you can probably get a first gen neon with that money and have a grand leftover to boot

the only problem with finding something like that from a dealership is PRICE/YEAR. By that I mean most LARGER dealerships will not keep vehicles older than 1999 due to the fact that they're harder to attain financing for. And because of that, it'll be hard to find something of that year around that price unless its something in very bad shape. Now with saying that, you can find older vehicles at USED CAR LOTS. Only thing with those is that you have to be very careful and thorough if purchasing from them. Ask to do an independant mechanical inspection and all of the vehicles history. Your best bet (in my opinion) is through friends or family. Just make sure to let whomever is selling the vehicle to you that if anything goes wrong "I'LL BE BACK!!! Hope that helps and good luck with the car search
