Best Car for little money challenge

[Steve]

So for a bit of fun it would be great to see what we can buy out there for very little money. There are a lot of cars out there that are going for peanuts and there are some real cool performers too. So here is the challenge, what could you buy from http://www.carpoint.com.au (or any other classifieds) for 3000 AU Dollars or less? The winner will be based on performance and price. It can be any brand too!

Post your answers and even a link if you can. Remember it has to be under 3k.

1992 Nissan Pulsar s14

The paint Job may be a bit rough, but its $3000, it has an sr20 engine, and with work done to it, can go fairly good. Seems to have 100xxx kms which is fairly low for an old car, has 18" Rims and appears to be lowered. Has a sound system, definately not the top of the range, but decent. Weighs approx 1.1 Tonnes. The interior of the car seems to be taken care of. Neat little car with plenty of room.

Some photos from car point.
