Coupes aren’t as common as they used to be, which means that driving one in 2020 can really make you stand out. If you don’t need to use a back seat very often (or even need one at all) a sporty 2-door car can be a fun way to get around in style while enjoying the drive.
Here are eight great used coupes you can find on Autotrader for less than $15,000 in 2020.
2010-2017 Audi A5
The Audi A5 is a refined German luxury car in a sporty 2-door package. It has an excellent interior that’s aging nicely and it handles as well as you would expect from an Audi coupe. If you want some more punch from the engine, then look for an Audi S5 in this price range and you’ll be treated to a higher-performance version of this excellent coupe. Find an Audi A5 for sale
2011-2014 Cadillac CTS
Most Cadillac CTS models are 4-door sedans, but the second-generation CTS was available as a sporty coupe. The CTS Coupe has a pretty unconventional look, but it’s a sharp design and it still doesn’t look quite like anything else on the road. Other than the CTS-V (which you won’t find in this price range), every CTS coupe is equipped with a brawny V6 engine making more than 300 horsepower and you can even get one with a manual transmission.

2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro returned with a bang when it came back from its hiatus in 2010 and now it can be had pretty affordably on the used market. You can even find early examples of the Camaro SS from this generation in this price range with strong V8 power. It’s also pretty comfortable and makes a good touring car as long as you don’t need a lot of room in the back seat. Find a Chevrolet Camaro for sale
2008-2014 Dodge Challenger
For a muscle car with a back seat you can actually use, check out the Dodge Challenger. The Challenger came back in 2008 and has a strong standard V6 engine and multiple available V8 engines. It’s a big car which means it generally doesn’t handle as well as its American competitors, but it has a bench back seat with much more legroom than similar muscle cars.

2011-2014 Ford Mustang
The post-facelift versions of the S197 generation of the Ford Mustang is in a sweet spot of affordability right now. 2011 ushered in a big update under the hood of the Mustang with a new base V6 and a new Coyote V8 in the GT model, both of which are serious improvements over their predecessors. The Mustang has always been a great performance car bargain on the used market and that’s still true today. Find a Ford Mustang for sale
2013-2017 Honda Accord
If you want a sporty coupe, but also need a practical, front-wheel-drive (FWD) car, the Honda Accord coupe could be ideal. We especially like the V6 variant with the manual transmission, which makes it more muscular than you might have ever expected an Accord to be. Being a Honda, it also gets great safety and reliability scores, making it a well-rounded and underrated coupe. Find a Honda Accord for sale
2009-2018 Nissan 370Z
More than a decade has passed since the introduction of the Nissan 370Z making it hard to make a case to buy a new one, but an excellent reason to buy a used one. You can get an affordable used 370Z that isn’t that different from a new one for a much lower cost. It has a gutsy V6 engine, agile handling and an interesting aesthetic that still looks futuristic today. Find a Nissan 370Z for sale
2014-2016 Scion tC
The Scion tC is another good option for a sporty coupe that doubles as a practical, frugal car. It’s a compact, FWD coupe with a generous list of standard features that include a 6.1-in touchscreen, Bluetooth and a moonroof. It’s surprisingly roomy for a compact with comfortable seating for four and a lot of cargo space. The handling is balanced, the acceleration is lively and the ride quality is smooth, which adds up to a good bargain in used coupes. Find a Scion tC for sale
