Any Ideas for a car??

Wassup people,

I've been thinking about getting a cheap car for a while now, but I'm absolutely stumped on what to get. I used to have a pretty nice 94 civic, but it got into a bad accident. I've grown tired of walking and taking the train.

I know for sure that I want my next car to be manual transmission. 4 or 6 cylinder doesn't really matter to me, but no higher. I figure eventually modding it up a bit would be quite nice. My budget is only 3.5k.

You guys have any ideas?

or a 4g maxima.

You can get a decent Acura Legend with about 150k miles for that price.

If you look hard you can find well-maintained cars that are simply old but still would make good DDs.

out of all of these
Ae86 you would like the most because its rare and a hatch. I actually know someone who has one.
