Is this the best cheap DD?

>prices range between $1k - $3k for the cleanest ones and parts cars can be had even cheaper
>5 speed and auto options
>over 200 horsepower and torque
>4 doors and huge trunk
>mpg in the mid to high 20s
>cheap parts because 90s and american
>can be a nice sleeper
>inconspicuous

Is there anything that's as good of a balance between cheap, fun, and practical while retaining some semblance of reliability? Literally the only downside I can see is that it's fwd (but we're talking DD not track car) and that aftermarket parts aren't cheap.

Whats the best way to learn to drive a manual /o/?

Ive been daily driving my auto for 2 years now, even took long road trips and consider myself a good aggressive driver in the city but today my dad bought a standard car and I tried using it and holy shit it was hard as fuck

Everytime i shifted gears the car jerked and one time i stoped just before a ramp and when i tried to go i literally stalled like 10 times

tomorrow my dad works and i have to take the car to a tire shop for new tires thats like 20min away from my house and im getting really nervous just like when i first started driving

If someone on here can find me a Mercedes Benz W123 300TD somewhere in New England or on the East Coast, I'll give you a finders fee of $30 bucks (via paypal) or order you a pizza or something.

here are the rules
>it cant be a rusted piece of shit. (most of em are)
>has to be under $5500
>has to have a 4 speed manual transmission (most of em are automatic)
>It must run (most of em do run bc they are literal tanks)


Also while I prefer the ones made after 1981 because they came with turbos, Im open to earlier ones

another rule.
it cant be this piece of shit.

I bought a used 370z and its quite a fun ride. But I have been feeling a bit underwhelmed by a few factors, mainly the exhaust only sounds bad ass when down shifting, not speeding up.
