1500 is gonna get you one sorry jetta. especially around here. probably floor rot, fender rot, and a beat down 8v. unless you just happen to come across grandmas car thats been in a garage all its life.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record… I’d highly recommend a B13 body style Sentra SE-R even if it’s not on your list.

Reasons are that the engine is pretty reliable, used parts are plentiful, and it’s decently quick and can handle somewhat.

The only major downsides to the car are the well documented fifth gear popout on some old high mileage cars (easy to check for in a test drive), and of course rust in the door jambs / floor boards on NE cars.

Again, something you can check for easily. This shouldn’t be an issue, most $1500 cars will probably have some rust.

For $1500 you can find an SE-R that may need very minor work or not much at all. I check [sr20forum.com](http://sr20forum.com) all the time and the classifieds have quite a few sub $1500 cars that aren’t trash. Lots of cars in the Northeast too.

Just a suggestion.
