I think it depends on how bothered you are by your debt. Does your debt make you feel uncomfortable? Is that feeling sustainable? Do you have plans to buy a house? Are you firmly set on a career path that will get you out of debt without making you miserable? An inexpensive car doesn't need to be a beater. I've had a 1971 Celica ST coupe, '74 Celica GT coupe, a 77' ST coupe, a '77 GT liftback, a '70 Fiat 124 Sport Spider and a '92 MR2. All of them were bone stock and clean, with no rust, and the most expensive of the bunch was WELL within the budget you're talking about. Maintenance and performance upgrades were cheap and fun. They were all smile machines on a budget. Lots of little up-and-coming classics out there to make life interesting until you snag another FR-S. :-)
