what's the most reliable, fun to drive coupe made after 1990 with an easy to learn and use stick shift i can find a GOOD example of for $2000?
miatas are basically beat to shit for anything less than 4k, in the northeast, in winter.
hell I'd even take a hit on reliability if it met the other three criteria
saturn sc1 or sc2 maybe?

welcome to the post cash for clunkers hellscape. Yesteryear's $500 car is today's $2000 car

>good car
Pick one.
You can get a decent set of wheels/tires, a seat, and a steering wheel for 2k and sit in the seat holding the wheel with the wheels around you in a square and make vroom noises

Maybe am E36 if your set on rwd. People will give you shit but if you just want a fun manual coupe a Civic coupe or Prelude are good. Can be had for 2k if you look hard enough.
I would keep an eye out for a Miata, I bet you could find a good one for around 2k if you look a lot and be patient. 300ZX, 240SX and maybe even MR2 as well. Not easy to find for around 2k but I have seen them pop up

those are -sorta- fun to drive and the transmission is -sorta- easy to use
just buy a Civic

e36 could work here but finding one not abused for 2k isn't really possible, but getting one with cooling system issues then dropping $600 and a weekend on a full cooling system refresh could do you well for years

now that i think about it, an e36 318i or 318ti could work here.
They're both slow as balls but it's still an e36, and slow as balls means they probably weren't beat on
Non-2.5RS Impreza coupe?
91-92 turd gen Camaro RS, there's still some with a 305 veeate and a 5 speed

>2000$
good luck with that mayn.
>>14194994
Ford Capri.
Bonus points if you can find a turbo one.
>basically a Mazda 323 with the roof cut off

Not him but I have never seen a 90s Camaro with a manual 5 speed for 2k in better condition than a 2k Miata. In fact, the only manual Turd gens I have seen in good condition were much more than 2k
You could just keep cruising craigslist for Miatas, I'm in new england and I found one for $2500 with 120k miles in great condition, though I saw it literally the day it was posted and had I not snapped it up I'm sure it would've gone to someone else just as quickly.
>>14194994
Fuck I actually had to do a double take at that
>>14195068
yep an e36 318i with a welded diff can be plenty of fun even with its 115hp 4banger
>>14195176
>115
fuck me i keep forgetting how gutless that engine is

These people are retards who have never shopped in the poor price range.
You can get a ton of cool stuff for that much
