This sounds like a ~$800 car to me.  Not too bad at all, and would be
the way I'd go (and have) for a winter beater.  It's a bit less complex
then the 16v, so upkeep should be less.  It can use smaller rims and tires
so that'll be less expensive also, not to mention that the thinner tires
should be better in the snow.  Sounds like an ok deal to me.
