If you take care of a Subaru they'll go forever. There are multiple people that come to local car meets with 200k+ on stock ej motors. If you mod a car with a bad tune and beat the hell out of it then it's probably not going to last too long.
@@ZLRACING123 200k+ doesn’t need to be an accomplishment though, you have to seriously baby these cars to get there. Even then sometimes they’ll just decide to have major problems at the drop of a hat and before you know it you’ve put a new motor in three times.
This is 100% TRUE! I use to sell new/used cars for a living....and about every single time a used Corvette would pull up, me and the other salesman would scatter! It was due to the owners attitude, they almost ALWAYS wanted TOP$$$ for their trade-in! And when we would go over the car and show them this or that, they ALMOST CERTAINLY would get butt hurt and just leave. Saying that they could sell it for this and that themselves.....So I would say, "If you could, you would have before you came up here to me!" LOL👍👍👍👍

Up until the pandemic(and now I can't find any cars hardly), later C4, C5s were pretty snatchable from $5-13k depending on mileage and performance spec, and C6's not much more than that. They're generally reliable fun cars with low annual maintenance costs, they are kind of an anomaly because depreciation stopped, but they won't become valuable for a long time either so long as there's still a lot of them on the road. The only bad marks against them is the stigma about the type of guys who drive them and the lack of prestige that comes from being a domestic and not an exotic import.

@@thooke222 I see dealerships asking 40k for ap1 s2000's with over 50k miles, most of them are just trying to make money due to the recent crazyness for this car. I doubt a sane person will actually pay these prices, but we never know. If people actually start paying this much for high mileage s2000's, the idea of owning one will be just a dream. Can't justify paying that much. The new Z is coming out and that's a great alternative to paying super inflated s2000 price.
The Focus and Fiesta ST are still sold in Europe and Australia, but no longer sold in North America. I asked Raiti’s Rides, and he said that these are some of the cars he wants in the US that they don’t get.
The Focus and Fiesta are essentially European cars. They were designed by Ford Germany, for the European market, it's no surprise they're still being sold in Europe.
@@MrManBuzz yup, and it's a bummer bc most Euro spec hatchbacks are way better than the CUVs created for our domestic market ( N America ) in performance, handling, and cargo capacity, yet for some reason our buyers equate ride height to safety which is ridiculous. My GT Sport is a Euro market hatchback called the i30 over there, the size, build quality, and features are like what we get on full size SUVs here, along with its performance. I've spoken to plenty of people from UK, Germany, and AU that say it's the perfect family hauler over there which it is here too. Unfortunately it was only offered here in the trim I have for one year, followed by the N-Line ( imo not as good as a daily ) for 2 model years, so 18-20. Now we have the Kona taking its place here and it's far less superior as an over all daily driver and performance. They are eventually offering the N here, but still I'm not interested. Less features and a higher center of gravity. SUVs were not meant to be track attackers.
It's crazy how Cars & Bids are the only ads that I don't skip because some of those listings are really cool. I even pause the video to look at what's for sale.
2 drug addicts were out of crack , they were panicking , I said “ if you guys want some crack just watch a Doug Demuro video , his voice cracks all the time “
I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this, but you can get a 2017 Ford Focus Electric for around $15,000 here in Canada (less in the states), and it’s by far the funnest car I’ve ever driven. Great handling and all, but its key feature is its instant throttle response. Holy cow. When I drive my mom’s Ford Fusion (far from a performance car, I know), when I put the throttle down it feels like waiting for a steam engine to heat up by comparison. That confidence when you put your foot down is just insane, and although I know people will have differing opinions on this, the lack of a loud engine, for me at least, makes acceleration feel more thrilling.
For the CTS-V, I’d instead recommend the STS-V, it’s got 69 (nice) more HP, you can get an 09’ model with less miles for a lower price than the CTS-V from 04’. The STS handles better and has more power for cheaper, clear winner IMO. -Cadillac STS owner
I rarely see any under 20k, but it might be because Im in the NY/CT area. I feel like under 20k as well can get a decent C5 or C4 from what I've seen on AutoTempest
I feel like doug omitted the ford Taurus sho. It has a twin turbo v6 and is probably one of the ultimate sleepers. You can actually find them for under 20k unlike some of Doug's actual pics.
i just replaced my 03 grand marquis that had 183,000 miles on it, still drove perfect i just wanted something with 4WD for the winter. i bought it for $3600 with 80,000 miles and drove it for 7 years.. i can’t recommend a panther platform enough. Very easy to work on yourself and reliable as all hell. i’d jump on it if you live somewhere without snow.
Great list, but there will always be what about this, and what about that. Was very surprised Nissan 350/370Z or Audi TT MK1/MK2 didn’t make the list… maybe saving the Audi MK1 for the under 10,000 list.
Well it's his opinion too you gotta remember. Not everyone thinks the 350 is all that great although I do think the 370z is a pretty solid car although it's handling isn't all that great
I had an 06 v1 a couple years ago. I LOVED IT! Only reason I don't still have it is I got rear-ended pretty good and it was totaled. Honestly, the interior wasn't that bad, I liked the seats a lot. The heated seats were the best I've ever used. Like opening a portal to hell under you butt. They were amazing. The radio was a pain though, all the computer info was integrated there so to replace it you lost a lot. However, I spent like $80 and was able to install an AUX input and could connect my phone and that fixed a lot of the "issues". Now I drive a 16 Chevy SS sedan (manual) - so basically the same formula as the V, just with a 6.2 LS3 and TR6060 instead of the CTS-V's 6.0 LS2 and T-56. I really like the SS, but I miss how "analogue" the V was compared to the SS. In certain situations I had to baby the V so it wouldn't try to kill me, but the SS just takes it and is like "are you even trying?" - The added tech takes some of the fun out of it.
I truly think the NC2 MX5 is the best buy. Such a great daily in GT trim, and still huge aftermarket support. The trans is so so good, the one-hand top deployment is lovely, heated seats. The most fun car I've ever owned was my 2011 in GT trim. Top down always unless it was pouring rain. Comfortable for road trips. AutoX in the summer. Just a brilliant car. No issues whatsoever until I started dicking around with tuning. Great MPG, 25+ usually. I hate that I had to sell mine last year. My GX now is great, but that NC2 is a car I'll remember forever.
I got a Mazda3 Grand Touring with the 2.5 it's a fun little grocery getter. It's like a practical miata. The steering and handling is incredible. It's a jack of all trades, a little sporty, a little luxury and practicality.
Just a note on C6 Corvettes since I hopped on that train a year ago and got one (which I love dearly)… if you get a 2008+ instead of a ‘05-‘07 you get a 30 horsepower bump and the LS3, which is an insanely great platform to start modifying on especially for drag racing or autocross. Also if you can find a Z51 package even better, since you get a few handling goodies with that.
I have a 2013 Scion FRS. I bought it new in 2012. I would rather have an FRS/86/BRZ than most of the cars on this list. It’s the best driving / handling car for the price. Avoid the earliest cars (like mine) for the valve spring issue. Later cars are bulletproof. Another car I would recommend for less than 20K is the 2010-2019 Ford Taurus SHO. I have a 2011 and it’s criminally overlooked. They are not sideways machines- but for a fast, comfortable sleeper they are tough to beat. Unmodified they are good for low 5 secs 0-60. Just a tune with stock mechanicals will get you high 4s. AWD and a set of decent all season or winter tires will get you through inclement weather with ease. Surprisingly good to drive and reliable. 2013 and later cars are probably what you want. If you buy a 2010-2012 (like mine) you’ll want to spend some money to upgrade the brakes. I went OEM and just put the 2013+ brakes on (discs, calipers, backing plates and some steel braided brake lines).
Owned a v1. Never let the AC condensation vent clog. When it fills the ducts with water the overflow point is directly above the BCM. Which is mounted in a CUP!! so your BCM will sit a a cup of water until it eventually goes haywire and turns on car alarm windshield wipers and rolls down windows while turning your headlights off while driving down the highway.... Yeah that happened. Glass rear diff and massive wheelhop with terrible shifter but otherwise fun car
One car very few people ever consider when looking for a fun car under 20k is a mazdaspeed 3. Plenty of power, practical body style, reliable engine, tons of aftermarket support, and a 2013 model with under 100k miles will only run you in the mid to high teens. for less than 10k, you can get the older first gen with around the same mileage.

Dude, one just sold on carsandbids _today_ for $18.9K.
@@thooke222 I see dealerships asking 40k for ap1 s2000's with over 50k miles, most of them are just trying to make money due to the recent crazyness for this car. I doubt a sane person will actually pay these prices, but we never know. If people actually start paying this much for high mileage s2000's, the idea of owning one will be just a dream. Can't justify paying that much. The new Z is coming out and that's a great alternative to paying super inflated s2000 price.

The Focus and Fiesta ST are still sold in Europe and Australia, but no longer sold in North America.
I asked Raiti’s Rides, and he said that these are some of the cars he wants in the US that they don’t get.
Joe is an awesome guy 👍🏻I'm glad his Channel has grown so much in the past year.
@@_dmfd It has. He now has 500K+, and yet I’ve been on the site longer than Joe, and I have 2.3K.
The Focus and Fiesta are essentially European cars. They were designed by Ford Germany, for the European market, it's no surprise they're still being sold in Europe.
@@MrManBuzz I see a few of these in my area.
@@MrManBuzz yup, and it's a bummer bc most Euro spec hatchbacks are way better than the CUVs created for our domestic market ( N America ) in performance, handling, and cargo capacity, yet for some reason our buyers equate ride height to safety which is ridiculous. My GT Sport is a Euro market hatchback called the i30 over there, the size, build quality, and features are like what we get on full size SUVs here, along with its performance. I've spoken to plenty of people from UK, Germany, and AU that say it's the perfect family hauler over there which it is here too. Unfortunately it was only offered here in the trim I have for one year, followed by the N-Line ( imo not as good as a daily ) for 2 model years, so 18-20. Now we have the Kona taking its place here and it's far less superior as an over all daily driver and performance. They are eventually offering the N here, but still I'm not interested. Less features and a higher center of gravity. SUVs were not meant to be track attackers.
Doug: I am gonna rank them in alphabetical order
Also doug: ranking the ford focus/fesitia st after the porsche 986 boxster 😂😂😂
focus/fiesta comes after boxster. hes listing cars not brands.
@@dirtrider88 Then why did Miata come before Boxster?
It's crazy how Cars & Bids are the only ads that I don't skip because some of those listings are really cool. I even pause the video to look at what's for sale.

2 drug addicts were out of crack , they were panicking , I said “ if you guys want some crack just watch a Doug Demuro video , his voice cracks all the time “

C6 Corvette "old Doug" was 100% Jay Leno! There's an uncanny resemblance already, but add the white hair and eyebrows and they're fricken identical.
He won me over when he gave the c6 Corvette a mention
yea except any c6 worth buying is going to be wayyyy over 20k
I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this, but you can get a 2017 Ford Focus Electric for around $15,000 here in Canada (less in the states), and it’s by far the funnest car I’ve ever driven. Great handling and all, but its key feature is its instant throttle response. Holy cow. When I drive my mom’s Ford Fusion (far from a performance car, I know), when I put the throttle down it feels like waiting for a steam engine to heat up by comparison. That confidence when you put your foot down is just insane, and although I know people will have differing opinions on this, the lack of a loud engine, for me at least, makes acceleration feel more thrilling.
For the CTS-V, I’d instead recommend the STS-V, it’s got 69 (nice) more HP, you can get an 09’ model with less miles for a lower price than the CTS-V from 04’. The STS handles better and has more power for cheaper, clear winner IMO.

I’m glad to see Doug is improving his prospective in regard to the HONDA S2K. It took time.. but he is getting there
Doug: "you can toss it"
British people: [burst in uncontrollable laughter]
Whatever turns you on, we don't judge people.
If you only have a $20,000 budget you can afford a 100-series Land Cruiser!
And, you'll need another $20k budget to keep putting gas in it!
Some honorable mentions that I feel were missed:
- Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
- 2nd generation Ram w/12 valve Cummins
- Jeep Cherokee XJ
- Volvo 740 turbo wagon
- Toyota SW20 MR-2
- 2nd or 3rd generation Toyota 4runner
As someone looking for a C6, $20k only gets a really rough one right now.
I rarely see any under 20k, but it might be because Im in the NY/CT area. I feel like under 20k as well can get a decent C5 or C4 from what I've seen on AutoTempest
I feel like doug omitted the ford Taurus sho. It has a twin turbo v6 and is probably one of the ultimate sleepers. You can actually find them for under 20k unlike some of Doug's actual pics.
shhhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone
So old they're fossilized now.
@@clonetrooper576 nah don't worry the Lincoln mks is still very much unknown for being a luxury version of the sho.

Good choice, reliable and has overlooked turning potential
Hoovie, is that you?
i just replaced my 03 grand marquis that had 183,000 miles on it, still drove perfect i just wanted something with 4WD for the winter. i bought it for $3600 with 80,000 miles and drove it for 7 years.. i can’t recommend a panther platform enough. Very easy to work on yourself and reliable as all hell. i’d jump on it if you live somewhere without snow.
Great list, but there will always be what about this, and what about that. Was very surprised Nissan 350/370Z or Audi TT MK1/MK2 didn’t make the list… maybe saving the Audi MK1 for the under 10,000 list.
Ngl the audi mk1 looks retarded and isn't a good car. Oil issues, timing belt, audi just wasn't making good cars at that time
Well it's his opinion too you gotta remember. Not everyone thinks the 350 is all that great although I do think the 370z is a pretty solid car although it's handling isn't all that great

The C6 Corvette is still so much fun! Plenty of power! Absolutely great value at under 20K!
if you buy a caddy keep in mind that the touch screens go out easily in hot areas and there is no other way to access features and there is no recall.
“voice cracks” when he says the cats-v is a great car
Yea hahaahahah:):)He knows its not...
I had an 06 v1 a couple years ago. I LOVED IT! Only reason I don't still have it is I got rear-ended pretty good and it was totaled.
Honestly, the interior wasn't that bad, I liked the seats a lot. The heated seats were the best I've ever used. Like opening a portal to hell under you butt. They were amazing.
The radio was a pain though, all the computer info was integrated there so to replace it you lost a lot. However, I spent like $80 and was able to install an AUX input and could connect my phone and that fixed a lot of the "issues".
Now I drive a 16 Chevy SS sedan (manual) - so basically the same formula as the V, just with a 6.2 LS3 and TR6060 instead of the CTS-V's 6.0 LS2 and T-56. I really like the SS, but I miss how "analogue" the V was compared to the SS. In certain situations I had to baby the V so it wouldn't try to kill me, but the SS just takes it and is like "are you even trying?" - The added tech takes some of the fun out of it.
@Yippee Skippy Ha!

I truly think the NC2 MX5 is the best buy. Such a great daily in GT trim, and still huge aftermarket support. The trans is so so good, the one-hand top deployment is lovely, heated seats. The most fun car I've ever owned was my 2011 in GT trim. Top down always unless it was pouring rain. Comfortable for road trips. AutoX in the summer. Just a brilliant car. No issues whatsoever until I started dicking around with tuning. Great MPG, 25+ usually.
I hate that I had to sell mine last year. My GX now is great, but that NC2 is a car I'll remember forever.
Do a 10k, 50k, 100k ect. Make this a series. Love hearing u talk about cars.
Most fun you can have under 20k is either a jeep wrangler TJ/YJ or a Miata no question
we should all throw a party for doug once he finds out the more doug demuro passord
I got a Mazda3 Grand Touring with the 2.5 it's a fun little grocery getter. It's like a practical miata. The steering and handling is incredible. It's a jack of all trades, a little sporty, a little luxury and practicality.
The Boxster is such an underrated sports car!
Ohhh this is going to be a good one! Now I know what to make flip videos on. 🤣
The Focus and Fiesta still sell in Europe🇪🇺💪
wrx and very reliable should not be in the same sentence
I got an e46 M3 in 2010. Spent over $20K just in repairs before selling it in 2017.
I bought a salvage title ND2 Miata and put 1500$ back into it to get it back on the road and I feel like a genius. Best decision I’ve ever made.
Obligatory "Doug forgot the password to More Doug Demuro" comment.
And it's just as unfunny as the password comments
I dont think doug knows his alphabet..... went from subaru to ford😂
Doug's definition of a "reliable car" seems to be relative. I guess if the bumper doesn't fly off in the first mile, it gets the thumbs up from Doug.
@@yungboicontigo9278 Well of course. But calling a 2000's Jeep Family SUV & a mid-2000's GM car "reliable" is really pushing it.
Just a note on C6 Corvettes since I hopped on that train a year ago and got one (which I love dearly)… if you get a 2008+ instead of a ‘05-‘07 you get a 30 horsepower bump and the LS3, which is an insanely great platform to start modifying on especially for drag racing or autocross. Also if you can find a Z51 package even better, since you get a few handling goodies with that.
Before he "gets down to business" with his lady: "Before I get started be sure to check out CARS and BIDS!"
RIP to every single affordable car. I might have to leave my car passion behind. Everything is too expensive.
Doug's the type of guy to put more doug demuro content on the main channel
I have a 2013 Scion FRS. I bought it new in 2012. I would rather have an FRS/86/BRZ than most of the cars on this list. It’s the best driving / handling car for the price. Avoid the earliest cars (like mine) for the valve spring issue. Later cars are bulletproof.
Another car I would recommend for less than 20K is the 2010-2019 Ford Taurus SHO. I have a 2011 and it’s criminally overlooked. They are not sideways machines- but for a fast, comfortable sleeper they are tough to beat. Unmodified they are good for low 5 secs 0-60. Just a tune with stock mechanicals will get you high 4s. AWD and a set of decent all season or winter tires will get you through inclement weather with ease. Surprisingly good to drive and reliable. 2013 and later cars are probably what you want. If you buy a 2010-2012 (like mine) you’ll want to spend some money to upgrade the brakes. I went OEM and just put the 2013+ brakes on (discs, calipers, backing plates and some steel braided brake lines).
Are we just going to ignore how much Doug looks like Jay Leno?
If Jay Leno was combined with Sheldon Cooper lol
The 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged had 510 horsepower, almost 100 more than the SRT8 Jeep. I had one and will guarantee it gaps the Jeep.
But it’s a Range Rover…. Maintenance is a goddamn nightmare
With a 20k budget i would not recommend a range rover
Its also about 1000 pounds heavier
@@snakevergil it’s really not as bad as people think, plus it’s worth paying a little extra for 10x the SUV.
@@Poatan.chama. But I wouldn’t recommend a first gen SRT8 either. You can basically guarantee it’s been beaten on.
So, if I’m understanding this right, you’re saying the C6 Corvette, is fun? Is that right?
Corvette is really the best, most fun car here
LS2 is a serious engine. Can have plenty of fun in that car.
Owned a v1.
Never let the AC condensation vent clog. When it fills the ducts with water the overflow point is directly above the BCM. Which is mounted in a CUP!! so your BCM will sit a a cup of water until it eventually goes haywire and turns on car alarm windshield wipers and rolls down windows while turning your headlights off while driving down the highway.... Yeah that happened.
Glass rear diff and massive wheelhop with terrible shifter but otherwise fun car
One car very few people ever consider when looking for a fun car under 20k is a mazdaspeed 3. Plenty of power, practical body style, reliable engine, tons of aftermarket support, and a 2013 model with under 100k miles will only run you in the mid to high teens. for less than 10k, you can get the older first gen with around the same mileage.
Why not a Mazdaspeed 3. Definitely don’t see those very much I feel like they might go up in value.
"Forget the interior quality" - Doug
When people have 20k to spend to “fun” is more than twice the budget of me owning a car.
