I have a friend in Minnesota who buys rust-free Metros in California, etc. but I found one up here. It gets too cold for salt. :-) The very most desireable to my mind is the '93 XFI coupe, but they are all real easy to work on, swap parts, etc. The 96 is bigger and heavier; you could put a later engine in if you really want OBD II in the small body.
For years, I got great value from old Toyotas, and thought 3 cylinders were too odd, but now I think they are great. Only one piston stops at a time, instead of four, and they have a growl all their own.
