For that kind of money good used doesn't work well.

You would need that AND a lot of luck. How about three grand?

Doubtful, anything that cheap is gonna have a TON of miles and probably a TON of problems too

Possible, but rare.
You want to have a qualified licensed TECH do a survey before you buy it.
Generally is the minimum you would pay, and expect to put another 500$US in to it within two years or so.
