Find me a car! $7k max?

I rock the escort over 90% of my driving, it's reliable and gets over 30+ mpg auto. A whopping 140hp at the crank, but it's actually not bad. You can get a nice one for around $3k, and probably sell it for close to that once you decide to step up to an Evo. The best part is we have probably spend less than $500 in maintenance over the past couple years, and there is zero chance to mod it, just a solid DD. Just my .02c.
