    GI WTB clean mazda or ford in WI

    I'm thinking about getting a mazda/ford to use as a dd to go back and forth to college every day starting this fall. My parents are going to help me out by partially paying for the car, but in order for them to help, they said the car must: get over 30 mpg. So that rules out first gen dohc cars. But I wouldn't mind a bg 323 or a protege dx. Maybe an escort lx or tracer with the sohc 1.9. It must be reliable for a lot of miles, as I will be putting on around 500 miles a week for two years. So I want something with 100,000 miles or less. It MUST be a stick!!! I'd prefer something with minimal rust, but minor collision damage is ok, as I can easily fix that. And I need it to be here in WI. I don't want to drive all over looking for a car.

    I'm not sure I will be getting a car yet, so this is just a GI thread.

    Thanks
