~ Try to leverage the $1500 you have with:
~ ~ A trade-in vehicle
~ ~ Cash in your savings bonds
~ ~ Sell jewlery/items not being used on Ebay
~ Bring a good mechanic with you... one who can check out the prospective vehicle before they brainwash you into thinking your buying a Lamborghini

If you can find it, a Geo Metro. Those things are amazing! My bf regularly pounds the living daylights out of the poor little car and it keeps going and going. The only issues it has are just regular wear items that will wear out on any car!
They are great. If you get a manual transmission. they have decent power, and can keep up in highway traffic. I was following him once and had to double check my speedometer as it said 90mph!
He has a convertible and a hatchback (egg :-P). The convertible is the cutest little car! It is awesome for the summer! Only problem is they were only made for a couple years back around 1991!
Not only do they seem to age well, but they are roomy and comfortable! I am 5'11'', and I can sit in the back seat of the hatchback and not be cramped. My head doesn;t touch the top either.
They fit into small spots where you couldn't fit most other cars out there.
As you are buying used, if you have any friends who know about cars, take them with you so you don't get screwed.
Here's a funny fact: The Metro has never left us stranded. My mom's $50,000 Mercedes was completely immobilized when a rat chewed through the wiring harness....(the car is a computer on wheels). It caused $1000 worth of damage.
Oh yeah....Metro parts are also really cheap!
On top of everything, if taken care of properly and driven sanely, you can get around 50 MPG!!!!
I think GM should bring back the Metro!

Only vehicle that will last for that much would be a truck, I reccomend a toyota tecoma, those things last forever.
