I'd probably look at Skylines as well as a school boy favourite of mine too. I'd be tempted by an E92 or E60 BMW if I was being a bit more sensible as well. E39 M5 you could probably find a incredibly mint example for that sort of money. E46 M3 does nothing for me any more unless it is a CSL.

-Evo 8 or 9 money
-Impreza STi as well, could get a WR1 for that money (another personal favourite of mine but so is the entire STi range).
-DC5 Type R Integra.
-Jaguar XKR
-BMW Z3-M

Think that's a nice variation of different types of cars. Whatever takes your fancy at the end of the day.

proberbly pick a decent r33gtr up for that money, r34 would be another 5-7k ontop of what you have id say for a nice one

all depends on what use the car is for
