WTB: Cheap and reliable DD

Classifieds
1

Pretty much looking for a cheap and reliable DD to replace my beat Z.
Doesn’t really matter what make or model but I’d like it to fulfill the following criteria.

  1. Manual
  2. 30+ mpg
  3. Not a rustbucket (minor rust is ok though)
  4. Reliable and mechanically sound
  5. <$3000

My first choice would be either a crx or a civic hatch but as I said I’m open to anything that fits the criteria.

Thanks
