2004 Mazda Mazda3 manual with 159,000 miles near me for $900

I wish that I could pursue the Insight, but I am not traversing the state for a nonrunning car. I guess the tow yard sold the Maxima. They now have a high mileage autotragic Sentra in rough shape, but this interests me:

Ah lame. Google said that it got 35 MPG, but when I used FuelEconomy.gov to compare it with the 2007 Fit that is still for sale (for $2,000) it said the 3 only gets 24/32, but showed the sedan. I cannot specify the hatchback, so I started looking around.

I do not know why Google says 35 MPG. The 2.0 sedan with a manual gets 23/32. The hatchback only came with the 2.3 and is rated 22/29.

How much gas can I buy for $1,100? It also has 63,000 fewer miles.

I got this vehicle for $3,200 last year and thoughout this past year, it's just been parked for about 5 months because I lost the key. But I got another one made about 3 months ago. It runs good but does need work in some areas.
For instance the front bumper was loose when I bought it, it's got a couple dents and little scratches, needs a whole new rear window (the glass shattered when I slammed it shut after a cold night) and the interior is decent but not great.
It's standard, NOT automatic. Needs a new tire, and a few minor things under the engine, i.e an oil change and possibly a new air filter? Aside from ALL of that. Lol It runs good and has gotten me and my 2 kids up and down the mountain without a problem. It's got a clean title in my name and with my clean driving record, I was only paying $45 for insurance on it. It's good on gas and would make a great project car for someone who has the knowledge, time and patience.
My version: "I bought this car last year. It runs well, but needs some work. It needs a new tire, an oil change, and possibly a new air filter. The bumper is loose, it has some dents and small scratches, the back window shattered, and the interior needs some work. Nonetheless, it has been reliable, cheap-to-own, good on gas, and would make a great project car for someone who has the knowledge, time, and patience."
