Yeah its called a beater.
One of my friends drives 100 miles a day round trip to work. His commuter car is a 2000 sunfire with 380,000 miles. He is not running up miles like that in his diesel truck.
You better buy a car now as there is a new and used car shortage that's only going to get worse before it gets better.
The perfect time to buy a beater car was 2018. That's when I got my nissan leaf. Gas was under $2 a gallon and no one wanted an electric car.
Unfortunately it's a sellers market and I could easily get about what I paid for it almost 4 years and 50,000 miles ago.
