The big thing you gotta take into account for used cars is maintenance cost. Not just how often it needs to be fixed, but how much parts/labor is.

For example, a Lotus Elise can be had for low-20s, but parts is freaking expensive. If you need to replace a headlight, that's like a thousand dollars or some obscene amount. Fun as heck to drive though..
