It'll easily fit within your budget. But at this point, it's a very old car. You'll have to be patient and look at a lot of units to find one that doesn't need too much work to bring it back to 'fairly new' condition.

Main things to look out for on the ESi include a poorly repaired or cheaply repaired cooling system (metal top radiator? cracked hoses? stay away... the owner doesn't really car for it well)... and rust on the roof.

The engine, in general, is a good one, but if it doesn't run right, just shop around and find one that does.

There are newer cars (non-Honda) that fit within your budget. Be flexible, and look around at many different secondhands and be patient. Finding a good buy secondhand takes time.
