Best rwd car w/ a manual under 15k?

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

Hello CT. Looking for a car that’s rwd, comes in a manual, and is under 15k. That’s pretty much it besides it has to handle well and be fun to drive. Doesn’t have to be that fast. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

E46 M3, E46 330i, E36 M3, E36 328i, E36 325i, etc

Right I’ve been looking at those but the M’s get really costly with maintenance, even diy. Actually I think they all do. Was recently looking at an e36 328i and that’s really the only issue. All are brilliant cars though.

E30 M3 or the 240sx ;)

E30 M3 for under 15k? That doesn’t exist lol. 240sx would be sweet though I’ve been considering that.

Any volvo before 850, so 940 and older

Haven’t thought about volvos yet… I’ll have to look into it! Which model would be the best?

Any silvia

BMW E39 540i M Sport? 292 HP, 4.4L V8

I would rather choose the E34 540i :)

this was also suggested in a video lately but there is just one slight issue. The E39 V8’s are lined with some sort of coating, forget the name and not important, the difference in fuel (additives) causes this lining to perrish/fail prematurely. So in most of the EU these engines are still pretty good, but most of the american E39 V8’s will have issues. Anyone with specific names etc. is very welcome
