HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

BTW IVE SEEN THIS LIST above A BUNCH OF TIMES . IT's NOT THAT ACCURATE an infinit j30 DOESNT EVEN GO FOR 10k yet its in the 15k section

An Acura RSX Type-S is an awesome choice

An Audi TT is a great choice

A mitsubishi Eclipse is a good option

S2000 is nice

also a Miata

Subaru WRX or WRX STi

spend a lil more you could get an older 350Z

if you dont care an older car will get u more speed

Nissan 300ZX twin turbo is awesome!

mitsubishi 3000gt is good too

Though a lot of Americans don't do this, I would start buy suggesting you drive a cheaper car for a few years given your income and lack of credit - remember, consumers got us in this financial crisis, not the fed govt or banks. Find a car for $4,000, take out a loan and pay it off within a year to build credit and drive the car for a few years, it will lose minimal value since it will have already depreciated considerably. You will also be able to save money with insurance because if you own the car you don't have to carry collision (do this once the car depreciates below $2,000), if you owe on the car you are required to hold the more costly insurance. If you want to purchase this car for 10k, you will most likely be able to secure a loan, but remember the interest rate will be up since you have no credit (don't you have a cell phone?), you don't need a down payment, but they may want a co-signer (stay out of this, it's not worth risking a relationship over a car). Best way to find out is to ask a bank, but if you ask multiple banks, do it within a few weeks so the constant credit checking they will do won't hurt your credit.

2000 -2004 audi a62.7 bi-turboo 2005-06nissan altima Se-R but more like 15k you can get a 2000 5 series bmw and the 2 your looking at already

those cars are out of your range.

Maybe a Mitsubishi Eclipse (get the 6 cyl version) or Mustang.

2002 trans am
