Go Fast on a Budget: 20 of the Best Cars with 300 HP or More for Under $10K

17. Mercedes CLS 550

This gorgeous four-door coupe was one of the most radical Mercedes sedans they ever built. It captivated the public’s imagination with elegant styling, a luxurious interior, and powerful engines. For example, the 2008 CLS 550 came with a V8 engine and 382 HP that provided a sports car-like performance.

The base price for this car was close to $70,000 just 10 years ago. But now you can find them for less than $10,000 due to the magic of depreciation and its notoriously expensive maintenance.
