2k will get you a nice beater....I disagree with RossMan on the geos...they are too much grief...look for an nice ford escort. There are plenty of them on the road, and the parts are cheap.

The Geo Prizm was always in the top 5 for reliability and safety, the escort was/has not been in the top of anything, esp the old ones.
Even the Geo Storm is a good car, again if taken care of.

Get an old buick... they may not be too stylish, but they built these vehicles like a tank... (dad's 88 park avenue is @ 221,790 miles) original engine, tranny, and most other components... It's all electronic on the inside (from dash to temp control)... AC still works and it's still the same R12 in it...
Lovely car to drive... gets great gas mileage (like 30 to 35 mpg)
