields, funky doors, retro design, but it's still a Toyota, and it's still reliable. That's why they are valued in the offroad community. Some other new cars, like the new Defender, the new Jeep Wrangler, are cool, but they don't have Toyota reliability. The thing that makes this car special, is it stands out while being reliable. You can own something that is unique, without dreading something mechanical going wrong with it. The Toyotas that are coming out today just aren't as cool looking as the FJ Cruiser apart from the TRD Pro, but that thing is way more overpriced

Love this list! A car that would fit in this for me, only bc I have been looking at them, are used Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglios. They go from $30k+, you get modern tech along with a fun overall car that looks great.

[@TheAwesomeFossum]

Early 90’s Dodge vipers for 20-30k$?! THATS insanely high!! I’m seeing them listed for 5-15k max on facebook in TEXAS of all places!

[@samkohai]

Currently have a 4runner and an rx7, glad both made the list!

[@westsideskateshop564]

GT350 for the win! I don’t think they are under 50k though, are they? I was thinking more like 60k+ for a nice one

[@sgilmour22]

I have a 996 4S and I smile every time I walk up to it, particularly from the rear. It has a lot of old school 911 in the lines, and the engine when the revs are up just really wants to please.

[@SteveLowtwait]

This was a great video. I love seeing recommendations from someone as knowledgeable as Doug. But my budget isn't near $50k. I'd love to see videos for $40k, $30k, $20k, etc.

[@barkerjustin]

He has one for $20k. Search the channel

[@Pusfilth]

Best car for $20k is a Dingin Forrester

[@JT0661]

Great video. I would take the Estate AMG

[@Nash_Nismo]

FD is beautiful as you said, but too many strikes against it with upkeep and finding people to work on it. I’d go same era 300ZX Z32…also gorgeous styling, but far more economical for parts and maintenance and more readily available shops who work on Z cars.

[@spork8721]

the z32 aint exactly reliable either

[@MazDanRX795]

Lol not really a whole lot better..

[@Olhado256]

Yup, the upkeep itself you can live with but if there's nobody near you who wants to work on it, that's a dealbreaker.

[@ldmtag]

I'd buy an X164 GL with Offroad Pro package. It's jack of all trades master of none kind of vehicle that looks BEAUTIFUL. It's my personal most beautiful car in history

[@DoYouWantTaBeFree]

This is a solid list. I need to stop watching videos like this because they make me want to go buy cars I don't need. 😄

[@tobiaskehm3401]

Greetings from Germany. After your 996 4S Review I bought one :) So nice to see, that you still stay with your opinion about this beautiful cars. :)

[@leonlipinski583]

Same here!

[@lefauxpas]

A C6 or maybe even a C7 would fit nicely on that list. But these are Doug’s choices and I would agree with most of them. I will say also that I’d take a GX Lexus over the G Wagon unless I was seriously off roading, but then I likely wouldn’t take a G for that either. Plus it’s too much of a bling mobile these days. The M5 is great but…a POS reliability and quality wise. So sad that BMW’s have gotten that way in more recent years. I’d go with the Audi instead (personal experience). Love the AMG wagon. Nice video all in all.

[@retrograde11]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Totally agree on all your points.

[@TheGnarTube]

When 50,000 is a budget.

[@DeadLySk1ttL3s2113]

This is not alot when we are talking about sports/exotic performance car. I'm saving up for a car that is 50k. It's going to take me 3yrs. Just be financially responsible and you can afford the things you want. Your goals are achievable if you stay focused.👍

[@campbelljamieson2714]

It is.

[@SK-zm8iu]

Budget is the allocation. 20k and 200k are both budgets. One is low and the other is high.

[@StockySnail]

Thanks for having a Lotus in the list. Most seem to pass them by but they are so fun to drive. Car market is still a little crazy so hope people can find diamonds in the rough.

[@1SmokingLizard]

Trust me....This video and topic will not age well. We all know why.

[@Soravia]

You can full quality rebuild your RX7 turbo engine for $10k at Rotary Resurrection in Tennessee. Just ship the whole car, DON'T take it apart yourself or you will be charged more.

[@nithinshakamuri6161]

Thank you for this Doug, would love to see one of these for $100k as well if possible!

Another awesome vid! would love to hear your thoughts on $30k cars

[@Hipas_Account]

You missed the American landyacht lover, those are always cheap, and give you a driving experience like none other. It's not always about going fast, but even landyachts are fun when propelled at speeds they're not supposed to go. I drive a 1991 Chevy Caprice Classic, and now during the winter time in Finland it is especially fun.

[@Ivan-xo2td]

I agree that big American “land-yachts” are underrated

[@roundearthshill248]

Wasn't mentioned in the video but I just bought a 2017 Lexus GX460, which I feel is a reliable and capable off-road SUV. I've daily'd a manual 370z the last 5 years so the GX has been a nice change for me. Still have the 370 but going to start doing mods that will make it less streetable, so I'm glad to have the GX.

Doug: makes money with a website that sells cars. Also Doug: “this car should sell for way more!”

[@hvh377]

The whole list was great. But to me, the Viper was the star of the show!

[@ThePeakoftheGeek]

I have never been so early to a doug demuro video! Would’ve thought of a good joke. Uh, Doug Demuro is the guy who would talk about 50,000 dollar budget next to a 250,000 car?

[@CarsAndKyleVlogs]

Thought a manual Vantage would easily make this. Decent power (better with a few mods), incredible styling and reliable.

[@PrivateUsername]

Probably would replace the RX-7 with a 93-ish MR2 Turbo. Otherwise, nice list.

[@MrTom078]

DougCember 🎉 never disappoints!

[@B86432]

Not spending around 50k for a car with around 80k miles Doug smh

[@KandKo]

Pretty surprised the latest gen MX-5 didn't make the list. Looking strictly at the fun to drive part, there isn't a lot that tops it at any price point, let alone under 50k

[@MazDanRX795]

Probably because that's way under 50k.

[@coastalbeer]

Why spend $50,000 when you can get any Miata for way less. Yes, now we are talking a two seater, so it's a car for singles and couples only, but it's a second car anyways. You would want a bigger car also for all other needs.

[@Neal_S]

In the eight years since the GT350 was introduced, I can count on four hands the number that I’ve seen on the road. Approximately 24,000 GT350s and 350R’s were manufactured. There was a 6 model year run, which means about 4000 per year were built.

[@swifitly-6149]

A lot in my area but also a lot of 5.0s tryna Jack the 350r grille

[@RobertoAllen]

When you price the used M5, you need to factor in the repair bills.

[@ericcarabetta1161]

Nooooo!!! Don't tell people to get a Viper, now the price is going to go up dammit. Somehow the Viper has managed to stay under the radar (I don't know how), and stayed relatively inexpensive for what an amazing car you get.

[@Boatfisherz1]

Vipers are so awesome and they check alot of boxes. American exotic 90s.... so awesome! I see 90s Supras, Ferrari and Lambos more than I see Vipers. Great cars under $50k that I agree are bargins.

[@STNGR4Y]

a used stinger would be pretty good too

[@brettlarsen6111]

Are you going to review the prime delivery van? That'd be awesome!

[@CaptAztek1001]

Please. I would love to watch a video on that Amazon van. Isn’t that the electric version?

Toyota has just released the 40th Anniversary edition of the 4Runner. It is awesome. It is immediately identified by a tri-color hockey stick stripe along the sides and 40th anniversary badges on the tailgate. Stunning vehicle.

[@1969EType]

Always good to see the Corvette getting the love it deserves...🙄

[@accord_aero_r]

And early Caymans. I'm surprised the 987 S wasn't mentioned along with the 996. This list could have been pretty long though, honestly. But hey, not mentioning these cars online all the time might mean they stay cheap!

Great list! I would add any Jaguar F-Type. Can be had with a manual (V6 Only) and peeps look at you like your rich (while spending less than they spent on a normal new pick-up truck).

F-type definitely. Not to show off but one of the most beautiful looking cars in modern history. Not any less reliable than other cars on the list. Very comfortable on long trips. Sound from the exhaust is fantastic!
