My budget was 10-15K so I was looking for an SC last winter. I found a great deal on a '79 at 12K from a Pelican previous owner and previous-previous owner, bought in April 2012.
The cars I found at 10K and lower were not suitable for a daily driver, while at 12K I found one without rust and with an engine rebuild.
My advice is to do a lot of looking before you buy. Take your time and don't jump at a car because it looks like a great deal - its better to miss a good car because you were too careful than to snap-buy a car that sucks away your money. You are in the South, so you'll probably be able to check out more potential buys in person. I got a copy of Zimmerman's The Used 911 Story, which is a great buyer's guide. It will help you know what potential problems to look for so you don't end up paying for a pre-purchase inspection on a car that's not going to be good.
Good luck, and feel free to ask about cars here as much as you like - there's no dearth of opinions, advice, and general knowledge.
