It's a geographic issue, you too far from the land of retirees!

If you talk them into shipping or felt up to a road trip Florida there may be some in the right price range even including transport: Marauder $8500 - to bad it's Orlando.

I've been looking at the Mazda6 and Acura TL. Seats in the TL are niiiiiiiiice.

If they are getting the car for him to visit customers they may want him to actually make it to the customers. Unless he's gone into selling tow trucks in which case that could be the winner.

I want one of those, I have seen a few fairly cheap ones around but still not cheap enough I could afford them lol. I do plan to eventually buy one though.

If it was me, it would be an easy choice, 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona.

Waaaaay out of budget. Think $10K-$15K used ~2007ish sedans.

Sorry. Got carried away

I'd still go with a Charger.

Maybe something like this - 2006 Dodge Charger R/T - $8800 (Nashville) http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/3891803721.html

03+ Honda Accord EX-L V6? Quick, roomy, comfortable, suprisingly nice, good MPG, pretty fun to drive(if you can find a 6-speed), smart choice(not image-heavy, never break, change oil, done).

Hmmm, Magnum might be in the running. They are cheap compared to the Chargers...

05 R/T Hemi for $12K

Ex-Police Magnum Hemi for $7500

Get rid of the four door requirement:

or PI

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/3943207292.html

no hoopties!

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/3946489404.html

style, but with questionable running costs

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/3917622730.html

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/3935937369.html

But this is probably what you need - a very nice car all around, if a bit boring

OK, just skip the first link, then, the rest are four doors.

Here's my leaders (after RX-8 gets shot down) in a rough order from most want to least:

2005 SRT-4 in Red for $11,750

2005 Mazda6 i hatchback in Red for $11,999

2011 Mazda2 hatchback in Blue for $11,995

And if for some reason I can't get them to foot a manual, then I need torque.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP in Grey for $10,990

2003 Mercury Grand Marquis in Sky Blue for $8,995

2008 Ford Crown Vic LX in Black for $11,995

How about a 08+ Cobalt SS sedan? They've got the turbocharged LNF as well as the track capable suspension of the coupe. These would be towards the upper end on the budget, but definitely still within. Highway mileage is nearly 30, in the real world.

2010 up Fusion sport. 263hp 3.5L V6 AWD fun with way more stealth factor than some other cars and way less grandma stigma than the Marauder.

330i ZHP E46, 4 door unlike E46 M3's
