I bought a '92 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 for $800 off of Craigslist back in September. I have to say, the Rodeo appears to have been in much better shape than this tracker. I bet you can find something a little less likely to explode if you look a little longer. An Isuzu Amigo or 2-door Pathfinder might be good bets for something similar.
