I'd love to have an old Jeep CJ7 for a beater.

If I had a beater, I'd want it to be a pickup truck. Not too much of a beater. It would need to start when I wanted to use it. But it could look like absolute hell, and I'd be fine with that.

Hey Monster, what about something like a Toyota or Nissan pickup truck? Small, good gas mileage, reliable, and usefull as all hell!?

Ps...my first car was a Honda CVC. Just about square and could park it on the sidewalk, practically. Loved it! (But they don't make them anymore).

You literally cannot get one for less than $4k though. No matter how rusty and tired. Much better off going with a grand cherokee. You can get a daily driveable one for $3500, and a beater for $1500.
