What daily would you buy for under $5000?

Everyone has an idea, I'm just curious as to what it would be and why, everyone's situation is different. I'm tossing around the idea of rolling without a car payment for a while. I enjoy driving the Mustang, but I drive it to work and back 90% of the time now. Hardly worth the cost associated with it.

I buy something new to me in the 3-5k range every few months and have a nice older diesel 4x4 I leave at home and use for weekends/ when I need to pull trailers.

I've had great luck with: Mid 00s Silverados, Tahoes,Yukons, Civics, Rangers... Most are higher mileage with a few quirks but good DDs. They are all pretty boring though.

Speaking of that I've got an 04 Yukon 4x4 for sale.

I appreciate it, but I don't think an SUV suits what I need right now. The wife has one, and we have no use for another one.

Hell, even a 2-seater would work, never really considered that. I'm about to turn 45, is it time for a Corvette? Now that I think about it, I've only had someone in the backseat of my car twice since I've owned it and we have no kids or pets. $5k budget

I would pick up a 2000 Silverado RCSB. Or that body style. I didn't like the change to the "angry" headlights. I hastily bought a '13 civic for fuel mileage when my s-10 broke down and have regretted it almost ever since. The payment sucks, and an economy coupe is not very useful in my profession.

I'd buy the best old Lexus I could find for the price. Toyota reliability, usually more interesting or at least well optioned.

This is what makes sense to me as well, I was looking at Acura too for the same reasons. Was there ever any Lexus cars to avoid? Certain years? models?

Well the obvious answer is miata.

Hell the 06-07's go for 6k sometimes and they are fairly reliable and roomy for a 2dr.

The wheels are faggoty, but other than that it looks like a good deal.
