There are countless 928s, 944s, 951s, etc in the $2-6K range in the local CL. And weirdly enough, 928s used to somewhat hard to find, but as of today, there literally 5-6 current ones listed.

We have slightly different standards of nice then, because I looked at Atlanta Craigslist for the fun of it. There's a decent (but not great) 1985 944 at $8k, a decent 928S at $9k, and 914 with rust that needs paint for $8k. There is a clean 924S for $6k and a 928 S4 5-speed that needs paint for $14k that would be worthy of a look. After that it goes downhill in a hurry, though there are some decent Boxsters that are affordable.

For those who say there isn't anything fun, interesting, and cheap, take a look at the Japanese sports cars. Prelude, CRX, 200SX, 240SX, RX7 (through FC), MR2, Celica, Supra, 300ZX, Sentra SE-R, 323 GTX, 3000GT, Galant VR4, Eclipse, Miata, and probably some others that I am forgetting to list. Lots of cool old stuff for not much money.
