One of the greatest things about the used market is depreciation, particularly when it comes to fast and fun cars. While sports cars like a BMW M5 may have cost a whopping $50,000 brand new, over a decade later, their prices come down significantly, and today, many can be found easily for around $15,000, leaving you with more money for mods and maintenance later.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop NowNow, we've scoured the web to find 10 cars that fit this prompt, with the goal of all of these sports sedans and coupes hitting that price with less than 100,000 miles on the odometer. While that's easier said than done, depending on the car, we think we found 10 great performance options to suit any need, from turbocharged, FWD hatchbacks to AWD luxury sedans. BMW 135i Coupe 2011 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe E82 135i Red Front Angled ViewOur first suggestion on this list is something small, agile, and German, a lovely combination if you're looking for a fun time. The 1 Series was the predecessor to our dearly beloved 2 Series Coupe, and it has most of the same formula down pat. The 135i was the most powerful non-M model before the 135is hit the scene, and it's still a compelling option today.The 2011 model was the first year of the 300-horsepower N55 turbocharged inline-six, mated to expected features like the available six-speed manual and standard sport suspension. It's not going to be for everyone, as it's a bit harsher and jitterier compared to today's offerings, but for the right buyer, it's the perfect avenue into the world of sports coupes.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop Now Ford Mustang GT 2012 2010-2012 Ford Mustang GT Coupe 5th Gen (S-197 II) Facelift Front Top View-1When Ford introduced the S-197 Mustang, it reinvigorated an icon. The SN95 has continuously improved throughout its life, but there's no denying it was missing something, and Ford was ready to right the ship in the mid-2010s with a nostalgic Mustang that would soon have Cars and Coffee spectators running for safety everywhere.Things improved in 2010, when the car's major facelift arrived, elevating the look and feel of the car, and even more so in 2011, when the famed Coyote V8 was first introduced. If you're looking for a muscle car that still has comparable performance to modern ones, this is where you want to start, and plenty of 2012 Mustangs can be found for under $15,000, leaving you tons of room for mods.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop Now Chevrolet Camaro SS 2012 2010-2013 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe SS Red Front AngleNot a Ford person? Don't worry, you can always search for a well-sorted Camaro SS of the same era, and enjoy the improved performance of a Chevy small block V8. This was still a time when the small block was elite and could do no wrong, and here it made 426 horsepower at a time when that was still something to be hugely proud of.Sure, the car offered a cramped interior and poor visibility, like all Camaros of the 21st century, but it came alive on a back road and offered more performance and style than most of its contemporaries. If you want something fast, affordable, and attractive, it's hard to beat its value. Acura TL SH‑AWD V6 Manual 2013 2012-2014 Acura TL Front Angle ViewHere's something rare, unique, and pretty darn cool. Back in the early 2010s, Acura made the incredible decision to package a fully-loaded TL with SH-AWD, a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V6, and a 6-speed manual. This wasn't just any old manual, either, as it came from its parent company, Honda, so it was sublime in every way that mattered.Combined with the torque-vectoring AWD system and potent V6 engine, it proved to be a highly competent sports sedan, one that gave many German and American contemporaries a run for their money. While it's incredibly rare today, you can still find them popping up here and there for sale, but you may have to sacrifice lower miles for the privilege.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop Now Buick Regal GS 2014 2012 Buick Regal GS Manual Red Front Angle Driving front 3/4The Regal GS might be the biggest sleeper on this list, because no one is expecting a Buick to pack this much bite. Back when the brand still cared about enthusiasts, it concocted the GS as a way of reaching into its roots and pleasing the more mature tuner crowd. With an attractive, compact body and large alloy wheels, it was rather respectable looking, but the massive lower front vents and large Brembo brakes let you know it meant business.259 horsepower was on tap, with the option of FWD or AWD, and a six-speed auto or manual transmission. Picking the manual stuck you with FWD, and honestly, it wasn't very good, so if you're looking to pick one of these up, we say go with the auto and then determine if you want torque steer or superior traction.. Volkswagen GTI (MK7) 2015 2010-2014 Volkswagen GTI 6th Gen (5K) Front Angle ViewIt's hard to appreciate just how big of a deal the Mk7 Volkswagen GTI was when it hit the scene, but there's a reason so many are still on the roads today and filling up your local car meet. The VW GTI was just about the perfect sporty daily driver - completely usable in traffic, fuel-efficient, but wonderfully agile and well-powered when you needed it to be.It's still all of these things today, even if the technology and looks are a tad dated. Honestly, in terms of value, this may be the best car on this list, because we think you'll love it just as much now as every reviewer and owner did back then.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop Now Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2015 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe front, three-quarterOne of the more obscure options from the last decade was the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, a South Korean muscle car from the era before Genesis spun off into its own thing. The car frequently flew under the radar due to its uncompetitive pricing and lack of V8 performance, but today it offers a compelling avenue into something sporty with one of the most potent naturally aspirated V6s in recent years.While the manual is enticing, this is also another scenario where the automatic may be the better option, as the 6-speed isn't as satisfying as it should be. There's a lot to like about this car, so we say be different and grab one of these sports coupes before they start getting rare.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop Now Honda Accord V6 Coupe 2015 2015 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe V6 side 3/4 parkedAnyone who knows a thing or two about Honda will know that this isn't some throwaway option, but a genuine sleeper that should be on your radar if you value comfort and engagement. Think of the Accord Coupe as the modern Honda Prelude, because that's essentially what it was.However, this time around it featured a composed chassis and a potent naturally aspirated V6 married to either a six-speed auto or manual transmission. While the car lacked any real flair, it proved to be a willing dance partner, soaking up bumps and rarely becoming unsettled despite all the weight over the front axle. We now have a real Prelude on the way, but it will lack the analog feel of this car, especially for less than $15,000. Ford Fiesta ST 2016 2017 Ford Fiesta ST Orange Front Angle DrivingA hot hatch, practically by definition, is supposed to be small, agile, high-revving, and engaging. The Ford Fiesta ST checked all of these boxes with ease, and it was affordable and underrated at the same time. 197 horsepower may not seem like a lot of power, but in something this small, it was more than enough, and the perfectly balanced chassis made throwing it into a curve a breeze.What it lacked in luxury or comfort, it made up for in smoky straight-line thrills, tire squeals, and more smiles than you could have ever expected. It may seem a bit basic these days, but there's a reason so many people love them, and you can find out if you give one a try.Find [[default_name]] and more cars for sale on our MarketplaceShop Now Ford Fusion Sport 2017 2017 Ford Fusion Sport Red Front Angle 3/4One last obscure model rounds out this list, and it's one of our favorites of the last 10 years. For just a few short years in the late 2010s, Ford decided to offer a new halo Fusion Sport, with AWD, adaptive dampers, and its 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 under the hood, giving 325 horsepower and a whopping 380 lb-ft of torque.This propelled this family-hauling sedan to 60 mph in just over five seconds, rivaling many premium sports sedans of the time, and giving Ford some bragging rights. While it isn't going to handle as well as most other options on this list, we think it'd make the perfect car for someone who wants calm, understated performance on tap for just the right moment.
