The best cheap beater for under $2,000
I am going to be looking for a beater over the summer. I was wondering what the least problematic vehicles for under $2,000 could be. I see cars like Volvos and such with over 200,000 miles for a little under this cap with owners swearing by them as the most reliable car ever but nothing screams red flag like a foreign car with over 200k...
The last car I made the mistake of using as my beater seemed ok but ended up being the biggest hunk of problematic, unsellable TRASH I had ever owned. The heat didn't work, the transmission was like a heroin addict without his heroin, just garbage!
1994 Mazda 626 DX = Fail...
It seems like domestics are cheap but I always worry about them because low mileage on those cars is typically higher mileage on others. Just because it's low doesn't mean anything.
What should I stay away from and what should I shoot for?
Honda, Toyota are seemingly too expensive: This price range gets you a rust bucket that needs work typically.
