Default Are these fair prices ?

Ok a few months back I had posted about a M30 drift machine because I wanted something different. I attended DDAY 2 as a spectator and went and bought Drift Bible. I am serious about learning this sport and have thrown my car around a few times but it is FF and doesn't give me the results I desire.

Anyways I live in Pasco, and I have seen a lot of cheapo cars (under $2,000) for sale recently but when I go to inspect them I am turned off because they aren't as shiny and new as I would like. I am started to feel like I should just buy a beater since I will probably tear it up a little myself. After seeing Bill in the Miata and that silver miata at DDay2, I have been favoring those.
Just hoping to get a lil input on these cars that I have seen near me.

1991 240sx coupe (over 200,000 miles, signs of body work, interior stank, common drift machine for good reasons) - $1500
1990 Miata (over 130,000, rust spots, needs tlc) - $2000
1984 Celica GT-S (over 130,000, rust, needs tlc, not a huge aftermarket) - $900
1989 Mighty Max (truck needs 4g63 swap, and tlc) - $800

Anyway just looking for a little help if possible on if these are fair prices or shitty. Or should I look in the $3k range for something better/cleaner.

Bill are you really selling your car. I am trying to talk my parents into letting me get a non running 89 SE. Your car is nice I love it. It seems like there is a trend happining in No Ants. Sell your car and get a better one. Taylor, Bill, Matt, whose next Garage battle.
