3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
You can have one incredible Miata for $10-15k, An FD could be a nice find, but the nice ones are still a little north of $15k, I'm partial to the good ole AE86, though that's not a fast car by any means (more of a "true" sports car by my standards).
It also depends on your definition of sports car. You can make a phenomenally nice, decent handling fox-body mustang for $10k (4.6L straight-axle Cobras are right in that range, too), a Turbo Mk II Mr2 can easily be found for less than $10k if you're more into that whole mid-engine business, I'm sure you could find all sorts of MG GTs, MGBs, Alfa roadsters, etc, etc
You could pick up a very clean C4 Corvette, or a beat-up C5.
ooh... maybe an IS300? That's more sport-sedan, but still nice.
$10-15k is a hard range to fill... everything I can think of is either old enough to be in the $5 range, or new/rare enough to be much more.
I was thinking the Porsche Boxster... the mid engine setup is supposed to have great handling. You could probably find a higher mileage 350Z or even G35 coupe for around $15k. Maybe even older BMW 3 series.
