WTB: Car for $3000

Hellooo i-club,

I'm looking to pick up a beater for around $3000. Throw me anything!

2 door, 4 door, it doesn't matter. As long at it is reliable, as it will be a daily driver.

Prefer a rwd or awd, because i hope to make it a track car after a while, unless it is a truck of course.

Examples:

e36 - Hopefully... which model and year is best? no more 90's bmw's
e30 - Hard to find reliable? I have no background in bmw's. no more 90's bmw's

miata- Would love to find a 94+ but is it comfortable for a 6 foot 200 pound dude?
2.5rs- Never sell for anything below 6k these days.. =[
tacoma - What years are good for these?


Thanks,
Kevin

//Edit: bumped price up to 3k, but won't change in title. Got my financial aid!

I don't have anything to offer, but I'm guessing this is to save some $ at the pump?

My parents are trying to sell a 93 Impreza L for $1500. You can come check it out if you're interested. PM me if you're interested. It's front wheel drive just so you know. And my WRX wheels are on it now haha.

No Hondas, right?
I think you should look for good deals on 2.5RS', my friend bought '95 RS for $1200 in pretty good shape

Prefer to stay away from the civic/crx crowd, not because they have no potential or anything, just like rwd more

If i found a deal like that, I'd be stoked!
