Iron Cheetah Export (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/merkava4/images/merkava4_1.jpg)
Crew: 4 + 4
Combat Weight: 60,000 kg
Max Speed: 72 km/h
Max Range: 550 km
Armament: 1x120mm smoothbore, 1x12.7mm AAMG, 1x7.62mm AAMG, 1x7.62mm CMG
The reduced export version of the Iron Cheetah. It retains the electronics suite and most of the other advanced systems, but its gun and armor are only those of the M1A2. On the other hand, a lot of weight was saved in downgrading the vehicle, and it’s speed was correspondingly increased.
Cost: $4.6 million

Sabra MBT (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/sabra/images/sabra2.jpg)
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 55 tons
Max Speed: 48 kmh
Max Range: 450 km
Armament: 1x120mm, 3x7.62mm, 1x60mm mortar
A massively upgraded M60 Patton MBT. This boasts a 120mm gun designed for smaller turrets, which has similar recoil to 105mm weapons, as well as upgraded armor, suspension, and the addition of a 60mm mortar.
Cost: $2.2 million (new), $1.75 million (M60 upgrade)

M60-2000 MBT (http://www.mainbattletanks.czweb.org/Tanky/m602000.jpg)
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 55 tons
Max Speed: 48 km/h
Max Range: 550 km
Armament: 1x120mm, 2x7.62mm, 1x12.7mm
Another upgraded version of the M60, this one boasting the complete turret of an M1A1 Abrams, as well as modern armor and suspension that bring it up to the M1A1 in almost every category but speed, but for only half the price.
Cost: $2.3 million (new), $1.9 million (M60 Upgrade)

M60 MBT (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/m60/images/m60_tank4.jpg)
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 52,617 kg
Max Speed: 48.28 km/h
Max Range: 480 km
Armament: 1x105mm, 1x7.62mm CMG, 1x7.62mm AAMG
This is an old, Vietnam-era tank. In addition to the less advanced fire control and communications gear, it lacks the composite armor of most modern tanks, and is thus much more vulnerable to HEAT projectiles. However, it has only a fraction of the cost of newer models, and the 105mm gun (a variant of the exceptional British 105mm L7) gives it decent firepower. The vehicle is also quite easily upgraded, which makes it good for armies that are just starting out.
Cost: $500,000 (new), $300,000 (used)

M48A5 MBT (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/images/m48a5-1.gif)
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 49,987 kg
Max Speed: 48.2 km,h
Max Range: 498 km
Armament: 1x105mm, 3x7.62mm MG
This is an upgraded version of the old Korean War-era M48, giving it the armament and fire control of the later M60. Though not as advanced as the M60, it's even cheaper, and still has room for improvements.
Cost: $450,000 (new), $200,000 (used)

The Dominion of Kotterdam offers the following vehicle for military use. The MBT-3 Werewolf was, until recently our primary Main Battle Tank. It has since been replaced with the MBT-3A1 and -3A2. Both these tanks, however, are somewhat out of your price range. The MBT-3, you will see, is less than your asking price of $5 Million. This means that, if you wish, we can upgrade the main gun from a L55 120mm smoothbore gun to a 130mm Advanced Solid Propelant Weapon System, or ASP-WS gun to improve the vehicle's capability.

Notes
Concerned that their new IFV outstripped the capabilities of their primary MBT, the DKA put out a requirement for a replacement for the Merkava MkV MBT already in service. Using lessons learned from that tank, the Kotterdam Motor Company designed the MBT-3 Werewolf. Carrying many similar componants to the other tank, the MBT-3 nonetheless incorporates a number of innovations. Prime amongst these is the commander's weapon.

Where earlier tanks utilized manually-fired heavy machine guns, the MBT-3 makes use of a 25mm cannon in a teleoperated mini-turret with over seven hundred rounds. Manual controls were considered, but due to the design of the tank itself, any hit that disabled the cannon's controls would likely render the weapon itself inoperative. Standard 7.62mm machine guns were retained for the coaxial and skate mounts, however, and a 60mm Semi-Automatic Mortar is included as an indirect-fire weapon.

Although entirely manual controls are included, primary fire control for the main gun is routed through a sophisticated targeting computer, allowing the gunner to, among other things, designate up to three targets within a ninety-degree field of vision from one another, select the appropriate ammunition type, and engage them all on the move at the main gun's cyclic rate.

10 Sabra MBTs new and with upgrade
money wired upon confirmation
hmm. I should restate that. The upgrade is taking an existing M60 you already have and turning it into the Sabra, so you probably don't want that.
Total for 10 Sabras is $22 million
ETA for the delivery is 1 NS month

My cheapest tanks are 15 million, so I dont think that will help you much.

BTW, mine are so expensive because they shoot plasma cannons, they run off of plasma engines that propell them up to 150 mph, on flat ground, 75 on an average sloped hill. And take about 1 gallon of plasma fuel to go about 250 miles(they have 20 gallon standard plasma fuel tanks.

If you want more info then pm Great EAgth
