I had one in college. It is a great cheap car with tons of aftermarket support and tons of used parts since so many sit in junkyards now. The 95+ (S14) are expensive because of rarity. Stick with a 94 and older to stay under $3000. IMHO the fastback is the best model. Fold the rear seat down and you have a minitruck of sorts for hauling large cargo. Get a late model Nissan 240sx.

Like a 88 Mercedes E320 or something. You can get 500,000 miles on those things. Get one with 2 or 3 hundred thousand and pimp it out on the inside if you want. Bear in mind, Mercedes was not the company it is now. It used to be for the rich ONLY. They have more choices now. So the 1988 Mercedes will have features some dumb Honda or Toyota will not have and its Just as reliable. Better acceleration and nicer looking. A good old Mercedes. they actually last a while too.
