Well 2 grand isn't a lot of money but I like a good snoop around Car and Classic so let's see what shitters lovely cars I've found. Feel free to just ignore any of these.
First off there's this Volvo 760 auto in Scunthorpe. Looks clean, 100K+ because it stopped counting and I bet it drinks, but it has electric seats, headlamp wipers and it's an old Volvo.

A 1989 BX that's oddly clean but kind of worn for 1800 quid. I really like these, this one is a manual and comes with a free can of Lynx in the rear footwell. Engine was rebuilt 2 years ago and it doesn't look rotten, which is odd.

Here's a Volvo 340 GL, which is... er... definitely a Volvo 340 GL. It's definitely red too.

If you're feeling masochistic you could pay just £995 and get this painted shed of a 1986 Citroen Visa. Probably fine for a couple of weeks if you don't leave it outside or poke it.

There are also a few dodgy looking bread van Polos, a Mk4 Escort 3-door estate that looks like a hearse for very short people and has been to hell and back itself and a lot of other frilly shit that I wouldn't touch with a 100 foot pole.
On Autotrader there's this 205 that looks a bit like a narrow boat and some twat has put decals on the headlights, yours for £1750. It's "totally unique" - yeah no kidding mate. On the plus side it's a G-reg and the plate ends in ALF so the car is immediately called Gandalf (G and ALF).

No cheap car list would be complete without a totally shagged MX-5. This is definitely a rot box in disguise but probably the most fun thing to drive until it dissolves. Yours for a grand and a half.

This Rover is strange for £1990. Complete with wooden steering wheel and authentic timber gear stifter, paired with seat cloth that looks like a hoover bag your nan had and an oddly clean exterior. I would actually really like to see this in the metal. Sold by a company with a name that makes me want to blame @captain_70s . For everything.

Maybe an SLK that totally won't go wrong and cost you a fortune, only £1995

OK last one. You can indeed get a Saab 900 in your budget, and this one is 'immaculate'. Hmm. It's a grand, which seems too little for a car that's made entirely of metal. It's an auto, so maybe that's why it's cheap.

Of course there's a lot of mid-90s hatchback crap on there too but you didn't want to see that.
