Well that dosn't sound as fun but, I have a freind that bought a 93 Imprezza L of of another guy I know ( I acctually set up the deal) with 200K on it for $500. The body and interior were in great shape and aside from brakes and tires and regular maintnace the car was all original. I had installed a 2.2L in it becouse someone didn't tighten the crank pulley on the 1.8L after doing a timming belt, and it wreaked the end of the crank. So the motor in it was newer than 200k and the reason the guy was selling it for $500 was becaouse the tranny (auto) blew up.
So my freind bought the car for $500 spent $700 to get the tranny rebuilt and the only thing we've done to it was an axle and motor seals at 260K miles other than that stuff the car is still on the original bearings, 3 axles, struts, and other stuff.

Moral of the story: good reliable cars that can be found cheap.
