Sticking with their 90s theme apparently...

1. Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 (C4)
Today, they're shockingly cheap with tons of examples under $30,000 and some under $20,000. To be fair, that's C5 Corvette money, but the ZR-1 still makes a strong case for itself.

2. Toyota MR2 Turbo
...but closed eBay listings indicate they're still available for under $10,000.

3. Aston Martin DB7
Shockingly, you can get an Aston Martin DB7 for well under $40,000 if you look hard enough.

4. Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo
You can one in fantastic shape for around $20,000, and there are plenty of decent examples that cost less.

5. Chevrolet Corvette (C5)
For around $15,000 or less, you can get your hands on a C5 Corvette, which is an incredible value.

6. Lotus Esprit

Esprit prices have stayed in the $20,000 to $30,000 range, but budget a lot for maintenance.

7. Porsche 968

In general, 968s aren't all that plentiful, but at the time of writing, there's a handful around $20,000 listed on eBay.

8. Mercedes-Benz SL600
V12-powered Mercedes-Benzes are incredibly expensive when new, but you can get a 1990s SL600 for well under $20,000 now.

9. BMW M3 (E36)
The first-generation M3, the E30, has risen in price dramatically over the last three or so years, but its successor, the E36, is still somewhat of a bargain.

10. Dodge Viper
...but look hard enough and you can probably pick up a mid-1990s roadster in the $30,000 range. Hell. We've even seen them for $10,000, though don't expect greatness at that price.

11. Porsche Boxster (986)
It's possible to find a good one for under $10,000, which seems like a steal.

12. Mitsubishi 3000GT
Even the top-of-the-line all-wheel drive 3000GT VR4 can be found under $15,000.
