When buying a used car, sometimes it isn’t about getting better gas mileage or saving money. Sometimes you want to buy something classic. According to Jalopnik, there are a number of “classic” cars that can be had for under $10,000.

Among the list is the 1988 Chevrolet Corvette 35th anniversary edition, which the site says can be had for just under $10,000. With only 2,050 produced it makes it a classic and as Jalopnik says, “the epitome of the Eighties.”

Another American made car on the list is the 1983 Chrysler Cordoba, which featured the late Ricardo Montalban in its commercial in the 80s touting its “soft Corinthian leather.” For that reason alone it might be worth shelling out the $9,995.

Topping the website’s “Cool Factor” is the 1988 BMW E28 M5. If you’re wondering why this car made the list Jalopnik says “then the Ultimate Driving Machine is not for you.”

Granted none of these cars are at the level of the 1937 Bugatti which sold for $4.5 million at auction last week or the 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa that is expected to fetch $10 million in May, but they are classics in their own right.
