Audi S4 (B6)
- Third generation Audi S4 wasn’t produced that long ago. It was the latest and freshest S4 between early 2003 and late 2005. Saloon, wagon or convertible – they were all available with 40-valve 4.2L V8 pushing up 339 horsepower. Even current models make “only” 333 ponies thanks to the supercharged V6, but 2017 year models will finally surpass the B6 in terms of power. Still, you’ll have to splash more than $50,000 on them, while used S4 shouldn’t cost you more than $10,000 whichever way you decide to go.
- Although you can certainly find much newer Nissan 350Z for less than $10k, they often cost more than that. This is why we’re recommending its predecessor, the 300ZX Z32. It came either with 222-horsepower 3.0L normally aspirated V6 or the 300-horsepower twin-turbo version of the same engine. Garrett turbochargers and dual intercoolers really did a great job on 300ZX which still remains one of the most fun to drive Nissans to the day.
- Although Honda S2000 still keeps its value, you shouldn’t have too many trouble finding one available for less than $10k. It might even be the post-2005 year model, but more likely scenario is that it’ll be slightly older one. In any case, Japanese roadster boasts extremely high rpm redline which goes up to 9,000 in older models. At the same time, Honda S2000 packs 237 horsepower which further adds to its exciting driving dynamics. They simply don’t make them like that anymore.
