that first gen mr2 would be a great choice, over here i can pick one up for about 800$ that has maybe some small damage, but with a strong engine, this is a pretty good car, lightweight and everything, miata is also graet, i think of the two, go for a miata, but there are also other choices, the first gen rx7, 2nd gen rx7, and some older toyota supras could work out pretty well too.
