I think what Frank is getting at is that you seem to be set on buying a Metro/Swift now, but there are a lot of cars out there that might be a good car for less money. If you limit yourself to just one model, you'll likely pass up good deals on other cars.
I've been considering a cheap beater (spousal approval for another car is sketchy, so I'm not too serious yet) with a manual and have found a wide range of '96+ cars under $1200 that would work fine. Kia Sephia, Dodge Neon, Chevy Cavalier, Hyundai Accent and Elantra, Ford Escort all show up regularly in this price range, with the occassional VW Jetta or Civic. The '96+ Metro/Swift rarely seems to show up in my seach, most are priced higher and if I only looked for Metros I'd have to pay more.
My price range is lower, but I'm more willing to tolerate flaws than most. That and location may affect your search results.
