Dan, I'd suggest sticking to a 5th gen if you're on a tight budget and this is your daily.
Parts are an absolute nightmare to get for 3rd gens and 2nd gens, even basic things like suspension components (standard or otherwise).
You should be able to get a decent 5th gen for that money, with plenty of life left in it

3rd gens parts are easy to get. I never had issues sourcing parts for mine.
