I can't say much. A year and a half ago I spent almost $3000 replacing the engine in my 2000 Ford Ranger. My justification was that the rest of the truck was in great shape, and I couldn't get a better vehicle for $3000.
I've put about 25k miles on it since then, and put a few hundred more dollars into repairs, but those are mostly maintenance items.

At that price range, you're pretty much fucked whichever way you go.
There's a thriving cottage industry down here of people (usually Vietnamese) buying up cheap, nearly dead cars and "fixing them up" for a huge profit on Craigslist, etc. They'll lie to your face about the history of the car. If you don't check the VIN on Carfax or elsewhere or have a mechanic inspect it, you will definitely get ripped off.

I've got more than a decade on her, and only have my beginnner's.Wow, my eldest step daughter moved?
You should see the fine used POS's that she and her hubby finance to purchase from those small lots. The cars usually die before being paid off.
Oh, she finally got a driver's license yesterday at the age of 32.
