Check salvage yard. Find a parts chaser special that the shop and wreckers use- runnable, but ugly some body damage and too old for insurance company to fix. Under $1000.00, figure a years worth of use. Pick a large sale volume model- Ford Escort, Chevy celebraty, Dodge Horizon, Toyota Camry, Etc. Example: Chev Geo with backend damage sold for $500.- duct tape and plywood on back, trailer light kit for legal lights. A yard I know has set aside some student repair/learn to drive/expendable get to work for winter types like this. Others are the broke timing belt haul ins. Chevette timing belt costs $20.00, that and oil change, tuneup 1/2 day added to $30.00 tow bill, $30.00 replacement title, fan belt- about $100.00. $200.00 sale price for a guys granddaughter to learn to drive. Car back to shop for Tires -$40.00 a pair, and brake job(?$) over years use- granddaughter took it to college. Think cheap, ugly, short use and helps if you can fix something yourself. RN
