If you have a true 18k budget buy the newest car you can. You probably can get a clean 2003 with glass rear window and other updates. Get a thorough PPI done and take your time picking a good example with service records! If your flexible on a color combination a great car is out there in your price range. The car you are speaking of could very easily be a mystery machine that could not only cost a lot of money to make right but a lot of down time and head ache. I made an emotional buy that ended up costing me a lot to correct.
