Ford Probe
4th gen Slowstang
Barely working MR2
Saturn Ion

BaSically, anything from late 80s toearly 90s. It was common for most base models to feature a manual transmission at that point because automatics still sucked. You'd probably be best off saving more money and looking for something newer since all of those cars will have potentially expensive issues.

80's celica, rwd, 2.4L 22r engine. Hmmmmmm

>>16360301
Get a late 90s Saturn sl1. Only get the manual, auto was terrible. I drive a '99 as my beater and still pull down 39mpg on my 20min commute.

The body panels stay looking good and the seat fits my ass just right.

>>16360544
oh god 90's/early 2000s Saturn automatics were some of the worst I've ever driven

As much as everyone loves it, the 22R is not a great engine.
You'll need to replace the timing chain right away, along with the timing chain guides and the timing cover.
Unless it's a 22R-E the carb is going to be a B I T C H to work with.

First off, where ya from?

I know a guy selling a Mazda 626 for 500 OP

>>16360301
You can get 3rd gen (rwd) celica or a fourth gen (fwd) for about 1k depending on condition. This is manual, of course.

Paseo can be found for a similar price. Has a lil bit better suspension than the tercel.

>>16361506
And the DOHC 5E-FE engine, rather than the 12 valve 3E-E

Well, Toyotas in general have good support here in Estados Unidos, both aftermarket and dealer.

Want to put a Weber carb on? Not a problem.
Want to do a dual-row timing chain conversion? Shipped to your door!
Want to keep the single-row chain but upgrade to steel guides? You should do that. No, seriously, it's the achilles heel of the 22R.

They're basically Japanese Chevy. You can find parts down at the local Circle K.

Volvo 850, or if you want something RWD and a little more boxy, then the Volvo 960.

Could get a lowish mileage 2nd gen ranger with 4cyl/5spd/2WD

Fun truck.
