$4,000 USD, I suppose??? 
Starlets are sought after for their rally car conversions, so that might be out at that price point.
At that price point, you're looking at last century... good luck

we were looking back at Xmas and found some good ones parked outside car mechanic workshops, always friendly guys and the cars were tidy and well maintained. Maybe worth just driving around some neighbourhoods and looking ... good luck.

Hi everyone,
Just to update you on my car situation. I brought one yesterday, its a 1999 Suzuki Alto in almost perfect condition. 2 previous lady owners/drivers and imacculate. The lady that had it was leaving the island and had a great heart and didnt really want anything for it, but I gave her $3500Bds. So never say never about getting a car for within your budget, i didnt think it would happen and it did
and ill treat it just as good as she did.
Thank you everyone for all your tips!
