I lucked out.
I was given a 91 Ford Escort Wagon beater. Thought I'd drive it till it quit but it's still going, averaging 32mpg on the ethanol blends and I've put on over 60k milesin two years. Everything works but the cruise control. Manual Windows. Heater, Defroster, AC charged. I run synthetic Oil and I get blue smoke on cold startup but no significant oil usage, no drips, no car payment, It's wonderful! The Wife and I even drove it to Calif on vacation last summer, and she's pretty particular about what she'll ride in.
It's not a chick magnet, but like a mutt dog, I've learned to love this thing for it's loyalty.
