buy a beater AWD dsm.... 4 wheel drive and pimp value in one box
I think he's done with DSM's gsx.... haha 
Be careful of the cheap trucks, most of them need massive amounts of work to be anywhere near realiable. Plus they suck gas like it's going out of style (trust me, I just bought one...
)
On that note, I happen to have this fine example of ingenius German Engineering in my possesion that I'd be willing to part with for the right price. It's been my DD for the last 2 months or so... 33mpg +, room for 4, 5-speed fun, FWD traction, and it's even got A/C!!! I'm talking about my little 86 Jetta, 153k and it's had massive amounts of work done to it in the last 3 years while my mechanic Father-in-law owned it and drove it daily. $700 and it's yours!!

that sounds like quite a good little car
can i get a pic of the jetta? if it has been well maintained then i may consider it. thanks.
Definately not much to look at, but I'll try to get one tonight. Forgot to mention that it's got a CD player, too.
Problems: Fair amount of surface rust starting all over, exhaust rattles when you go over big bumps, runs a little rough on start-up (but always starts), and it's a little difficult to get used to shifting (very sloppy shifter).
All-in-all a very good little car, especially for $700.
