I've had a lot of 'beaters' over the years. My favorite was probably the 2008 Honda Fit. I drove the car 100K miles, only ever feeding it consumables, most of the time with a dumb grin on my face because of how tossable the little guy was.

These days I don't rack up the miles as much as I used to, so a 100K-with-no-major-repairs car isn't as important as it once was. My most recent beater was a Lexus GS350, which I bought CPO and which gave me 60K bulletproof miles. I swapped it for a Mercedes E350 wagon which, while probably not as economical to own, is far more useful. If Lexus made a 5/E class wagon I'd have given it a long look.
