My cheapest car to own was my 1970 VW camper. I bought it in 1986 for $2500 and sold it in 2003 for $1500. I put 370,000 miles on it. I replaced the motor 3 times for a total of around $3000 and painted and restored it once for around $3000. Add around $2000 for tires, this and that and it comes out to around $9000 for 17 years and 375,000 miles. I only had to be towed once when the oil cooler blew a seal and fried the motor.
