OK, How about Dry Suits?

You should be able to get into a decent tri-lam suit with insulation for $1400.  The Bares will fall into that range.  Where are you in the state?  Divepoint Scuba in Stevens Point is a Bare dealer, and I think they may have some rental/demo suits.  Greg at Shipwreck Adventures is a DUI dealer, but I'm not sure you can get into a DUI for $1400.
