Buying My First Mustang

I have a budget of around $3000. I was going to get a 2000 Toyota Camry or a Honda Accord, but now I have the Mustang fever and would like to get one. With such a low budget is it worth it to get a Mustang or just stick with one of these other vehicles? Which year would probably be best for me? Also was wondering if a manual made it more fun to drive or if I should stick with an automatic. Thanks in advance!
