Best car under $15k that will put a smile on your face
Nowadays, the used car market is booming as MSRP’s for new cars are on the steady rise. This makes it harder to obtain fun and exciting cars for those on a budget. Luckily there is a solution: the 2014 BMW 2 series.
I was shocked when I found an example of this for under 15k. These are some of the best cars BMW has ever produced. It comes stock with a surprisingly powerful turbocharged 2.0L I4 that produces 240 horsepower, and 255lb-ft. of torque according to Edmunds.com. This paired with its rear-wheel-drive platform and surprisingly light 3,300lb weight, means that it is capable of some nice skids and drifts. It also boasts an insane 5 second 0-60 time, which is on par with some of the finest of Ferrari’s like the ‘89 Testarossa (0-60@5.0sec), and the 90’ 348 TB (0-60@5.8sec) according to zeroto60times.com. It is also great value as BMW’s are historically known to depreciate very quickly, which is especially the case for this example of the 14’ M2 which is priced at $14 799 on autotrader.ca, which is a great drop from its MSRP of $33 225 for the base model in 2014, plus the $3 000 M-sport package which is included in this example. In conclusion, the 2 series is a surprise entry on this list as I expected this car to be much more expensive. It is a great car with great tuning potential, and its value for its price tag makes it a perfect option for those looking for a cheap, fun and good looking car.
