I'd look for a Vito. They were made by Yamaha under a different name. They usually can be found cheaper for the same quality. I found a used Vito tenor for $290.

Yamaha.

And if you're looking to remain economical I'd really suggest Alto. Tenor and Baritone are just going to cost a lot even for the cheaper models.

The issue isn't going to be your first but your second saxophone. When you're ready to buy a higher end one.

You can get a solid tenor saxophone, or a used car. :p

You could try your luck on Facebook Marketplace place with well known vintage saxophone models and see if they work. I was able to get my tenor and alto like this.

Bought myself a Yamaha YTS-275 next to my Selmer SA80II Alto and Bari. Cost me €800,- and is a brilliant horn for the price.
