The /r/cars Under $5K USD Challenge

All cars under $5000.

Source: Facebook Marketplace


On Sundays, /r/cars has a challenge: find obscure cars in your area on the usual suspect classified sites, for under $5000. So today, I've compiled a list of strange, obscure, and in some cases, good cars for under $5K.

If you know a make/model I should be looking for to win this challenge, let me know on Reddit (/u/CollectorCarFeed) or on Discord.
