Commonly found around 3k. You could get a small loan and pay for it. Just another thought

On my way to work everyday I pass a big KIA billboard for Johnsons Kia. They advertise a 300k/10 year warranty, life time oil changes and tires and service tows.
Id buy a cheap POS kia just for that fact myself.
Why not conisder a 4 banger truck and get a tow dolly incase the SVO breaks down.

I thought about the truck thing, but I'd rather have something that gets better gas mileage. I'm crossing my fingers that this raise coming up in March will give me enough extra income to handle payments on like a 2-3 year old 4-door something (pretty impressed with the Lancer and the Elantra) for around $8-10k. Figure those are pretty reliable, and I'd rather buy used than new with those sorts of cars.

more rare than the sedans.. but not as rare as the 5 speeds..
the swap to 5 speed s easy though... the autos have a stronger built tranny than normal legacys.. but with only 165 HP you can go with just about any legacy AWD tranny temporarily if anything happens.. or swap in ant 5 speed from a 2.5RS or a legacy (long as its AWD) and your set.. parts are cheap too... most of the main parts are the same fro the non turbo legacys.. of which there were alot of..
legacycentral.org has alot of good info.

Buy a driver, not another potential hole in the wallet. That scooby looks cool and all, but as John stated you need a driver. Something simple and not overly complex. A car you see tons of in a junkyard preferably (no, not another Mustang). G20, Altima, Civic, Accord, Camry or something. Basically, a car built to survive for millions of miles of neglect by folks who don't maintain them.
