You should be able to get a cherry car for that money. Like all the other people have said, try going 1990 and newer. If you can, get a turbo, a little more maintanance, but more performance too. I like the 740 myself, but watch out for the 16valve motor. Its pretty durable, but if you don't change the belts religiously, it can bend the valves up. Mainly, 240, 740 and 940 all have their querks. Replacing the heater on a 240 is a b*tch, and the fusebox design isn't all that good either.
However, they all have that bullet proof B230 engine.
