A used Vespa and a rain suit....
 
Frankly, you have one of the safest cars for a teenage driver on the market.
Sure, they think it looks like Grandpa's car and would rather not be seen
driving it, but they can get what they want when they can buy & insure their
own.
 
Check around on the Net, there are forums & clubs for these cars, with a
bunch of parts available.
 
Finding a car as good as what you have for $2K is gonna be near impossible.
Might as well buy a $1K car, and use the other $1K for the repairs that it
will need. A $2K car will probably need $1K to get it right....assuming
major systems (like the tranny and a/c) are OK.
