What car would you buy under 10k?

Upon further consideration, I change my truck choice. Kaiser M35A2C with the whistler turbo, add some Goodyear XML tires, let me figure out what to spend the rest on, probably spare parts.

I could get one hell of a paint job and interior refurb done for the other $6700.

So... where was this $10k coming from?

Where are you seeing either of those cars for less than $10k?

I have seen them in the 12-13K range, which is doable if you are looking at 10K

I didn't narrow the list down for me BUT I like your list just fine although the Jag scares me a little due to possible maintenance/repair $$.
