Default WTB: Winter Beater

Looking for a cheap winter beater. Not really looking for a truck becuase i want something that is going to get good mileage. Prefer a manual trans but im open to pretty much anything. Must be reliable. Thanks guys

define CHEAP!! Cause im selling my car for 15k obo.. and its AWD. if you sell off some of the parts your can recoup the price a bit. And the suspension would do good to be raised to stock for winter driving.
