Default I got $1,500 cash to spend, what used welder to look for?

Like the title says. I have $1,500 bucks cash to spend on a used welder. What model should I be searching for? Im looking for a Tig welder. I mainly plan on using the welder to weld up roll cages, slight exhaust work and some custom fab stuff that i do for the shop. I really want the most used bang for my buck. Im looking for something i can grow into.

Thanks

You are not that far away from being able to purchase a new Miller Diversion 180. Watch Indiania welding supply they have deals on them. I sold an older Lincoln 300am AC/DC tig and bought the Diversion 180 and have not looked back it is one tough maching and welds great. I did change out the hose for a flex hose and a WP9 torch.
