Basically it was "people who specified the C8, and those who didn't." I feel justified in doing so since both the C7 and C8 are both on sale right now.

Son of a gun. I even checked to be sure c8 was actually for sale but didn't think it needed specifying. No argument on points, it is what it is.

Also lol at anything Nissan. I nearly put a Nissan but couldn't decide and assumed there wouldn't be any consensus on one model! I was rightish. Meanwhile I thought the new Priuses were at least a little spicy.

Here you can't get poo poo-all for under $2k that moves under its own power, but $3k might get you something that'll pass inspection and be a beater and not a project. I also forgot about the Jimny in the earlier questions, because it's not for sale here. :(

A $1k beater in Ontario has a good chance of coming with a safety already done. I only put $1k down because I was worried $500 was gonna be top sheep even though $500 is what I'd consider true beater territory.

My $1k is in Canadian dollars.

See to me a beater is a vehicle which while cheap and trashy I could keep as my sole registered vehicle for 2-5 years and not at any point worry about whether I can get to work or have to do large surprise repairs in a snowbank. That, these days, around here is a 3k car either upfront or bought cheaper and made up with initial repairs. I've been lucky once or twice to find good cars much cheaper than that (and worse ones for more cake) but if I'm looking that's my budget.

When the local cops here started offloading CVPIs, you could get them at auction for a few hundred dollars each. Fleet-maintained and w/safety. They are probably the cheapest "beater" you can get in Ontario and, while they are usually hogged out and have a billion km on them, they aren't the worst vehicles on the road by a long shot.

I kinda regret not doing buying one back when they were a common sight at auction but, if I was gonna get a Ford cop car it would have to be an 80s LTD P72.

Basically, in rural Ontario you can offload a shitpile-but-running car for a couple hundred bucks and probably see it on the road with plates the same day. Lots of people do get valid safety inspects but there is no shortage of mechanics willing to charge 250-300 (roughly twice the cost of legitimate) to take on the risk of saying your shitheap is roadworthy. It's theoretically possible you could end up paying more for the bum safety than the car.

In all honesty most are pretty drat reliable across the board but other than Toyota and Honda coasting on their reputation from the 90's, who else would be top dog for reliability?
