These are my top 5 picks for cool used cars under $20,000. Most people assume you have to pay $40,000 or more to have a fast car, luxury car, or something that will actually appreciate in value over time. In this video, I will show you that with less that $20,000, you can have all of those and have some money left over.

Want fast? Plenty of American muscle for you to choose from. Want luxury? Pick out the best example from a plethora of used European cars. Want value? Well, you’ll have to see my #1 pick in this list for the car that I believe will continue to rise in value.

I have driven every car on this list, and have personally owned a few of them for years. As someone who often finds themselves shopping for cars in this price range, these are the 5 cars I continue to keep an eye out for. Nice examples of any of these cars will put a smile on your face just as easy as a new $60,000 car.

So many of the cars on this list have characteristics that are often missing in new cars. Manual transmissions, analog driving experience, lightweight, etc… These cars come from by favorite generation and represent the ultimate driving experience at its peak.

After you watch this video, let me know in the comments if I missed your favorite car. Interested to hear your opinions on my picks. Thank you for watching.
