Is It POSSIBLE To Get A FUN AND RELIABLE USED CAR Or Truck For $15k Or BELOW? And WHAT Would You BUY OR RECOMMEND?

If you have money to burn, it's pretty easy to find something you will enjoy driving and that's reasonably reliable.

But start thinking $15k or BELOW and you don't need money, you need prayer.

It's NOT easy.

But it IS possible.

So tell us Spies, what car or truck would YOU choose OR RECOMMEND.

$15k or BELOW, and it must be USED and reasonably reliable, with a decent track record.

We put a candidate (not OUR choice but A choice) in our cover pic to get you thinking...

Go!

Ha our daughter just got one of these, same color and wheels. I have read that the Abarth model is pretty reliable with a few known areas such as rear wheel bearings at 60kish miles, a few cheap trim pieces etc... but it is much more fun to drive than her previous Audi TT Quattro which always seemed lifeless and dull although quite capable.

Well hit submit accidentally. In any case thinking about getting one too for a runabout with good gas mileage fairly reliable and lots of fun around town.

Clean V6 and V8 Mustangs can be had all day long. They are a hoot to drive and are very reliable.

Depending on the previous owner and mileage, a GTI could be a good risk with crossed fingers.

If you need a nice used car a Corolla at the price will be very reliable as a 3rd car or a car for your teenage driving children. It will get them A-B and does not have enough power to kill them unless they do something really dumb.
