It’s all in the beater and how you pick it. When I lived in Buff, I scooped some of the nicest beaters ever. Heat would make you sweat, never put $$ except for gas into them and drove like a champ and started better half of the time than my other car.

FYI-I never paid more than $750 for any of my beaters. Trucks included!!!
