3. Jaguar XJR
If you are, like us, a sucker for everlasting Jaguar XJR`s style and looks, you will be pleased to know that you can pick one of those beautiful but problematic machines for under $10,000. Introduced in 1998 and discontinued in 2002, this generation of Jaguar XJR featured a supercharged version of their venerable 4.0-liter V8 engine, powering rear wheels through an automatic transmission and delivering 375 hp.
The sleek and sexy Jaguar XJR could accelerate to 60 mph in just 5 seconds and top speed was electronically limited to 155 mph. Of course, if you remove the limiter, you could reach almost 170 mph. Despite the looks, luxury appointments, driving dynamics and sheer power of a blown 4.0-liter V8, the XJR was problematic and not the most reliable car in the world. Maintenance could be expensive so keep that in mind before you go looking for this gorgeous sedan.
