Beater for 2 to 3k?
I need a reliable car for about 2 or 3 thousand dollars for the winter months.
Let me know if you guys have some input on what I should buy... |

How about a 4th gen Camaro? A V6 is definitely within that price range.

I bought me a 1999 Blazer for my daily beater. Paid $2800. Great little vehicle. Had to keep it GM you know.

I know it's not an answer to the question you asked, but the Camaro is really good in the snow if you put on some winter tires.

If I had to (and the free cash on hand) I'd go for a CUCV K5 blazer or K20 pickup. Most go for 3-5K with around 85-90K miles on them. Diesel, military maintained, bare bones, and damn near bullet proof.
Granted it's not turbocharged but it's still a Detroit Diesel. The one on our dump outlived the trans it's mated to. Just can't kill that thing. |

If you don't want a 4wd SUV, get a Subaru. Since I see you're in North Jersey, you're going to want the 4wd or AWD and probably not fwd.
