As for maintenace, if someone like me can do a major tuneup on a Honda, I'm sure everyone else here can as well. Honda parts are also a dime a dozen on CL.

Regardless, I agree that it would be helpful for me to have a beater, if I had a couple of grand in my lap right now (you have to spend money to save money, right?).
so are you going to start using 100oct? i say go for it!
keep in mind that the beater will cost you on insurance too, so you don't quite make it back that quickly. i bought mine b/c i can drive it however way i wish (no babying), it has more cargo carrying capacity than my sedan, maintenance can be done by me, and if i ever get bored, i'll drop in another motor!
