An adrenaline rush that can only be achieved by blasting down a quarter-mile track in the time that it would typically take a driver to get up to 60. Of course, that is not the case with many new cars coming out onto the market because some of them can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.0 seconds or less, such as the  Tesla Plaid  and the Porsche 911S. Unfortunately, these cars are still out of reach for most performance car lovers, but luckily there are some vehicles out there that are under $20,000 that are fast. A buyer will have to spend a little extra restoring some of these affordable, fast cars, but that's part of the challenge — and excitement — of diving deep into this pond. Spend a little and spend a little more until the car only found in dreams sits in the garage. One that's fast, powerful, and cheap, all rolled up into one awesome vehicle. Let's take a look at these 20 cheap but fast  sports cars  that can get every car lover moving down the right path. Looking at data from Hagerty, Kelley Blue Book, J.D. Power, CarGurus, and CarEdge, we've compiled a list of some really fast cars you can still pick up for cheap. Top 30 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast We have added additional information to each of the entries, to make for a more comprehensive piece and to share more details about each of the cars, and what to look out for. Related \n\t\t\t13 Best Sports Cars Under $20,000\n\t\t The used car market is brimming with thrilling, exciting, and, beautiful sports cars that don’t cost as much as you might think 30  \n                            Dodge Neon SRT4\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $4,171\n     Despite the shortcomings of the basic Dodge Neon, it had  a trump card called the Neon SRT-4.  The high-powered Neon SRT4 was the turbocharged variant of the Neon that was developed by Performance Vehicle Operations, the in-house tuning arm of what was then Daimler Chrysler. The Neon SRT4 packs a wallop. It is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine, producing 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. What's even better is that these compact, performance sedans were underrated. Depending on the model year, you are looking at 220 to 230 horsepower at the wheels, which roughly, translates to 255 to 270 crankshaft horsepower. \n            Pricing For A 2003 Dodge Neon SRT4\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,171 Good $4,747 Excellent $5,356 Mint $5,657 It doesn't sound like much by today's standards, but the Neon SRT4 was created to surprise many people. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.6 seconds - 0.4 seconds faster than the rear-wheel-drive 2001 Ford Mustang - and hit a quarter-mile time of just 14.1 seconds before maxing out at a top speed of 153 MPH. Perhaps the stink of the \"Neon\" nameplate has kept demand low for the SRT-4 because used turbocharged Neon models can be found for under $10,000. Point-blank, the Neon SRT-4 is a fast car. 29  \n                            E39 BMW 540i\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $4,279\n     The  BMW E39 is arguably one of the most underrated versions of the 5 Series . On the surface, the BMW 540i is a top-end spec of the 5 Series E39. But inside, it's an M5, even if it wasn't as powerful as that generation's actual M5. There's a lot to like about the 540i's capabilities. It was powered by a 4.4-liter V-8 engine that produced 282 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Moreover, dyno tests have revealed the horsepower figure to be underrated by 19 horsepower, meaning the E39's M62B44 engine makes a bit over 300 horsepower. Versions of this engine, found in newer BMW models, make 330 horsepower so, performance modifications are available if you choose to stick with the factory V-8. \n            Pricing For A 2003 E39 BMW 540i\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,279 Good $4,680 Excellent $4,893 Mint $5,226 If you are lucky enough to find one with a six-speed manual, 0 to 60 mph (97 km\/h) happens in 5.9 seconds, and the quarter-mile time of around 14.0 seconds at 104 MPH. Like most models, the 540i's top speed was limited to 155 MPH, but ungoverned, the Bavarian sedan can reach 165 MPH. Used versions of the BMW 540i E39 sell for as low as $6,000, with some of the best-used cars for under $10,000. If you want an M5 that can be built back up to prominence — and maybe throw in a bigger engine — the 540i E39 is an excellent way to go. 28  \n                            Lexus LS400\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $4,612\n     Throughout the years, the  Lexus LS series  has been a mainstay for the company. Even though they have always been marketed as a personal full-size luxury sedan, they can get up and go. The second generation Lexus LS400 has a 1 UZ-FE V8 under the hood that can pump out up to 260 horses and has a torque rating of 270 pound-feet. \n            Pricing For 1997 Lexus LS400\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,612 Good $5,033 Excellent $5,313 Mint $5,631 That equals a 0 to 60 time of just under seven seconds and a quarter mile track time of around 15.2 seconds at 94.3 mph. The top speed of the LS400 is somewhere near 155 mph, but that all depends upon the track conditions. Even though this car is a Lexus, the second generation cars can still be bought for under $10,000, but the average going price today is close to $15,000 for a model in good condition. Related \n\t\t\tThe Best Used Sports Cars Under $5,000\n\t\t Proof that affordable high-performance sports cars aren't a myth and here's why these 25 models made it to our comprehensive list 27  \n                            2010 Ford Taurus SHO\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $4,999\n     The  Ford Taurus  is a loyal sedan that had a hand in bailing the Blue Oval out of a deep hole in the 1980s. While its contribution to Ford isn't forgotten, its popularity certainly dwindled, and eventually fell flat before the 2020 model year. That said, there have been numerous model years that have excelled in what it was they were meant to do, from cheap economy car to growling performance sedan. \n            Pricing For A 2010 Ford Taurus SHO (KBB)\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,999 Good $7,995 Excellent $9,767 Mint $10,900 Equipped with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, the 2010 Taurus SHO cranks out 365 horses and 350 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to launch the sedan from 0-60 MPH in 5.2 seconds. The top speed of 133 MPH is a bummer, though it ultimately preserved the lives of many Taurus SHOs, and their drivers. Standard AWD also helps the big sedan retain traction when dipping in and out of corners. 26  \n                            Jaguar XJR\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $5,011\n     The second-generation  Jaguar XJ  was in the market for 17 years; to be fair, the XJ X308 wasn't that great of a car. Its faulty engine could set a person back in the red if it conked out at the most inopportune time. It also had a dated look, a product of laziness on Jaguar's part. On the other hand, the design has aged rather well, and the XJR would certainly fit well in today's neo-retro-themed automotive world. \n            Pricing For A 2003 Jaguar XJR\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $5,011 Good $5,655 Excellent $6,085 Mint $6,572 A car owner probably won't enjoy peak use of that engine due to its age and general wear and tear. But back then, the V-8 could summon 370 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque, allowing a 0-to-60-MPH time of just 5.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Used versions of the XJR X308 are dirt cheap, underscoring the model's myriad of issues when it was in the market. Still, if a buyer wants to take a stab at one and restore it to prominence, buying a used model for as low as $7,000 is possible. 25  \n                            BMW 330i\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $5,114\n     Until the 2007 model year, the  BMW 3-series  was left behind by rivals that had given up on the high displacement V-8s and switched to turbocharged V-6s and inline four-cylinders. For the 2007 model year, BMW finally threw its hat into the pot and used the familiar BMW 3.0-liter V-6 for the standard power plant, but with a turbocharger to kick things off in the right direction. \n            Pricing For A 2006 BMW 330i\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $5,114 Good $5,604 Excellent $5,933 Mint $6,235 Adding a turbocharger to the engine created a system that pushed out up to 45 more horsepower and 80 pound-feet of torque, for a total of 300 horsepower at 5,800 RPMs and 300 pound-feet of torque at 1,400 RPMs. The torque from the engine was put to the rear drive tires through a 6-speed manual transmission, pushing the car from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 144 MPH (because of a governor that limits top speed.) Related \n\t\t\t30 Fastest Sedans In The World, Ranked\n\t\t While sedans are often overlooked when debating about the fastest cars in the world, here's why you shouldn't ignore these following four-door models  24  \n                            2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $5,400\n     The  Audi TT  is one of those cars that captured the world's intrigue for a moment thanks to its unique appearance and superb performance ability. The small TT 3.2 Quattro features a 250-horsepower 3.2-liter V-6, which was the most powerful TT at the time, as well as a six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox, and Quattro AWD. The VW-built V-6 allows the small coupe to race from 0-60 MPH in 6.4 seconds. And while not the fastest, the TT is sure to turn heads. \n            Pricing For A 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro (Hagerty)\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $5,400 Good $9,300 Excellent $21,100 Mint $31,400 The 2005 TT 3.2 Quattro can be bought for under $9,000 in good condition, though it's always important to check with a professional before purchasing a used sports car. That said, shelling out a little more dough can get you in a better example, which will be rewarding for years to come. The TT generally receives positive reviews from owners regarding its quality, reliability, and performance, with the 2005 model year earning a 4.4 out of 5 consumer rating. 23  \n                            Infinity G35 Coupe\n                     \n            Starting Used Price: $6,674\n     Anything built and designed after the Nissan 350Z will be a fast car, even if it is not marketed as such. The  Infinity G35 Coupe is a car that can scoot  from a dead stop to 60 within a matter of 5.8 seconds. It can get down the quarter-mile track in under 14 seconds if the conditions are right. The 3.5L V-6 may not be the most powerful of engines, but it can still pump out up to 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. \n            Pricing For A 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $6,674 Good $7,280 Excellent $7,624 Mint $8,094 The key to making this type of engine fast is weight and performance, which the G35 coupe has, and since it is not one of the most popular sports models on the market, they can be bought for as little as $10,000 or less if wanting a project car that needs some work. 22  \n                            Hyundai Genesis Coupe\n                     \n            Starting Price Used: $6,950\n     The first proper sports car from South Korea  came for the 2010 model year and offered a great alternative to the likes of the Infiniti G35, and the V-6-powered Mustang and Camaro models. The best part is, because Hyundai isn’t really known for its exciting performance models, the Genesis can still be had for dirt cheap. Moreover, you can choose between a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a naturally aspirated V-6. Both engines are loosely based on Mitsubishi designs and are fairly robust if taken care of. \n            Pricing For A 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $6,950 Good $12,467 Excellent $16,467 Mint $26,999 For some reason, many examples are poorly maintained, which often results in rod-bearing failure. The Genesis Coupe boasts a balanced chassis and is one of the most spacious, two-door cars you can buy. Despite the Genesis Coupe being great value for money, the various squeaks and rattles from the interior will remind you that you are still driving a Hyundai. Still, it’s not nearly as bad as 1990s GM quality. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes between 6.9 and 4.8 seconds, depending on how your Genesis Coupe is equipped. Related \n\t\t\t10 Coolest Classic Luxury Cars You Can Buy For $20,000\n\t\t Collecting classic luxury cars should not cost you an arm and leg and here is our list of the best examples you can get for $20,000 or less 21  \n                            Lexus SC430\n                     \n            Starting Price Used: $6,999\n     It’s no secret that, since its inception, Lexus was meant to be the Japanese answer to Mercedes-Benz. The SC430 is the logical competitor to  the Mercedes SL500  (also on the list). Similarly, the SC430 is a two-seater, convertible grand tourer with a torquey V-8, and no particular eagerness to attack a canyon. For a long time, these Japanese luxury coupes were underappreciated, and we have  Top Gear  (Series 2, Episode 3) to thank for that, as the three former presenters dubbed it “the worst car on sale” in 2003. \n            Pricing For A 2001 Lexus SC430\n     Current Condition Market Price Fair $6,999 Good $9,703 Excellent $15,692 Mint $23,000 It’s not that the Lexus SC430 is, actually, bad, however. The car is well-built and features one of Toyota’s best V-8 engines ever made – the 3UZ-FE. The five and six-speed, torque-converter automatics are not the quickest systems out there, but both are extremely smooth. Even at 20 years old, the Lexus SC430 shows no major issues. Most reported problems are related to squeaks and minor electrical gremlins.","attrs_markdown":"Menu\n\n[![TopSpeed logo](https:\/\/static0.topspeedimages.com\/assets\/images\/tps-logo-full-colored-light.svg?v=3.0)](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/)\n\nSign in now\n\nClose\n\n- - News Submenu\n    - [Car News](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-news\/)\n    - [Electric Car News](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/electric-car-news\/)\n    - [Motorcycle News](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/motorcycle-news\/)\n  - Guides And Reviews Submenu\n    - [Expert Car Reviews](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-reviews\/)\n    - [Expert Vehicle Comparisons](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/vehicle-comparisons\/)\n    - [Car Guides](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-guides\/)\n    - [Motorcycle Guides](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/motorcycle-guides\/)\n    - [Motorcycle Gear Reviews](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/motorcycle-gear\/)\n- - [Car Type](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/cars\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Supercars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/supercars\/)\n    - [Sports Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/sports-cars\/)\n    - [Electric Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/electric-cars\/)\n    - [Muscle Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/muscle-cars\/)\n    - [Luxury Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/luxury-cars\/)\n    - [Classic Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/classic-cars\/)\n    - [SUVs](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/suvs\/)\n    - [Pickup Trucks](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/pickup-trucks\/)\n  - [Motorcycle Type](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/motorcycles\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Fast Motorcycles](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/fast-motorcycles\/)\n    - [Custom Motorcycles](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/custom-motorcycles\/)\n    - [Cruiser Motorcycles](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/cruiser-motorcycles\/)\n    - [Touring Motorcycles](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/touring-motorcycles\/)\n    - [Electric Motorcycles](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/electric-motorcycles\/)\n    - [Naked Bikes](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/naked-bikes\/)\n    - [Dual Sport & Dirt Bikes](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/dual-sport-and-dirt-bikes\/)\n    - [Sport Bikes](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/sport-bikes\/)\n    - [Adventure Bikes](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/adventure-bikes\/)\n  - Car Culture Submenu\n    - [Car TV](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-tv\/)\n    - [Car Collections](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-collections\/)\n    - [Custom Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/custom-cars\/)\n    - [JDM](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/jdm\/)\n    - [Off-Roading](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/off-roading\/)\n- - Originals Submenu\n    - [Car Renders](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-renders\/)\n    - [Exclusives](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/exclusives\/)\n    - [TopSpeed Awards](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/topspeed-awards\/)\n- [Videos](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/videos\/)\n- [Threads](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/threads\/)\n\n- [Sign in](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/top-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast\/)\n- [Newsletter](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/page\/newsletter\/)\n\nMenu\n\n[![TopSpeed logo](https:\/\/static0.topspeedimages.com\/assets\/images\/tps-logo-icon-colored-light.svg?v=3.0)](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/)\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\n[Threads](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/top-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast\/#threads \"Threads\")\n\nMore Action\n\nSign in now\n\n[Car News](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-news\/)\n\n[Electric Car News](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/electric-car-news\/)\n\n[Car Reviews](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/car-reviews\/)\n\n[Electric Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/electric-cars\/)\n\n[Makes](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/makes\/)\n\nClose\n\n# Top 20 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast\n![4](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fjpg%2F201407%2Fkirby_crop.jpg?fit=crop&w=90&h=90)\n\nBy  [Kirby Garlitos](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/author\/kirbygarlitos\/)\n\nUpdated\n\nAug 1, 2024\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\n[Thread](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/top-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast\/#threads)\n\nLink copied to clipboard\n\n[Sign in to your TopSpeed account]()\n\n###### [Read update](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/top-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast\/#update-2024-08-01)\n- ***Top 30 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast***\n\nMost gearheads dream of one day owning a car that can satisfy their need for speed.

Point-blank, the Neon SRT-4 is a fast car.\n\n## 29   E39 BMW 540i\n### Starting Used Price: \\$4,279\n![A parked 2002 BMW 540i](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2002-bmw-540i-bat.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront and side view of a 2002 BMW 540i\n\nBring a Trailer\n\nThe [BMW E39 is arguably one of the most underrated versions of the 5 Series](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/peak-bmw-5-series-e39-m5\/). On the surface, the BMW 540i is a top-end spec of the 5 Series E39. But inside, it's an M5, even if it wasn't as powerful as that generation's actual M5. There's a lot to like about the 540i's capabilities. It was powered by a 4.4-liter V-8 engine that produced 282 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque.\n\nMoreover, dyno tests have revealed the horsepower figure to be underrated by 19 horsepower, meaning the E39's M62B44 engine makes a bit over 300 horsepower. Versions of this engine, found in newer BMW models, make 330 horsepower so, performance modifications are available if you choose to stick with the factory V-8.\n\n### Pricing For A 2003 E39 BMW 540i\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$4,279 |\n| Good | \\$4,680 |\n| Excellent | \\$4,893 |\n| Mint | \\$5,226 |\n\nIf you are lucky enough to find one with a six-speed manual, 0 to 60 mph (97 km\/h) happens in 5.9 seconds, and the quarter-mile time of around 14.0 seconds at 104 MPH. Like most models, the 540i's top speed was limited to 155 MPH, but ungoverned, the Bavarian sedan can reach 165 MPH. Used versions of the BMW 540i E39 sell for as low as \\$6,000, with some of the best-used cars for under \\$10,000. If you want an M5 that can be built back up to prominence — and maybe throw in a bigger engine — the 540i E39 is an excellent way to go.\n\n## 28   Lexus LS400\n### Starting Used Price: \\$4,612\n![A parked 1996 Lexus LS400](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1996-lexus-ls400-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront and side view of a 1996 Lexus LS400\n\nMecum\n\nThroughout the years, the [Lexus LS series](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/lexus\/ls\/) has been a mainstay for the company. Even though they have always been marketed as a personal full-size luxury sedan, they can get up and go. The second generation Lexus LS400 has a 1 UZ-FE V8 under the hood that can pump out up to 260 horses and has a torque rating of 270 pound-feet.\n\n### Pricing For 1997 Lexus LS400\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$4,612 |\n| Good | \\$5,033 |\n| Excellent | \\$5,313 |\n| Mint | \\$5,631 |\n\nThat equals a 0 to 60 time of just under seven seconds and a quarter mile track time of around 15.2 seconds at 94.3 mph. The top speed of the LS400 is somewhere near 155 mph, but that all depends upon the track conditions. Even though this car is a Lexus, the second generation cars can still be bought for under \\$10,000, but the average going price today is close to \\$15,000 for a model in good condition.\n\n[2:07 ![Blue 2001 Porsche Boxster](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/resize_jjm03420-scaled.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=422&dpr=2)](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/15-sports-cars-for-under-5000-dollars\/)\n\nRelated\n\n##### [The Best Used Sports Cars Under \\$5,000](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/15-sports-cars-for-under-5000-dollars\/ \"The Best Used Sports Cars Under $5,000\")\nProof that affordable high-performance sports cars aren't a myth and here's why these 25 models made it to our comprehensive list\n\nPosts\n## 27   2010 Ford Taurus SHO\n### Starting Used Price: \\$4,999\n![3\/4 front view of 2010 Ford Taurus SHO](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/mixcollage-14-jun-2024-02-07-pm-8104.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nIFCAR\/Wikimedia Commons\n\nThe [Ford Taurus](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/tag\/ford-taurus\/) is a loyal sedan that had a hand in bailing the Blue Oval out of a deep hole in the 1980s. While its contribution to Ford isn't forgotten, its popularity certainly dwindled, and eventually fell flat before the 2020 model year. That said, there have been numerous model years that have excelled in what it was they were meant to do, from cheap economy car to growling performance sedan.\n\n### Pricing For A 2010 Ford Taurus SHO (KBB)\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$4,999 |\n| Good | \\$7,995 |\n| Excellent | \\$9,767 |\n| Mint | \\$10,900 |\n\nEquipped with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, the 2010 Taurus SHO cranks out 365 horses and 350 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to launch the sedan from 0-60 MPH in 5.2 seconds. The top speed of 133 MPH is a bummer, though it ultimately preserved the lives of many Taurus SHOs, and their drivers. Standard AWD also helps the big sedan retain traction when dipping in and out of corners.\n\n## 26   Jaguar XJR\n### Starting Used Price: \\$5,011\n![A parked 2000 Jaguar XJR](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2000-jaguar-xjr-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront and side view of a 2000 Jaguar XJR\n\nMecum\n\nThe second-generation [Jaguar XJ](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/tag\/jaguar-xj\/) was in the market for 17 years; to be fair, the XJ X308 wasn't that great of a car. Its faulty engine could set a person back in the red if it conked out at the most inopportune time. It also had a dated look, a product of laziness on Jaguar's part. On the other hand, the design has aged rather well, and the XJR would certainly fit well in today's neo-retro-themed automotive world.\n\n### Pricing For A 2003 Jaguar XJR\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$5,011 |\n| Good | \\$5,655 |\n| Excellent | \\$6,085 |\n| Mint | \\$6,572 |\n\nA car owner probably won't enjoy peak use of that engine due to its age and general wear and tear. But back then, the V-8 could summon 370 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque, allowing a 0-to-60-MPH time of just 5.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Used versions of the XJR X308 are dirt cheap, underscoring the model's myriad of issues when it was in the market. Still, if a buyer wants to take a stab at one and restore it to prominence, buying a used model for as low as \\$7,000 is possible.\n\n## 25   BMW 330i\n### Starting Used Price: \\$5,114\n![A parked 2004 BMW 330i](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2004-bmw-330i-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront and side view of a 2004 BMW 330i\n\nMecum\n\nUntil the 2007 model year, the [BMW 3-series](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/bmw\/3-series\/) was left behind by rivals that had given up on the high displacement V-8s and switched to turbocharged V-6s and inline four-cylinders. For the 2007 model year, BMW finally threw its hat into the pot and used the familiar BMW 3.0-liter V-6 for the standard power plant, but with a turbocharger to kick things off in the right direction.\n\n### Pricing For A 2006 BMW 330i\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$5,114 |\n| Good | \\$5,604 |\n| Excellent | \\$5,933 |\n| Mint | \\$6,235 |\n\nAdding a turbocharger to the engine created a system that pushed out up to 45 more horsepower and 80 pound-feet of torque, for a total of 300 horsepower at 5,800 RPMs and 300 pound-feet of torque at 1,400 RPMs. The torque from the engine was put to the rear drive tires through a 6-speed manual transmission, pushing the car from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 144 MPH (because of a governor that limits top speed.)\n\n[![Fastest-Sedans-In-The-World-1](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/fastest-sedans-in-the-world-1.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=422&dpr=2)](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/fastest-sedans-in-the-world-ranked\/)\n\nRelated\n\n##### [30 Fastest Sedans In The World, Ranked](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/fastest-sedans-in-the-world-ranked\/ \"30 Fastest Sedans In The World, Ranked\")\nWhile sedans are often overlooked when debating about the fastest cars in the world, here's why you shouldn't ignore these following four-door models\n\nPosts\n## 24   2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro\n### Starting Used Price: \\$5,400\n![Front 3\/4 shot of a 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/a237hubh.jpeg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront 3\/4 shot of a 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro\n\nBring a Trailer\n\nThe [Audi TT](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/tag\/audi-tt\/) is one of those cars that captured the world's intrigue for a moment thanks to its unique appearance and superb performance ability. The small TT 3.2 Quattro features a 250-horsepower 3.2-liter V-6, which was the most powerful TT at the time, as well as a six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox, and Quattro AWD. The VW-built V-6 allows the small coupe to race from 0-60 MPH in 6.4 seconds. And while not the fastest, the TT is sure to turn heads.\n\n![google news icon large](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/google-news-icon-large.png?q=70&fit=contain&w=420&dpr=1)\n\n##### Google News\n**Follow On**\n\n[Google News](https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAiEAV2EB1IJAm32VnNXOy6U8MqFAgKIhAFdhAdSCQJt9lZzVzsulPD)\n\nAdd TopSpeed to your Google News feed.\n\nExpand Collapse\n### Pricing For A 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro (Hagerty)\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$5,400 |\n| Good | \\$9,300 |\n| Excellent | \\$21,100 |\n| Mint | \\$31,400 |\n\nThe 2005 TT 3.2 Quattro can be bought for under \\$9,000 in good condition, though it's always important to check with a professional before purchasing a used sports car. That said, shelling out a little more dough can get you in a better example, which will be rewarding for years to come. The TT generally receives positive reviews from owners regarding its quality, reliability, and performance, with the 2005 model year earning a 4.4 out of 5 consumer rating.\n\n## 23   Infinity G35 Coupe\n### Starting Used Price: \\$6,674\n![A parked 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2007-infinity-g35-coupe-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront and side view of a 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe\n\nMecum\n\nAnything built and designed after the Nissan 350Z will be a fast car, even if it is not marketed as such. The [Infinity G35 Coupe is a car that can scoot](https:\/\/www.hotcars.com\/infiniti-g35-coupe-reliability-need-to-know\/) from a dead stop to 60 within a matter of 5.8 seconds. It can get down the quarter-mile track in under 14 seconds if the conditions are right. The 3.5L V-6 may not be the most powerful of engines, but it can still pump out up to 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.\n\n### Pricing For A 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$6,674 |\n| Good | \\$7,280 |\n| Excellent | \\$7,624 |\n| Mint | \\$8,094 |\n\nThe key to making this type of engine fast is weight and performance, which the G35 coupe has, and since it is not one of the most popular sports models on the market, they can be bought for as little as \\$10,000 or less if wanting a project car that needs some work.\n\n## 22   Hyundai Genesis Coupe\n### Starting Price Used: \\$6,950\n![2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2013-hyundai-genesis-coupe-r-spec.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\n2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec\n\nHyundai\n\n[The first proper sports car from South Korea](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/why-hyundai-should-make-one-last-rear-wheel-drive-coupe-before-its-too-late\/) came for the 2010 model year and offered a great alternative to the likes of the Infiniti G35, and the V-6-powered Mustang and Camaro models. The best part is, because Hyundai isn’t really known for its exciting performance models, the Genesis can still be had for dirt cheap. Moreover, you can choose between a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a naturally aspirated V-6. Both engines are loosely based on Mitsubishi designs and are fairly robust if taken care of.\n\n### Pricing For A 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$6,950 |\n| Good | \\$12,467 |\n| Excellent | \\$16,467 |\n| Mint | \\$26,999 |\n\nFor some reason, many examples are poorly maintained, which often results in rod-bearing failure. The Genesis Coupe boasts a balanced chassis and is one of the most spacious, two-door cars you can buy. Despite the Genesis Coupe being great value for money, the various squeaks and rattles from the interior will remind you that you are still driving a Hyundai. Still, it’s not nearly as bad as 1990s GM quality. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes between 6.9 and 4.8 seconds, depending on how your Genesis Coupe is equipped.\n\n[![Red 1985 BMW 635 CSi](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/resize_screenshot-2023-07-20-at-07-04-19.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=422&dpr=2) A front 3\/4 shot of a 1985 BMW 635 CSi Bring A Trailer](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/coolest-classic-luxury-cars-you-can-buy-for-20000\/)\n\nRelated\n\n##### [10 Coolest Classic Luxury Cars You Can Buy For \\$20,000](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/coolest-classic-luxury-cars-you-can-buy-for-20000\/ \"10 Coolest Classic Luxury Cars You Can Buy For $20,000\")\nCollecting classic luxury cars should not cost you an arm and leg and here is our list of the best examples you can get for \\$20,000 or less\n\nPosts\n## 21   Lexus SC430\n### Starting Price Used: \\$6,999\n![2002 Lexus SC 430](https:\/\/static1.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/lexus-sc430_pebble_beach_edition-2009-1280-02.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2)\n\nFront and side shot of a gray 2002 Lexus SC 430\n\nLexus\n\nIt’s no secret that, since its inception, Lexus was meant to be the Japanese answer to Mercedes-Benz. The SC430 is the logical competitor to [the Mercedes SL500](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/cars\/car-news\/let-chris-harris-tell-you-why-the-mercedes-sl500-r129-is-the-ultimate-cruiser\/) (also on the list). Similarly, the SC430 is a two-seater, convertible grand tourer with a torquey V-8, and no particular eagerness to attack a canyon. For a long time, these Japanese luxury coupes were underappreciated, and we have *Top Gear* (Series 2, Episode 3) to thank for that, as the three former presenters dubbed it “the worst car on sale” in 2003.\n\n### Pricing For A 2001 Lexus SC430\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Current Condition** | **Market Price** |\n| Fair | \\$6,999 |\n| Good | \\$9,703 |\n| Excellent | \\$15,692 |\n| Mint | \\$23,000 |\n\nIt’s not that the Lexus SC430 is, actually, bad, however. The car is well-built and features one of Toyota’s best V-8 engines ever made – the 3UZ-FE. The five and six-speed, torque-converter automatics are not the quickest systems out there, but both are extremely smooth. Even at 20 years old, the Lexus SC430 shows no major issues. Most reported problems are related to squeaks and minor electrical gremlins.\n\n****![Topspeed logo](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/public\/build\/images\/tps-logo-google-promo.svg?v=3.0)**  Stories You Care About, Delivered**\n\n[Follow On Google News](https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAiEAV2EB1IJAm32VnNXOy6U8MqFAgKIhAFdhAdSCQJt9lZzVzsulPD)\n\n- [![Sports Cars](https:\/\/static0.topspeedimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2023-porsche-911-gt3-rs.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=32&h=32&dpr=1.5) Sports Cars](https:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/category\/sports-cars\/ \"Sports Cars\")\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\nShare\n\n[Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topspeed.com%2Ftop-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast%2F%2F&src=sdkpreparse)   [X](https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Top%2030%20Cheap%20Cars%20That%20Are%20Really%20Fast&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topspeed.com%2Ftop-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast%2F)   [LinkedIn](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topspeed.com%2Ftop-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast%2F&title=Top%2030%20Cheap%20Cars%20That%20Are%20Really%20Fast&source=www.topspeed.com&summary=From%20sleek%20low-slung%20coupes%20to%20sleeper%20sedans%2C%20here%20are%2025%20properly%20fast%20used%20cars%20that%20thankfully%20won%27t%20drain%20your%20wallet)   [Reddit](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topspeed.com%2Ftop-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast%2F)   [Flipboard](http:\/\/share.flipboard.com\/bookmarklet\/popout?v=2&title=Top%2030%20Cheap%20Cars%20That%20Are%20Really%20Fast&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topspeed.com%2Ftop-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast%2F&utm_campaign=tools&utm_medium=article-share&utm_source=www.topspeed.com)   [Copy link]()   [Email](<mailto:?Subject=Top 30 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast&Body=Check%20this%20out%21%0Ahttps:\/\/www.topspeed.com\/top-15-cheap-cars-that-are-really-fast\/>)\n\nClose\n\nThread\n\n[Sign in to your TopSpeed account]()\n\nWe want to hear from you!

Meta Title	Top 20 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast
Meta Description	From low-slung coupes to sleek sleeper sedans, here are 25 genuinely fast cars that won't break the bank
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Most gearheads dream of one day owning a car that can satisfy their need for speed. An adrenaline rush that can only be achieved by blasting down a quarter-mile track in the time that it would typically take a driver to get up to 60. Of course, that is not the case with many new cars coming out onto the market because some of them can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.0 seconds or less, such as the Tesla Plaid and the Porsche 911S. Unfortunately, these cars are still out of reach for most performance car lovers, but luckily there are some vehicles out there that are under $20,000 that are fast. A buyer will have to spend a little extra restoring some of these affordable, fast cars, but that's part of the challenge — and excitement — of diving deep into this pond. Spend a little and spend a little more until the car only found in dreams sits in the garage. One that's fast, powerful, and cheap, all rolled up into one awesome vehicle. Let's take a look at these 20 cheap but fast sports cars that can get every car lover moving down the right path. Looking at data from Hagerty, Kelley Blue Book, J.D. Power, CarGurus, and CarEdge, we've compiled a list of some really fast cars you can still pick up for cheap. Top 30 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast We have added additional information to each of the entries, to make for a more comprehensive piece and to share more details about each of the cars, and what to look out for. Related 13 Best Sports Cars Under $20,000 The used car market is brimming with thrilling, exciting, and, beautiful sports cars that don’t cost as much as you might think 30 Dodge Neon SRT4 Starting Used Price: $4,171 Despite the shortcomings of the basic Dodge Neon, it had a trump card called the Neon SRT-4. The high-powered Neon SRT4 was the turbocharged variant of the Neon that was developed by Performance Vehicle Operations, the in-house tuning arm of what was then Daimler Chrysler. The Neon SRT4 packs a wallop. It is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine, producing 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. What's even better is that these compact, performance sedans were underrated. Depending on the model year, you are looking at 220 to 230 horsepower at the wheels, which roughly, translates to 255 to 270 crankshaft horsepower. Pricing For A 2003 Dodge Neon SRT4 Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,171 Good $4,747 Excellent $5,356 Mint $5,657 It doesn't sound like much by today's standards, but the Neon SRT4 was created to surprise many people. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.6 seconds - 0.4 seconds faster than the rear-wheel-drive 2001 Ford Mustang - and hit a quarter-mile time of just 14.1 seconds before maxing out at a top speed of 153 MPH. Perhaps the stink of the "Neon" nameplate has kept demand low for the SRT-4 because used turbocharged Neon models can be found for under $10,000. Point-blank, the Neon SRT-4 is a fast car. 29 E39 BMW 540i Starting Used Price: $4,279 The BMW E39 is arguably one of the most underrated versions of the 5 Series . On the surface, the BMW 540i is a top-end spec of the 5 Series E39. But inside, it's an M5, even if it wasn't as powerful as that generation's actual M5. There's a lot to like about the 540i's capabilities. It was powered by a 4.4-liter V-8 engine that produced 282 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Moreover, dyno tests have revealed the horsepower figure to be underrated by 19 horsepower, meaning the E39's M62B44 engine makes a bit over 300 horsepower. Versions of this engine, found in newer BMW models, make 330 horsepower so, performance modifications are available if you choose to stick with the factory V-8. Pricing For A 2003 E39 BMW 540i Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,279 Good $4,680 Excellent $4,893 Mint $5,226 If you are lucky enough to find one with a six-speed manual, 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) happens in 5.9 seconds, and the quarter-mile time of around 14.0 seconds at 104 MPH. Like most models, the 540i's top speed was limited to 155 MPH, but ungoverned, the Bavarian sedan can reach 165 MPH. Used versions of the BMW 540i E39 sell for as low as $6,000, with some of the best-used cars for under $10,000. If you want an M5 that can be built back up to prominence — and maybe throw in a bigger engine — the 540i E39 is an excellent way to go. 28 Lexus LS400 Starting Used Price: $4,612 Throughout the years, the Lexus LS series has been a mainstay for the company. Even though they have always been marketed as a personal full-size luxury sedan, they can get up and go. The second generation Lexus LS400 has a 1 UZ-FE V8 under the hood that can pump out up to 260 horses and has a torque rating of 270 pound-feet. Pricing For 1997 Lexus LS400 Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,612 Good $5,033 Excellent $5,313 Mint $5,631 That equals a 0 to 60 time of just under seven seconds and a quarter mile track time of around 15.2 seconds at 94.3 mph. The top speed of the LS400 is somewhere near 155 mph, but that all depends upon the track conditions. Even though this car is a Lexus, the second generation cars can still be bought for under $10,000, but the average going price today is close to $15,000 for a model in good condition. Related The Best Used Sports Cars Under $5,000 Proof that affordable high-performance sports cars aren't a myth and here's why these 25 models made it to our comprehensive list 27 2010 Ford Taurus SHO Starting Used Price: $4,999 The Ford Taurus is a loyal sedan that had a hand in bailing the Blue Oval out of a deep hole in the 1980s. While its contribution to Ford isn't forgotten, its popularity certainly dwindled, and eventually fell flat before the 2020 model year. That said, there have been numerous model years that have excelled in what it was they were meant to do, from cheap economy car to growling performance sedan. Pricing For A 2010 Ford Taurus SHO (KBB) Current Condition Market Price Fair $4,999 Good $7,995 Excellent $9,767 Mint $10,900 Equipped with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, the 2010 Taurus SHO cranks out 365 horses and 350 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to launch the sedan from 0-60 MPH in 5.2 seconds. The top speed of 133 MPH is a bummer, though it ultimately preserved the lives of many Taurus SHOs, and their drivers. Standard AWD also helps the big sedan retain traction when dipping in and out of corners. 26 Jaguar XJR Starting Used Price: $5,011 The second-generation Jaguar XJ was in the market for 17 years; to be fair, the XJ X308 wasn't that great of a car. Its faulty engine could set a person back in the red if it conked out at the most inopportune time. It also had a dated look, a product of laziness on Jaguar's part. On the other hand, the design has aged rather well, and the XJR would certainly fit well in today's neo-retro-themed automotive world. Pricing For A 2003 Jaguar XJR Current Condition Market Price Fair $5,011 Good $5,655 Excellent $6,085 Mint $6,572 A car owner probably won't enjoy peak use of that engine due to its age and general wear and tear. But back then, the V-8 could summon 370 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque, allowing a 0-to-60-MPH time of just 5.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Used versions of the XJR X308 are dirt cheap, underscoring the model's myriad of issues when it was in the market. Still, if a buyer wants to take a stab at one and restore it to prominence, buying a used model for as low as $7,000 is possible. 25 BMW 330i Starting Used Price: $5,114 Until the 2007 model year, the BMW 3-series was left behind by rivals that had given up on the high displacement V-8s and switched to turbocharged V-6s and inline four-cylinders. For the 2007 model year, BMW finally threw its hat into the pot and used the familiar BMW 3.0-liter V-6 for the standard power plant, but with a turbocharger to kick things off in the right direction. Pricing For A 2006 BMW 330i Current Condition Market Price Fair $5,114 Good $5,604 Excellent $5,933 Mint $6,235 Adding a turbocharger to the engine created a system that pushed out up to 45 more horsepower and 80 pound-feet of torque, for a total of 300 horsepower at 5,800 RPMs and 300 pound-feet of torque at 1,400 RPMs. The torque from the engine was put to the rear drive tires through a 6-speed manual transmission, pushing the car from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 144 MPH (because of a governor that limits top speed.) Related 30 Fastest Sedans In The World, Ranked While sedans are often overlooked when debating about the fastest cars in the world, here's why you shouldn't ignore these following four-door models 24 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro Starting Used Price: $5,400 The Audi TT is one of those cars that captured the world's intrigue for a moment thanks to its unique appearance and superb performance ability. The small TT 3.2 Quattro features a 250-horsepower 3.2-liter V-6, which was the most powerful TT at the time, as well as a six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox, and Quattro AWD. The VW-built V-6 allows the small coupe to race from 0-60 MPH in 6.4 seconds. And while not the fastest, the TT is sure to turn heads. Pricing For A 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro (Hagerty) Current Condition Market Price Fair $5,400 Good $9,300 Excellent $21,100 Mint $31,400 The 2005 TT 3.2 Quattro can be bought for under $9,000 in good condition, though it's always important to check with a professional before purchasing a used sports car. That said, shelling out a little more dough can get you in a better example, which will be rewarding for years to come. The TT generally receives positive reviews from owners regarding its quality, reliability, and performance, with the 2005 model year earning a 4.4 out of 5 consumer rating. 23 Infinity G35 Coupe Starting Used Price: $6,674 Anything built and designed after the Nissan 350Z will be a fast car, even if it is not marketed as such. The Infinity G35 Coupe is a car that can scoot from a dead stop to 60 within a matter of 5.8 seconds. It can get down the quarter-mile track in under 14 seconds if the conditions are right. The 3.5L V-6 may not be the most powerful of engines, but it can still pump out up to 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Pricing For A 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe Current Condition Market Price Fair $6,674 Good $7,280 Excellent $7,624 Mint $8,094 The key to making this type of engine fast is weight and performance, which the G35 coupe has, and since it is not one of the most popular sports models on the market, they can be bought for as little as $10,000 or less if wanting a project car that needs some work. 22 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Starting Price Used: $6,950 The first proper sports car from South Korea came for the 2010 model year and offered a great alternative to the likes of the Infiniti G35, and the V-6-powered Mustang and Camaro models. The best part is, because Hyundai isn’t really known for its exciting performance models, the Genesis can still be had for dirt cheap. Moreover, you can choose between a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a naturally aspirated V-6. Both engines are loosely based on Mitsubishi designs and are fairly robust if taken care of. Pricing For A 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Current Condition Market Price Fair $6,950 Good $12,467 Excellent $16,467 Mint $26,999 For some reason, many examples are poorly maintained, which often results in rod-bearing failure. The Genesis Coupe boasts a balanced chassis and is one of the most spacious, two-door cars you can buy. Despite the Genesis Coupe being great value for money, the various squeaks and rattles from the interior will remind you that you are still driving a Hyundai. Still, it’s not nearly as bad as 1990s GM quality. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes between 6.9 and 4.8 seconds, depending on how your Genesis Coupe is equipped. Related 10 Coolest Classic Luxury Cars You Can Buy For $20,000 Collecting classic luxury cars should not cost you an arm and leg and here is our list of the best examples you can get for $20,000 or less 21 Lexus SC430 Starting Price Used: $6,999 It’s no secret that, since its inception, Lexus was meant to be the Japanese answer to Mercedes-Benz. The SC430 is the logical competitor to the Mercedes SL500 (also on the list). Similarly, the SC430 is a two-seater, convertible grand tourer with a torquey V-8, and no particular eagerness to attack a canyon. For a long time, these Japanese luxury coupes were underappreciated, and we have Top Gear (Series 2, Episode 3) to thank for that, as the three former presenters dubbed it “the worst car on sale” in 2003. Pricing For A 2001 Lexus SC430 Current Condition Market Price Fair $6,999 Good $9,703 Excellent $15,692 Mint $23,000 It’s not that the Lexus SC430 is, actually, bad, however. The car is well-built and features one of Toyota’s best V-8 engines ever made – the 3UZ-FE. The five and six-speed, torque-converter automatics are not the quickest systems out there, but both are extremely smooth. Even at 20 years old, the Lexus SC430 shows no major issues. Most reported problems are related to squeaks and minor electrical gremlins.

An adrenaline rush that can only be achieved by blasting down a quarter-mile track in the time that it would typically take a driver to get up to 60. Of course, that is not the case with many new cars coming out onto the market because some of them can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.0 seconds or less, such as the [Tesla Plaid](https://www.topspeed.com/what-makes-tesla-model-x-plaid-so-fast/) and the Porsche 911S. Unfortunately, these cars are still out of reach for most performance car lovers, but luckily there are some vehicles out there that are under \$20,000 that are fast. A buyer will have to spend a little extra restoring some of these affordable, fast cars, but that's part of the challenge — and excitement — of diving deep into this pond. Spend a little and spend a little more until the car only found in dreams sits in the garage. One that's fast, powerful, and cheap, all rolled up into one awesome vehicle. Let's take a look at these 20 cheap but fast [sports cars](https://www.topspeed.com/tag/sports-cars/) that can get every car lover moving down the right path. Looking at data from Hagerty, Kelley Blue Book, J.D. Power, CarGurus, and CarEdge, we've compiled a list of some really fast cars you can still pick up for cheap. ### UPDATE: 2024/08/01 *Top 30 Cheap Cars That Are Really Fast* We have added additional information to each of the entries, to make for a more comprehensive piece and to share more details about each of the cars, and what to look out for. [![2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2003-toyota-mr2-spyder.jpeg?q=49&fit=crop&w=422&dpr=2)](https://www.topspeed.com/best-sports-cars-under-20k/) Related ##### [13 Best Sports Cars Under \$20,000](https://www.topspeed.com/best-sports-cars-under-20k/ "13 Best Sports Cars Under $20,000") The used car market is brimming with thrilling, exciting, and, beautiful sports cars that don’t cost as much as you might think Posts ## 30 Dodge Neon SRT4 ### Starting Used Price: \$4,171 ![A parked 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2005-dodge-neon-srt4-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Front and side view of a 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4 Mecum Despite the shortcomings of the basic Dodge Neon, it had [a trump card called the Neon SRT-4.](https://www.hotcars.com/dodge-neon-srt-4-costs-facts-and-figures/) The high-powered Neon SRT4 was the turbocharged variant of the Neon that was developed by Performance Vehicle Operations, the in-house tuning arm of what was then Daimler Chrysler. The Neon SRT4 packs a wallop. It is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine, producing 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. What's even better is that these compact, performance sedans were underrated. Depending on the model year, you are looking at 220 to 230 horsepower at the wheels, which roughly, translates to 255 to 270 crankshaft horsepower. ### Pricing For A 2003 Dodge Neon SRT4 \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$4,171 \| \| Good \| \$4,747 \| \| Excellent \| \$5,356 \| \| Mint \| \$5,657 \| It doesn't sound like much by today's standards, but the Neon SRT4 was created to surprise many people. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.6 seconds - 0.4 seconds faster than the rear-wheel-drive 2001 Ford Mustang - and hit a quarter-mile time of just 14.1 seconds before maxing out at a top speed of 153 MPH. Perhaps the stink of the "Neon" nameplate has kept demand low for the SRT-4 because used turbocharged Neon models can be found for under \$10,000. Point-blank, the Neon SRT-4 is a fast car. ## 29 E39 BMW 540i ### Starting Used Price: \$4,279 ![A parked 2002 BMW 540i](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2002-bmw-540i-bat.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Front and side view of a 2002 BMW 540i Bring a Trailer The [BMW E39 is arguably one of the most underrated versions of the 5 Series](https://www.topspeed.com/peak-bmw-5-series-e39-m5/). On the surface, the BMW 540i is a top-end spec of the 5 Series E39. But inside, it's an M5, even if it wasn't as powerful as that generation's actual M5. There's a lot to like about the 540i's capabilities. It was powered by a 4.4-liter V-8 engine that produced 282 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Moreover, dyno tests have revealed the horsepower figure to be underrated by 19 horsepower, meaning the E39's M62B44 engine makes a bit over 300 horsepower. Versions of this engine, found in newer BMW models, make 330 horsepower so, performance modifications are available if you choose to stick with the factory V-8. ### Pricing For A 2003 E39 BMW 540i \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$4,279 \| \| Good \| \$4,680 \| \| Excellent \| \$4,893 \| \| Mint \| \$5,226 \| If you are lucky enough to find one with a six-speed manual, 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) happens in 5.9 seconds, and the quarter-mile time of around 14.0 seconds at 104 MPH. Like most models, the 540i's top speed was limited to 155 MPH, but ungoverned, the Bavarian sedan can reach 165 MPH. Used versions of the BMW 540i E39 sell for as low as \$6,000, with some of the best-used cars for under \$10,000. If you want an M5 that can be built back up to prominence — and maybe throw in a bigger engine — the 540i E39 is an excellent way to go. ## 28 Lexus LS400 ### Starting Used Price: \$4,612 ![A parked 1996 Lexus LS400](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/1996-lexus-ls400-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Front and side view of a 1996 Lexus LS400 Mecum Throughout the years, the [Lexus LS series](https://www.topspeed.com/lexus/ls/) has been a mainstay for the company. Even though they have always been marketed as a personal full-size luxury sedan, they can get up and go. The second generation Lexus LS400 has a 1 UZ-FE V8 under the hood that can pump out up to 260 horses and has a torque rating of 270 pound-feet. ### Pricing For 1997 Lexus LS400 \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$4,612 \| \| Good \| \$5,033 \| \| Excellent \| \$5,313 \| \| Mint \| \$5,631 \| That equals a 0 to 60 time of just under seven seconds and a quarter mile track time of around 15.2 seconds at 94.3 mph. The top speed of the LS400 is somewhere near 155 mph, but that all depends upon the track conditions. Even though this car is a Lexus, the second generation cars can still be bought for under \$10,000, but the average going price today is close to \$15,000 for a model in good condition.

While its contribution to Ford isn't forgotten, its popularity certainly dwindled, and eventually fell flat before the 2020 model year. That said, there have been numerous model years that have excelled in what it was they were meant to do, from cheap economy car to growling performance sedan. ### Pricing For A 2010 Ford Taurus SHO (KBB) \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$4,999 \| \| Good \| \$7,995 \| \| Excellent \| \$9,767 \| \| Mint \| \$10,900 \| Equipped with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, the 2010 Taurus SHO cranks out 365 horses and 350 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to launch the sedan from 0-60 MPH in 5.2 seconds. The top speed of 133 MPH is a bummer, though it ultimately preserved the lives of many Taurus SHOs, and their drivers. Standard AWD also helps the big sedan retain traction when dipping in and out of corners. ## 26 Jaguar XJR ### Starting Used Price: \$5,011 ![A parked 2000 Jaguar XJR](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2000-jaguar-xjr-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Front and side view of a 2000 Jaguar XJR Mecum The second-generation [Jaguar XJ](https://www.topspeed.com/tag/jaguar-xj/) was in the market for 17 years; to be fair, the XJ X308 wasn't that great of a car. Its faulty engine could set a person back in the red if it conked out at the most inopportune time. It also had a dated look, a product of laziness on Jaguar's part. On the other hand, the design has aged rather well, and the XJR would certainly fit well in today's neo-retro-themed automotive world. ### Pricing For A 2003 Jaguar XJR \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$5,011 \| \| Good \| \$5,655 \| \| Excellent \| \$6,085 \| \| Mint \| \$6,572 \| A car owner probably won't enjoy peak use of that engine due to its age and general wear and tear. But back then, the V-8 could summon 370 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque, allowing a 0-to-60-MPH time of just 5.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Used versions of the XJR X308 are dirt cheap, underscoring the model's myriad of issues when it was in the market. Still, if a buyer wants to take a stab at one and restore it to prominence, buying a used model for as low as \$7,000 is possible. ## 25 BMW 330i ### Starting Used Price: \$5,114 ![A parked 2004 BMW 330i](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2004-bmw-330i-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Front and side view of a 2004 BMW 330i Mecum Until the 2007 model year, the [BMW 3-series](https://www.topspeed.com/bmw/3-series/) was left behind by rivals that had given up on the high displacement V-8s and switched to turbocharged V-6s and inline four-cylinders. For the 2007 model year, BMW finally threw its hat into the pot and used the familiar BMW 3.0-liter V-6 for the standard power plant, but with a turbocharger to kick things off in the right direction. ### Pricing For A 2006 BMW 330i \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$5,114 \| \| Good \| \$5,604 \| \| Excellent \| \$5,933 \| \| Mint \| \$6,235 \| Adding a turbocharger to the engine created a system that pushed out up to 45 more horsepower and 80 pound-feet of torque, for a total of 300 horsepower at 5,800 RPMs and 300 pound-feet of torque at 1,400 RPMs. The torque from the engine was put to the rear drive tires through a 6-speed manual transmission, pushing the car from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 144 MPH (because of a governor that limits top speed.)

The small TT 3.2 Quattro features a 250-horsepower 3.2-liter V-6, which was the most powerful TT at the time, as well as a six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox, and Quattro AWD. The VW-built V-6 allows the small coupe to race from 0-60 MPH in 6.4 seconds. And while not the fastest, the TT is sure to turn heads. ![google news icon large](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/google-news-icon-large.png?q=70&fit=contain&w=420&dpr=1) ##### Google News Follow On [Google News](https://news.google.com/publications/CAAiEAV2EB1IJAm32VnNXOy6U8MqFAgKIhAFdhAdSCQJt9lZzVzsulPD) Add TopSpeed to your Google News feed.

That said, shelling out a little more dough can get you in a better example, which will be rewarding for years to come. The TT generally receives positive reviews from owners regarding its quality, reliability, and performance, with the 2005 model year earning a 4.4 out of 5 consumer rating. ## 23 Infinity G35 Coupe ### Starting Used Price: \$6,674 ![A parked 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2007-infinity-g35-coupe-mecum.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) Front and side view of a 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe Mecum Anything built and designed after the Nissan 350Z will be a fast car, even if it is not marketed as such. The [Infinity G35 Coupe is a car that can scoot](https://www.hotcars.com/infiniti-g35-coupe-reliability-need-to-know/) from a dead stop to 60 within a matter of 5.8 seconds. It can get down the quarter-mile track in under 14 seconds if the conditions are right. The 3.5L V-6 may not be the most powerful of engines, but it can still pump out up to 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. ### Pricing For A 2007 Infinity G35 Coupe \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$6,674 \| \| Good \| \$7,280 \| \| Excellent \| \$7,624 \| \| Mint \| \$8,094 \| The key to making this type of engine fast is weight and performance, which the G35 coupe has, and since it is not one of the most popular sports models on the market, they can be bought for as little as \$10,000 or less if wanting a project car that needs some work. ## 22 Hyundai Genesis Coupe ### Starting Price Used: \$6,950 ![2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec](https://static1.topspeedimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2013-hyundai-genesis-coupe-r-spec.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2) 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec Hyundai [The first proper sports car from South Korea](https://www.topspeed.com/why-hyundai-should-make-one-last-rear-wheel-drive-coupe-before-its-too-late/) came for the 2010 model year and offered a great alternative to the likes of the Infiniti G35, and the V-6-powered Mustang and Camaro models. The best part is, because Hyundai isn’t really known for its exciting performance models, the Genesis can still be had for dirt cheap. Moreover, you can choose between a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a naturally aspirated V-6. Both engines are loosely based on Mitsubishi designs and are fairly robust if taken care of. ### Pricing For A 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$6,950 \| \| Good \| \$12,467 \| \| Excellent \| \$16,467 \| \| Mint \| \$26,999 \| For some reason, many examples are poorly maintained, which often results in rod-bearing failure. The Genesis Coupe boasts a balanced chassis and is one of the most spacious, two-door cars you can buy. Despite the Genesis Coupe being great value for money, the various squeaks and rattles from the interior will remind you that you are still driving a Hyundai. Still, it’s not nearly as bad as 1990s GM quality. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes between 6.9 and 4.8 seconds, depending on how your Genesis Coupe is equipped.

The SC430 is the logical competitor to [the Mercedes SL500](https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/let-chris-harris-tell-you-why-the-mercedes-sl500-r129-is-the-ultimate-cruiser/) (also on the list). Similarly, the SC430 is a two-seater, convertible grand tourer with a torquey V-8, and no particular eagerness to attack a canyon. For a long time, these Japanese luxury coupes were underappreciated, and we have Top Gear (Series 2, Episode 3) to thank for that, as the three former presenters dubbed it “the worst car on sale” in 2003. ### Pricing For A 2001 Lexus SC430 \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Current Condition \| Market Price \| \| Fair \| \$6,999 \| \| Good \| \$9,703 \| \| Excellent \| \$15,692 \| \| Mint \| \$23,000 \| It’s not that the Lexus SC430 is, actually, bad, however. The car is well-built and features one of Toyota’s best V-8 engines ever made – the 3UZ-FE. The five and six-speed, torque-converter automatics are not the quickest systems out there, but both are extremely smooth. Even at 20 years old, the Lexus SC430 shows no major issues.
