Default Wanted: Cheap Daily Driver

Anyone know of anything around cheap that is durable and has a/c. Dont care what it looks like but need it dependable to be able to put miles on it to and from work.

Just bought a new F250 and dont want to rack miles on it to and from work.

I also have a built LS Boost Motor I can possibly trade if the car value is worth it.

I wish I had the funds for that but I need something less than $2500 or a trade for my motor.

$2500 isn't going to get you a reliable DD. Its going to get you an older, high mileage car that you are going to end up replacing the engine or transmisson sooner than later.

Ive bought a few daily drivers for less than $2500 over the years that were very reliable. Not saying I was something beautiful just need it to be mechanical sound.

Shame you aren't closer to me.

01 Silverado RCSB with 207k miles for $2500
03 Grand Am with 197K for $2500
98 Mustang with a 207+K for $1900.

All are clean, good running, and have cold A/C. The silverado has a bad heater core.
