G20 is something else I found today...looks like I could almost find one of the newer body styles (2000+?) for that budget. Easily an older one.

I'll look around for SL1 or 2, but I've heard horror stories on maintenance.

6k for a mini? Wife might actually like that idea too...and I could stretch a bit for something fun.... hmmm....
Maybe scratch the Mini - I did a quick search on cars.com, but it turns out the one that was selling for $5800 is damaged. (Unless you wanted to fix it.) I think the KBB price is more like around $7k or 8k for an '02. (There was also one that had like 150k miles.)

Think it'd be possible for you to wait until next year, when you have been able to save more cash? I've never really been happy with a car I spent less than ~$5,000 on.
