Best car for 10k?

As the title says, what is the best car you can get for 10k?

Used, new, auto or manual. I know it's quite broad, but just want to get an idea of whats out there for that budget.

2010/2011

There is one on autotrader now for around £9000 which is a 3.5 Litre 2011 I just checked

You could also get a CLC/C Class and these probably would be newer

I wouldn't get an M3 because although it is a great car, I am told the insurance is through the roof (but you may want to check that)
BMW 7 series, Vauxhall Manaro, Volvo S60R, merc s class, bmw e39 M5, BMW M3, the list is endless, my advice would be spend 5k on something special and spend the rest on insurance and maintenance.

Only a 2.0 lol you could get a mid 2000's 5.0 V8 with low mileage for 10k

I did say there was also a 3.5

Yeah you could depends on whether you want an old one or not.

Plus most people won't be racing so having a car that inefficient is usually useless, not to mention the increased insurance and road tax
Clio V6.
Would have to look around for one for 10k but I'm sure there is some.
