Mythical cars at a good price
Although not everyone can invest up to 10,000 euros in a car with several decades behind them, there is the possibility of getting another unit of the following models that it is in worse condition to repair and revalue it much more in a short time and with little work. Several of these cars have simple mechanics and a multitude of spare parts that are easy to access.
It goes without saying that the better condition the units for sale present, the more money they will ask for them. However, we insist that many of the models that we present below have units available in very good condition that still do not exceed 10,000 euros. It’s a matter of looking for several ways and arming yourself with patience, seeing as many units as possible so as not to rush into the decision… yes, be careful not to rest on your laurels because the bubbles can continue to grow.
Citroën 2 CV, simplicity made car
7 photos
If we talk about mythical cars, we cannot leave out the Citroën 2 CV. Of course, concepts such as benefits, comfort or sportsmanship do not fit here; what you buy when you take a 2 CV is history. Suffice it to say that it was in production for more than four decades and served to a large extent to mobilize a France damaged by World War II as the iconic 600 did in Spain during the postwar period and the Franco regime. A very simple two-cylinder boxer engine and some formidable suspensions with long arms were its great assets. In addition, the independent platform makes it possible for you to see the 2 CV practically as you like (convertible, coupe, limousine…) Its price in our country starts from about 3,000 euros to 7,000 or 8,000 euros for already much more well-cared units.

Land Rover Santana, the Spanish Defender
7 photos
Based on the fact that the original Defenders are becoming more and more impossible, the Santana factory in Jaén (cradle of other myths such as the Suzuki Samurai or the first-generation Vitara) began its journey in the automotive industry by manufacturing this pure SUV that was officially licensed by Land Rover. Its production lasted from the late 50s to the mid-90s, which is why there are so many different variants and generations. If you are not infatuated with an impeccable Series I like the one in the photo and you accept a Series III in good condition or a much more battered Series I, you can take units home to put your hands on and become the owner of a true 4×4 icon. . Price? There is everything… From the 3,500 to the 10,000 that we set as the top.

SEAT 1430, “one engine to rule them all”
7 photos
The mythical 1430, which in principle was born as a derivative of the Fiat 124 and which finally ended up in practice as a model recognized by the public as independent, debuted a 1,430 cc engine that served to motorize a large part of the SEAT catalog at that time. Undoubtedly, the most interesting versions of the 1430 are the so-called FU, for performance and sportiness, but they are also the most coveted and expensive… First and second series in more modest versions you can find units for 6,000 or 7,000 euros; from there up.

Mazda MX-5, the king of enjoyment
7 photos
He mythical Miata stays true to his original concept of roadster light and fun rear-wheel drive. Although the first generation (NA) lives in a permanent bubble, the model that followed it at the end of the 90s and which only represented a slight aesthetic evolution (NB) is quite within range with units below 10,000 euros. Its 1.8 of 140 CV associated with a five-speed manual gearbox will delight anyone who drives in the open air… There is also a version with an automatic transmission, but it is light years away from offering the sensations that the most popular one offers us.

Porsche Cayenne I, the life saver

The first generation of the Cayenne does not stop gaining value and, without a doubt, it will be a future classic sooner rather than later. We are talking about the ‘911’ made SUV in the early 2000s, a model that gave Porsche oxygen throughout the global market thanks to sales that began to skyrocket. The S version with V8 engine and 340 or 385 CV, depending on the vintage, it is one that you can still take home today for around 10,000 euros… but be careful, hurry up because it goes up like foam.
