Default Cheap drift toy ideas?

Something modernish say later than 1995 must be reliable and say under or around a grand ? Was thinking older bmw 3 series ? Any other ideas?

BMW
MX 5
S13
maybe a supra non turbo (although probably not on that budget)
toyota chaser (again, unlikely)

TBH its asking a lot for it to be pretty new and under 1k.

You want my lovely 1998 jewish racing gold e39 520 with 528i engine and manual box featuring starship enterprise mileage for 550 quid.

Il stick an advert on here in a couple of weeks once the forecast rain has washed some of the dirt off it and you can be blown away by its sheer beauty.
