    I am looking for a used sports car for about 4 or 5k. I don't have much experience buying cars so what should I be looking for. How many miles should a car like this have on it?

    4 or 5k and sports car?
    well Wish you luck in finding one ;) If you can raise it to some ~10k than I would suggest you to get a BMW Z3

    buy Toyota, or Nissan those 2 are best for that money.
    under 150.000km would be nice.

    just check engine for oil leak and bottom of car for rusted level.

    and forget about sport cars :D

    because sport car with that price can't beat my grandmother on marathon.

    Well 4-5k is a low price range for a quality sports car. My car is for sale on ebay right now, but its already been bid over $5k.

    Within the price tag of 4-5k and looking for a quality sports car is really difficult. Have to do a thorough search on ebay!

    I concur, there are a bunch of nice cars for around $5,000 that will get you were you need.
