This, but I'll modify (because of your budget) to a Solstice GXP Coupe 5spd.

Very limited production (1152 made in 2009 and a 114 in 2010. That is total Solstice Coupe production (1260) and only 850 were GXP's with the 260HP 2.0L turbo.

We bought our daughter an '09 Brazen Orange Coupe for her 50th birthday last February. It's a base coupe with the 177HP base motor.

The nice thing with this for her is if it needs work, any good independent repair shop or any GM dealer can work on it.

With your budget, you can look for a super clean, very low mileage car.

Or simply spend less and enjoy.
