Fairbury, NE (Southeast) | Agree above about a stick welder for less than ideal conditions. There are some interesting options on rods out there as well.
For wire feed I'm a miller guy. FB marketplace or Ebay is your friend. When looking, bring someone to inspect and run it. Should be able to get low hour good 215 miller which will do 90% of what a 250 will do for under 1500. I would look at a brand new 142 if you don't plan on any heavy welding, same price range brand new.
Have a Vintage we run at least once a week and they should be in that range as well. Getting some age on it obviously, but tt is a much easier unit to keep running and do a good job with than our 250. No idea why. Forums say it has a softer arc.
If you are going to be welding every week more $ would be warranted.
