not sure if they come in manual, but I always liked the Dodge Aries.

I think the Plymouth reliant is more reliable.

5k doesn't get much these days, they'll all need work soon. Put the 5k down on a new base Jetta or Civic.

*Sub-$5k sticker price
*4-speed manual
*Ok on gas compared to modern, large SUVs
*Zero depreciation at this point

The 5L lx was a rear wheel drive and had a convertible option I think. Those were sweet rides and there's some up on Kijiji and more.

actually a good idea
check Nissan and Mitsubishi also as they have 0% or 1% financing.

If you can wrench 5k will get you far. If you have a lot of time it can also be a fast car.

IE turbo 240sx.

Kijiji lets you filter cars by most of those criteria. I would say forget about RWD. Pretty much all manual/RWD are gonna be sports cars that will be in demand. You might find a BMW or two in that bracket, but that's a huge minefield.

miata / MX5

It's possible, but maybe a bit of a stretch.

Not even OK on gas. If they're worried about the resale on a $5K vehicle, those are probably out due to the cost of gas

I found the car for you boss. A 1988 Mazda RX7. Meets all your criteria

I'm not sure if relying on an RX7 as your only form of transportation is a good idea.

But who cares? Imagine how cool you'll look in it when it's running 8 weeks out of the year.
